Features of IR Extenders
Usually there are 4 components for an IR Extender namely IR Emitter, IR Receiver, IR Transceiver
and DC power.
IR Receiver – It is placed where it has an unobstructed line of sight between it and your remote
control. It receives commands from your remote control and pass on to the IR Emitter.
IR Emitter – An adhesive small chip which sticks to the Infra red point on your Set Top Box. It
communicates between the IR Receiver and your electronics devices
Some IR Extender comes with a few emitters for the purpose of amplifying the infrared signal of
several electronics devices. Commonly comes in one, two, four or eight emitters to suit your
requirements.

3. IR Transmitter is usually used when many receivers or emitters are required by the user. All IR
Receivers & Emitters will be connected to this IR Transceiver which receive and send out signals.
A quality IR Extender can drive up to 24 Emitters effectively such as our model BD324
DC Power – IR Extender/ IR Repeater requires DC power
DC5V power can be drawn by using USB 5V adaptor or by connecting the USB cable to your
electronic device ( if the devices have USB Port ).
