Extron IR Emitter and Shield - Dual Kit (part number 70-283-02) — two IR emitters fed from one Extron IR output.

When a rack holds two devices that both need infrared commands, the usual answer is to burn a second IR port. The dual kit avoids that. One 10 foot lead carries the signal out to a pair of blinking IR emitters, each of which sticks onto the IR window of its own device, with a shield over each to keep room lighting and stray remotes from interfering. Mounting adhesive comes in the box. Extron's installation guide is explicit that no more than two emitters may hang off a single controller or switcher IR port, which is exactly what this kit delivers.

Key Capabilities

• Two IR emitters driven from a single Extron IR port.
• 10 ft (3 m) wire lead supplied with the kit.
• IR emitter shields included to reject ambient infrared.
• Mounting adhesive supplied for attachment to each IR window.
• Compatible with any Extron product that offers an IR emitter output.
• Meets Extron's two-emitters-per-port installation limit in one assembly.

Where It Is Used

Racks where a display and a source player sit side by side, dual-projector classrooms, digital signage cabinets holding two media devices, and control system retrofits where the processor is short on IR ports and adding another card is not worth the cost.
