Perfect solution for IR extension [Posted on 2008-02-01]
I have a home theater I've been building for a number of years and when I painted the walls and ceiling dark colors my IR universal remote could no longer bounce the signal off the front wall and screen to hit the equipment in a rack behind me. I did quite a bit of research and for the money found the Buffalo Electronics IR solution was what I needed.
This is the heart of the system. It's a piece of cake to install. Simply buy a sensor like the Buffalo IR-350 Cabinet Mount IR Repeater and then you run Cat5e cable from the sensor to the receiver, plug in up to four emitters (they come in 1 flasher, 2 flasher and 3 flasher models for a total of up to 12 devices per control block) and you're done.
This system was piece of cake to install. A friend and I got all the wires run and emitters attached in an hour. I can't believe I waited as long as I did to do this. If you're planning a theater or want to put your components in a closet and need an IR extension solution this is what you want. You can use really long runs (other side of the house) without fear of losing the signal (other solutions have short cable lengths that don't make them very useful).
I even split up one of the emitter cables to use for my IR light switches on the side of the room and it worked fine spliced with Cat3 cable (phone line). Great product.
