Blustream IRE1 Single IR Emitter 5V
The Blustream IRE1 is a single 5V infrared emitter for Blustream HDMI and HDBaseT™ distribution equipment. When sources such as a satellite receiver sit in a rack or another room, the IR commands sent from the viewing zone travel through the matrix or extender and are re-sent by the IRE1, which is fixed directly over the IR window of the device being controlled. It is also used at the display end, so a control processor can reach a screen through a Blustream receiver.
The emitter bud is tear-drop shaped, with a short-range output designed for discreet control of one device, and is fixed in place with the supplied double-sided sticky pad. It sits on a 1.45m cable with a 3.5mm mono jack and covers a 20kHz to 55kHz frequency range. Like Blustream's other 5V IR cabling, it should not be used with a product set to accept and distribute 12V IR. To control two devices from one IR output, Blustream make the twin IRE2.

IR Emitter - IRE1
The Blustream 5V IR emitter is designed for IR control of AV hardware. The emitters have a short-range output and have been specifically designed for discreet IR control. Use the supplied double-sided sticky pad to attach the bottom / flat surface of the tear-drop shaped emitter bud directly over the IR window of the device needing control.
Ensure both surfaces are clean before applying the sticky pad: failure to clean the surface may lead to the emitter not sticking in the desired location.
Check the position of the IR window on the equipment you are controlling
It is easy with some AV equipment to identify the IR window on the unit, but some equipment is harder to identify. Every device will have its IR receiver in a different position. Sometimes they are identified in the device manual, or is marked on the front of the device. Sometimes they can be hidden, or can be identified by a thinning of plastic (like a window for the IR to get in) on the front of the device. Shining a torch along the front of a device can assist to locate the optimal position for an emitter to be placed. Most IR emitters (like the Blustream IRE1) need to be placed directly over the top of the window / sensor.
Use of 12V IR Emitters & Receivers
Some more recent Blustream products feature the ability to pass-through or accept a 12V IR signal. Products such as the HEX70CS-KIT, HEX100CS-KIT, HEX150CS-KIT, ACM200, or CustomPro PRO-8IR-V2 all contain a switch to set the product to accept and distribute a 12V IR signal when using 3rd party IR equipment.
Please note: using Blustream 5V IRE, IRE2 or IRR cabling with products when set to accept and distribute 12V IR signals may result in the IR cabling being damaged. All Blustream product that has the option to accept or distribute a 12V IR signal will be set by default to 5V.

HDMI matrices and switches route your sources
Blustream's HDMI matrices and switches let you send several sources to several displays. The range includes 4x4 matrices such as the MX44AB-V2 and smaller switches such as the SW21AB-V2 and SW41AB-V2. A presentation switch, the MFP112, suits meeting rooms. Check the specification for the inputs and outputs.
HDBaseT extenders carry signals over distance
HDBaseT sends video, audio and control over a single network cable, which lets you place a display well away from its source. Blustream lists receivers such as the RX70AMP, which includes an amplifier, and extender sets such as the HEX100HDVGA-KIT.
Converters and cables fill the gaps
Audio extractors and converters, including the CAT100AU, DAC12AU, HD11AU, ADC11AU and DIG11AU, let you pull audio out of an HDMI signal or convert its format. Micro HDMI cables are also available, which helps when a source has only a micro connector.
