AndersE Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Anybody know some tech about using 3,5 jacks instead of IR-emitters with control4? With a high end stereosystem it does not look to good with IR-bugs on the frontpanels.I need to know the voltage level on the control signal from C4, and the output impedance on the driver.

shkdxb Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 as per HC300 training material:"Port#6 sends upto 500mV of Current and Port# 1 to5 ouputs 11.7mV current."I am not sure why C4 refers "mV" as current!!! current is measured in Amps and symbol should have been "mA" no idea how to interpret this!!also C4 released an program called irmodeedit.exe which can import your own or web driver and make them for direct connction to the equipement without any IR tagling in front, if your equipmnet is having ir jack.

danlevine Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 AndersE. Do you mean a direct IR connection with a 3.5mm jack (male to male). One way of hiding ir emitters if there is no direct IR or serial is to take the top of the unit apart and put the emitter inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecodeman Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I want to do that on my tv, but of course I have reservations about cracking open a nice plasma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkrock Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 i use a male to male calbe to my Denon 4306 and it works perfect. no ir bug. wish all gear had that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndersE Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 Thanks for the help guys. I'll give it a try and see what happens. As long as it is 11,7mV it can't really harm the equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supraboyz Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I have the media controller(AVM-MC1- Does anyone know the voltage level on the control signal from C4, and the output impedance on the driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingkev Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 help I can't get my TV to work with the IR thru my HTCI have a Sony KDL-52 I have tried the Driver for the TV, then I tried the manual input learn thru my Media controller. Swapped out my IR sensors. I can see the HTC sending the signals, but no response from the TV, the regular remote works, and I used it to teach the C-4 system.ANY HELP>>???THanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 On one of my Sony DVD players (and my comcast boxes too I believe) the IR signal wouldn't make it through the double stick tape on the IR bud. Once I removed that tap and used a little clear tape it worked great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I removed that tap and used a little clear tape it worked great.Good point ILoveC4. Sometimes the thicker tape on the C4 emitters can be a problem. I usually place the emitter a little above or off to one side of the receiver on the equipment. This seems to work and also lets you use the native remote of the equipment for control and trouble shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingkev Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 yea... no luck there...are there certain Sony TV's that won't work with the Control4 IR emitters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
