Sewell InjectIR Reinvents The IR Extender, Sends Signals Over Existing HDMI Cables
IR extenders have long allowed homeowners to neatly hide A/V equipment and cable boxes in linen closest and other rooms. The results are awesome as you get all the functionality of the boxes without looking at the ugly things. (and it keeps them away from the kiddos) But IR extenders are traditionally clunky devices, requiring their own special wiring and large receiver units. Enter Sewell InjectIR. It's genius.The InjectIR system plugs into both ends of an HDMI cable. The end by the TV has an IR receiver and the end by the equipment, an IR emitter. Like a traditional extender, the IR receiver takes the IR signals transmitted by any remote and sends that signal to the emitter end where it's broadcasted to the equipment's IR sensor. Except with the InjectIR, the system works over an HDMI cable, which is probably already in place.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/CZTeGKiQvM0/
