The time when we used to have to cross the room to change TV channels, or put on the surround-sound system is luckily long gone.
Infrared (the signal that is emitted by your remote control) is the solution for operating your TV and A/V devices from the comfort of your armchair. And it works pretty effectively!
There are, however, two limitations:
1. The signal only has a range of 8 metres and
2. It needs to be able to ‘see’ the device if it is to work.
Responding to this situation, Marmitek, who has been developing infrared extenders for over 15 years, has introduced two new products, which are set to turn the world of operational ease on its head:
How to Operate A/V devices that are situated in a closed cabinet.
Locating A/V devices under a cabinet, in an open cabinet, or one with glass doors, or always having the doors open.
These are just a few examples, of how people try to get around the limitations of the infrared signal.
Invisible Control4
- Marmitek’s new Invisible Control4 is an elegant, small box that you locate under, or to the side of your A/V furniture, in sight of your remote control.
- You simply stick the IR LEDs supplied onto the IR window of your A/V devices, (maximum of four); then direct your remote control towards the Invisible Control4 to operate your A/V devices.
Operate A/V devices that are situated in another room……
Is your satellite receiver in the electric meter cupboard, or even on the other side of the house?
Why not operate it while you are watching TV with the GigaControl450?
The new GigaControl450 comprises an IR receiver and an IR transmitter.
- Place the IR receiver in the room where you use the remote control.
- Place the IR transmitter in sight of the equipment that you wish to operate.
- Point the remote control at the IR receiver in order to operate equipment through your walls (wirelessly) via the IR transmitter.
- Now with Marmitek infrared extenders, you can really use your remote control to operate your devices at a distance.
Plug and Play and a world of operational simplicity are about to open up for you and no more ugly A/V devices on view.
Both products have a recommended retail price of £39.95 Inc.VAT.
