IR Learning Receiver
In most cases, Extron has already produced a driver file for controlling the projector, display,
or source device you plan to use. If a device driver file is not available, you can create your
own using Extron IR Learner software, the remote control of the projector or display, and the
IR learning receiver sensor on the IPL, shown the figure above.
This receiver accepts infrared signals of from 30 kHz to 300 KHz. The IR remote control
must be pointed directly at the receiver for best results. The front panel diagram indicates
the best distances and angles at which to hold the remote control.
