IR OUT/ALL IR OUT
Xantech D5KP Amplified Keypad feature a built-in IR Receiver that is used to control the sources connected to the D5RH using hand-held remotes. The four IR ports labeled 1-4 are Source-Specific. When a particular source is selected in a zone, the corresponding IR port is active and only the selected source receives IR. This allows for same-branded or identical source components to be controlled discreetly from one location without conflict. The ALL IR PORT is constantly active and passes IR information regardless of the source selected. This is useful for sources that may need control no matter which source is active, such as an A/V Receiver, or for applications utilizing an expanded IR network including IR Distribution devices such as Xantech’s 791-44 Amplified IR Connection Block.
To make IR connections, simply plug a standard 3.5mm IR emitter such as Xantech’s 283D IR Emitter into the desired port. If the source that is to be connected has an IR Input port, a 3.5mm (“mini-to-mini”) interconnect cable can be used instead. See Figure 3.6 for details.
