Just Add Power IRD2 Ir Dongle RS232 to Ir Emitter

Product Description

The JUST ADD POWER IRD2 is an IR dongle that converts an RS232 serial port into an infrared emitter output. It plugs into the RS232 port of compatible AV distribution equipment and allows the system to send IR control signals to connected displays or source devices. This eliminates the need for a separate IR control device when the host unit already provides an RS232 output. AV integrators and system technicians install this accessory as part of a broader AV signal distribution setup. It ships as a single unit and is a straightforward add-on for expanding IR control capability within an existing installation.

The IRD2 is intended for use in AV signal processing and distribution environments where RS232-based IR control is required. It is suited for both residential and commercial AV installations where centralized control of displays or other IR-capable devices is managed through a distribution matrix or similar AV switching equipment. It is typically installed by AV technicians or systems integrators working with structured AV infrastructure.

Key Features

• Converts RS232 serial port output to infrared emitter signal
• Enables IR device control through existing RS232 port on host equipment
• Compact dongle form factor for direct port connection
• Sold as a single unit for targeted system expansion
• Designed for AV signal processing and distribution applications

Compatibility

Designed as an accessory for AV signal processing and distribution equipment featuring an RS232 port capable of IR emitter output. No specific compatible model numbers were provided in the available product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified AV technicians or systems integrators. Power down or place the host AV distribution unit in standby before connecting the IRD2 to the RS232 port. Verify that the host device RS232 port is configured for IR emitter output in the system software or control interface before testing. Follow the host equipment manufacturer documentation for IR control configuration and emitter placement guidelines.
