The P-1205distribution hub supplies power to any standard IR receiver and IR signals to 4 emitter outputs (2 global, and 2 zone specific).

Mounting Options

￿Multiple IR zones can be created with additional units

￿Single power supply can support up to 16 IR receivers

￿Both mini plug and 3-wire connection for receivers

Expansion connectors are used to hook up

additional units and create more IR zones.

IR repeating concepts:

Most people are familiar with Infra-Red remote controls because they use them to operate their TV and other devices on a daily basis. However, some people may not be familiar with IR repeating. IR repeating allows the user to control devices which are not within the direct line of sight of the remote control. This is most commonly used in distributed audio/video systems where the source components are centrally located. See How IR repeating works on the next page for details.

IR zones:

Some IR systems, including the P-1205, are capable of creating zones that only repeat the IR signals that are picked up by a particular receiver (or group of receivers). This is useful when there are multiple devices from the same manufacturer, such as satellite decoders, that are operated with the same remote control. IR zones prevent one user from inadvertently control a satellite decoder that someone else is trying to watch.

The P-1205 can also be mounted in a standard structured wiring enclosure

as shown below.
