An IR extender (IR extender or infrared extender) is a device used to extend the range of infrared signals. Infrared signals are often used for the remote control of your television, TV decoder or DVD player.
Is a device to be operated located outside the direct view of your remote control? Then use an IR extender to pass the signal to the device to be operated.
Entry-level IR extender
Are you looking for a simple solution to operate all your equipment that is in a closed cabinet? Then choose an entry-level IR extender. This always works and is very easy and quick to install.
These systems consist of the following components:
- IR receiver: place this in view of the remote control
- IR extension cable: cable from the IR receiver to the extension unit 'IR module'
- IR extension unit 'IR module': is in the cabinet and receives the signal from the remote control. The IR module sends this signal to the IR transmitter.
- IR transmitter: place this on the device to be operated and is connected to the IR module. The IR transmitter then sends the signal to the device to be operated.

Wireless IR extenders
Wireless IR extenders consist of an IR receiver and an IR transmitter that are connected wirelessly. You connect them both to the socket.
The IR receiver is placed in view of the remote control and the IR transmitter is placed in front of the device to be operated.
When the remote control is used, the IR receiver sends the signal wirelessly to the IR transmitter, which then sends the signal to the device to be operated.
A wireless IR extender is perfect for when your TV is in the living room and your equipment to be operated is in another room. This type of IR extender is also very suitable when using a TV wall bracket.

IR extenders are used in situations where the desired device is out of direct sight of the remote control. For example, when it is placed in a closed cabinet or is in another room.
