The IR-422
receives infrared pulses from virtually any infrared VCR remote and
converts them into the "9-pin" RS-422 VTR remote control
protocol. It is now possible to have one IR remote in a viewing room
that not only controls the VHS or 3/4 inch playback VCR in the room, but
also controls any VTR, DDR or server in the machine room. No longer is
it necessary to make a viewing dub or to stand in the machine room in
order to show a tape to a client. Your product looks its absolute best,
and the better ballistics of the higher quality VTR makes scanning a
tape a pleasure, not a chore.
Often in the television industry, a company is chosen by the way a
demo tape is perceived, usually seen in the viewing room on a low cost
viewing VCR. Now, it is practical to show your product in the comfort of
your viewing room while taking advantage of the look and feel of quality
that can only come from a high quality video format. Don't compromise
picture quality unnecessarily during perhaps the most critical phase of
video production, the bid! Adding the IR-422 and running video, audio
and control wires to the machine room, will make your viewing room the
best it can be.
Many new viewing digital VCRs don't have infrared remote capability,
but do have RS-422 remote control capability. The IR-422 is ideal as an
external add-on that adds IR remote to any RS-422 controllable VCR.
