IR
Outfitting a boardroom, classroom, retail space, or hospitality suite requires setting up communication and control systems that you can rely on. IR accessories give users a straightforward way to connect the control system to legacy and modern AV equipment alike. IR solutions are one of the most effective ways to transform basic remote controls into powerful, integrated command tools. They capture, extend, and relay infrared signals so your AV gear works harmoniously within a smart system meticulously set up for maximum productivity.
This category features purpose-built tools to simplify IR integration, IR emitters and receivers, IR repeater kits, IR converters, and IR cables for linking control systems to IR ports on extenders, switches, or displays.
Integration of IR-capable devices makes the workflow much simpler. We all know and understand the dated remote control TV signal transmission mechanism. An IR receiver on the remote captures the remote’s “power on” signal. The control system processes the command. The IR emitter cable relays the signal to a TV display’s hidden sensor, and the TV turns on, no line-of-sight needed.
IR accessories enable modern setups to retain the functionality of the older times, along with the modern hyperfast signal transmissions. IR accessories are the unsung heroes of room automation. They make the old work with the new, reducing clutter and putting control where it belongs: in the user’s hands.

Why IR Matters
While newer tech emerges, IR remains indispensable for three reasons:
- IT provides the legacy support that controls the older DVD players, displays, or soundbars that lack the modern connectivity.
- It is a cost-effective way to avoid replacing completely functional equipment just because it is old. IR systems allow for retrofitting them into automated systems.
- It allows for discreet integration of compatible devices into the control system. Users can easily place the gear inside unobtrusive racks while controlling it reliably from across the room.
