Our standard USB IR Transceiver can send and receive infra-red (IR) signals. It comes in 3 different variations. Common to all versions: Receive Standard 38 kHz IR Signals Transmit IR Codes at (25 – 125 kHz carrier frequency) USB device works under Linux and Windows The difference between the three version are how IR is transmitted and received: Dual Socket: Contains two stereo 3.5mm jacks for connecting wired IR emitters (also called blasters). Each jack can control two independent transmit channels, enabling a total of 4 independent IR sending channels. To transmit IR using this device, you need one of our IR Emitters per channel. To use two channels per socket, you need a stereo->mono adapter. Device has one on-board receive unit. Socket Receive: One stereo 3.5mm jack for connecting wired IR emitters and one stereo 3.5mm jack for connecting a wired receiver.
