Topfox Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 All, Cant remember if I have asked this before, but is there a downside to using the LU1E for getting IR to remote locations vs a direct line from an EA-3 or Extender? I have a 8x8 Matrix, and my installer ran separate CAT5 runs for the IR vs using the 6 - LU1Es that are in use. The way they did it is kind of messy in my cabinet, so if there is no real downside I may try to switch it up vs their custom IR cables that are part emitter part CAT5.

Cyknight Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 The only things I can think if: -You cannot split IRs before feeding into the video matrix - so you can't combine a rack source with a TV if you can't go one on one. -If balun goes down, TV loose control (not an issue if all is centrally fed, but you also lose control over SmartTV and ability to view local soiurces) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topfox Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 Thanks. All the IRs being controlled with custom cables are just for TVs. All Input sources are centrally located in the cabinet have non custom IR cables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
