GC-IRE IR Extender

The Global Caché GC-IRE IR Extender extends infrared capability by converting IR signals to digital data, which can then be read from any PC or RS232 serial port.

 

The GC-IRE is designed for use with various IR input devices to capture IR commands that can be recorded, played back, and used to initiate actions across a network. For the first time, an IR device, such as a remote control, can be used as an input device for equipment control throughout the home. For instance, by pressing a button on your bedroom remote you can adjust lighting, set your home’s temperature, and lower shades. The GC-IRE is the first IR extender able to support the full IR frequency spectrum from 30KHz to 500KHz.

 

The GC-IRE is compatible with the following IR receivers and input devices:
 •GC-RG1 is an IR receiver able to capture IR frequencies from 30KHz to 72KHz
 •GC-CXG connects a Xantech IR environment directly to the GC-IRE. An IR output from a Xantech distribution block is used as the GC-IRE input
 •GC-CGX connects a Global Caché IR output (GC-100 or iTach) to a Xantech distribution box IR input
