Relaying infrared signals is not as simple as it looks. Sunlight, plasma and other light sources can contain large amounts of infrared which can limit the range or completely block the relay of remote control commands. The outdoor lifestyle in Australia makes the need for higher performance critical. Australian homes tend to incorporate large glassed areas with extended outdoor living. This means that more often than not infrared relay systems are expected to operate in direct or reflected sunlight. As a result Andrew’s Audio has developed infrared receivers that give a minimum range of 5 meters in direct sunlight. This technology also provides benefits in operating range and off axis flexibility. New technologies such as emissions from plasma screens continue to test this technology. Andrew’s Audio continues to develop better infrared receivers to justify its worldwide reputation as the leader in infrared technology.
