The Single Infrared Emitter contains a small diode that emits both infrared and visible red light and is housed in a miniature stylish injection-molded shell. It transmits IR control signals when activated by commands sent to it by IR extenders or controllers. The Single Infrared Emitter can be used to transmit IR control signals from automation control systems such as the Gefen PACS or Mini PACS to IR enabled products. The IR emitter's mini-phone plug is to be connected to the automation controller, and its emitter element is to be attached to the window of the device to be controlled, directly over its IR sensor.
