IR interface accessories are the individual building blocks a custom AV control setup assembles into a working infrared link: standalone IR emitters that send a signal to a piece of equipment, receivers that pick up a remote's signal, and the connecting hardware that ties them into a control processor. Where a full packaged extender kit does not fit the room's layout, these are the parts an integrator combines to build the link that does.
Match each accessory to the control system or processor it connects to - IR emitters, receivers, and connecting cables from different platforms do not always share a common connector or signal format. Plan emitter placement carefully; an IR emitter has to sit within direct line of sight (or on the receiving sensor) of the equipment it commands, unlike a full-room extender kit that handles placement as part of its design. These are typically integrator-specified components rather than off-the-shelf single purchases. COLAMCO supplies IR interface components for the custom AV control installations business, government, and education facilities have built.
