IR Driver

In this example, an IR Driver sends commands for a TV device to a single TV (or perhaps multiple TVs of the same model) in the same room.

In this example, an IR Driver sends commands for a TV device to each of the four IR Outputs of the IR1x4. An emitter is placed in each room, and each room has the same model TV. This example shows a hypothetical setup for a restaurant that contains four spaces with entertainment.

This example is similar to Example 2, except that two rooms have TVs of one model and the other two rooms use a different model. Therefore, two IR Drivers are required.

This example demonstrates how multiple IR Drivers - each for a different IR device - can be sent to multiple IR Outputs, with some IR Outputs sending IR commands from multiple sources. Each room has an IR emitter connected to an IR Output of the QIO-IR1x4.

• The Lounge and Entry only contain a TV.

• The Bar contains both a TV and a Media Player. Its IR Source Count property is set to '2'.

• The Patio has a TV, DVD player, and Media Player. Its IR Source Count property is set to '3'.

Note: For those IR Outputs sending commands from multiple sources (Bar and Patio), only a single IR command can be sent at a time.

In this example, the QIO-IR1x4's IR Input receives IR commands from an IR device – for example, a remote control for a TV that is not in the IR Driver's database. Each command can then be saved and labeled in the IR Receiver component.

Tip: Commands are saved locally within the IR Receiver component within the design.

In this example, an IR Receiver can learn commands from two QIO-IR1x4 devices. The IR Receiver's IR Source Count property is set to '2'.

Similar to Example 5, an IR Receiver learns commands from a QIO-IR1x4's IR Input. However, those learned commands can then be sent to one or more IR Outputs. In this example, the IR Receiver's Enable Transmit property is set to 'Yes'.

In this example, an IR Receiver receives commands from an IR Driver. This is useful for relabeling commands from the IR Driver's database when a different description is desired.

In this example, a QIO-IR1x4's IR Input is wired directly to its IR Outputs. This would be useful if you have an IR receiving device in one area but you want to control IR devices in other areas that are out of view of the receiver. The QIO-IR1x4 will simply relay the received commands to its outputs.

This example is the same as Example 9, except that the Conference Room devices can be controlled from two locations. "Front Desk" represents the IR Input on one QIO-IR1x4 device, while "Conf Rm Hall" is the IR Input on another QIO-IR1x4.
