5.6 IR Target Cabling
An infrared (IR) target can be connected to the green Phoenix socket on
the rear of each Amplifier. This allows an IR remote control to operate
audio source equipment which is fitted with IR emitters connected to the
Matrix Switcher.
Figure 12 shows two methods of connecting an IR target
to an Amplifier.
A suitable IR target is the C
lipsal 8050TT Tube Target mounted on a
ceiling or wall (optionally via a wall plate). Extend the cable if required and
wire to a 3.5 mm stereo socket on a wall plate adjacent to the Amplifier.
Up to 45 m of total cable may be used between a target and the Matrix
Switcher (or Distribution Unit in standalone mode). Create a lead to
connect the Amplifier IR input to the 3.5 mm wall plate socket.
A Clipsal 8050ST Shelf Top Target can be mounted on top of a Desktop
Amplifier and plugged directly into the IR input on its rear panel.
IR signals received by external IR targets cannot directly control
the Amplifiers. Such control is accomplished via the IR receiver
built into the front panel of the Desktop Amplifier.
