- Starter and Expansion Kits Turn Existing Coax Wiring into A Whole-House IR Infrastructure
- ebuild (12/12/2006)
- Channel Vision's new IR-4500 and IR-4510 IR over Coax kits transform existing coax wiring into a comprehensive whole-house IR infrastructure. Use the IR-4500 Starter Kit for a single-room system and simply add an IR-4510 Expansion Kit for each additional room that needs IR control. This easy-to-install technology makes it simple to control all your home entertainment devices from anywhere in the home. While many newer homes may be pre-wired for whole-house IR control, older homes rarely have more than a single coax cable available at each TV location. While the time and expense of running new cabling in a finished home is often prohibitive, Channel Vision's IR Over Coax technology gives homeowners a reliable and cost-effective solution to this problem.
