Costa Mesa, Calif., May 4, 2007 - Channel Vision, a leading provider of technology for the Well-Connected Home, announced it has further expanded its line of Infrared Control Systems with a new single room IR System and two multi-room IR-receivers. Simple and compact in design, the new products offer greater flexibility with included adhesive-backed mounting accessories for a variety of installation options. These include a hole mount for system control behind cabinet doors, a tabletop mount and holsters for discretely mounting receivers and emitters to the front of components or to shelves.

The newest products join the company’s comprehensive line of IR control systems that provide a competitive price/performance value for a broad range of applications. It includes products for single room, whole-house IR distribution and IR control over existing TV coax cable.

The company’s new All-in-One IR-System (IR-5000) offers a complete 1-room entertainment center solution for controlling up to 8 AV components. Its two new IR-Receivers, the Remote Head IR-Receiver (IR-2400) and the J-Box IR-Receiver (IR-2005) are ideal for use in creating a whole-house IR System allowing multiple components to be controlled from one or more locations throughout the home.

IR 5000 -
By providing all the essential components needed in one package, the IR-5000 simplifies the equipment needed for a single room system. A built-in receiver connected with a 36-inch cord allows it to be placed discretely. Wired directly to the IR-Repeater Hub, the signal is routed to the IR emitters, which plug directly into one of the four available emitter outputs. The IR-5000 is plasma/fluorescent-proof allowing it to maintain signal integrity when placed near compact fluorescent lamps, plasma and LCD TVs, or in direct sunlight. Utilizing the included mounting accessories makes it easy for installers to quickly and cleanly complete the job.

IR-2400 -
The new Remote Head IR-Receiver (IR-2400) features an attached two-piece design with a 36-inch cord allowing the remote sensor to be placed in an inconspicuous location while the remaining electronics can be hidden behind a TV or other components. With its 3-wire screw connectors, the IR-2400 can be wired back to an IR hub, such as the Channel Vision P-1205, located in an enclosure or rack to create a whole-house IR-repeating system. Also a plasma/fluorescent-proof receiver, the IR-2400 utilizes optical and electrical filtering against interference and includes the following mounting accessories - hole mount, tabletop mount and receiver holster for easy flexible installation options.

IR-2005 -
The new J-Box IR-Receiver, IR-2005 is a stylish receiver that enables the easy creation of an in-wall IR system when connecting it to an IR distribution hub such as the P-1205.
