Knoll Systems - Infrared Repeaters & Extenders

Digital Infrared Repeater Systems

Infrared repeater systems "relay" infrared signals broadcast in remote rooms or areas to electronic components that respond to these infrared commands. Most IR commands originate from hand-held remote controls. Knoll IR repeater systems relay these commands to the distant component.

Digital Infrared Repeater (DIR) is a new Knoll family of premium infrared repeater products. These products use a new system of digital signal processing to take an infrared signal apart and reconstruct it with any errors corrected. In real world conditions it should easily be able to pick up an indoor infrared remote control signal from 120’ (35m) or more and repeat it to the component with excellent results. Safe for use with plasma TV’s, direct sunlight and CFL's up to 30' (10m). Best of all due to it's very high sensitivity remote control batteries will last longer.

Except for the DIR10P and DIR21P, all of the receivers need to have their signal processed by either the DIR54, DIR55 or DIR58 connection block.
