IR receiver to IR transmitter with DM-NVX


 

Hello. Is there an easy way to have an IR receiver on the display side and an IR transmitter on the source side? Example, a customer wants to control a remote cable box from the display side.
I was thinking about a USB TX/RX system that would use the KVM functionality of the DM-NVX-360 for example.
Also a IR over Ethernet could work, but all I find is IR over CAT-5 wich is not IP based and won't pass on a network.

I have only one network cable between this remote office and the room where the cable box is.

Anybody made that work before?

Thanks in advance for any idea!


 

Do you not have a processor or NVX transmitter at the remote end? You should have IR ports there.?


 

Yes, there is IR ports on the DM-NVX transmitter, but my problem is to grab the IR signals from the cable box remote at the NVX receiver and send them in real time to the NVX transmitter.?


 

The Global Cache GC-IRE might work, connected to the NVX decoder's RS-232 port. I'm not sure if its serial output could then be routed directly to a Global Cache transmitter in the program, or if those signals would need to trigger inputs on a Crestron IR driver. Maybe their tech support can provide some ideas...

Hi all,
?
Is can control crestron NVX system with kramer control system.

Thanks for this, yes, I see the way the IR signals could be detected in real time and send via RS-232. The question is, as you say, can these commands be received and retransmittted at the other end without external programming.

I'll contact Global Cache next week.

Thanks.


------------edit-----------
It just hit me that even if there could be another Golbal Cach¨¦ device as receiver, I would still need programming since the RS-232 ports on both DM-NVX devices need to talk to each other...

Oh well, thanks anyway.


 

AS Tony said. If they are using a Universal IR remote 1- Just do an IR Extender or 2. Have a device that does IR capture to 232 (assuming it is not used for the Display control. 3. Just pull a cable save time, money and support issues.


 

The one issue that I *think* you may have with GC in this conversion application (if it works) is that you would likely loose the ability to P+H on commands, like Ch+/-, Guide Up/Dn, etc....
