The Keene IR Commander Matrix enables IR control to be used on equipment that is located in positions where your remote wouldn’t normally work. For example, equipment placed inside cabinets with closing doors, located on shelves behind you or around a corner, or even in other rooms. The unit is very flexible, allowing for a number of configurations that will solve almost all IR control problems. The IR Commander incorporates the proven technology of the Keene IRBKIT Distribution amplifiers and IR Anywhere modules to provide a greatly expanded number of inputs and outputs. Its matrix routing capability allows commands from specific inputs to be routed to specific outputs. Use of optional expansion modules allow control of equipment over long cable runs (up to 50m). It can be used with or without connection to a network. When used with a network connection advanced features are available.
