SONANCE OPTILINQ
2 IR REPEATER KIT over CAT5
USB POWER ADAPTOR
Introduction
Sonance IR products provide a simple solution to
controlling multiple AV devices. The IR Receivers pick up
commands from an infrared remote control and send
them to one or multiple points to be re-transmitted
through an IR Emitter. This system allows electronic
components to be hidden in cupboards or mounted
remotely in a rack while still providing a reliable means
of controlling them locally from a single point.
