poseidonsystems Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 HI all, Does anyone know where the Xbox One IR location is? I have a few customers that are looking to have the Xbox in a rack location in the basement while using it in the family room but not sure where the IR location is or even if the controllers can reach that far? What are my options? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic30101 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 The black or white xbox one? I have a black one and it is pretty much under the eject button. What distance is the rack from the family room? Is the rack enclosed with side panels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poseidonsystems Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 The distance is about 50 feet but there are several walls the signal needs to go through. I even had a hard time pairing the sr 260 c4 remote, so I'm guess the Xbox one controller will have trouble too. They have the black one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Matthews Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Usb 2.0 over cat and plug the controllers in unfortunately is the only work around then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d1amund Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Yah that's a horrible idea. Wireless controllers won't work or will lag. No gamer wants to be tethered. Talk them into having the game console local to the display and feed AV back to the rack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poseidonsystems Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 Looks like they're hell bent for keeping the xbox one in the rack. Had to go with a Sewell usb 2.0 extension for the kinect and going to try a usb hub for the controller. Hope it works. Will report back.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turls Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 You probably aren't going to get a Kinect to work with a USB 2.0 extension. That worked for the 360, but most likely won't for the One. There is a huge thread about Kinect on Xbox One extension on AVS Forum. I was a huge Kinect fan but it was DOA on One for content. Need to talk them out of even bothering with it. And newer controllers are supposed to have more range (they will work with the original One). Another Microsoft fail on One, the old 360 controller range was much better than One. I've been fighting it and my rack is pretty close to the play location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRE2000 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Is your controller located in same area as the XBox? CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
