  1. IR Blaster help


    I'm looking to set up an IR blaster to control my TV and stereo. The TV is mounted on the wall and the cables are hidden in a cord hider that runs down to the cabinet that houses the xb1 and stereo. I'm looking for a two headed IR blaster, and the two
    heads need to separated by about 10' of cord in order to reach both the TV and the stereo. Every cord I've come across doesn't have enough slack to reach. Can someone recommend a product that will work? Or can I simply splice in some more wire?

    :)

    Hello SparkierFlame54,

    I have done some work in the past with IR codes and blasters. However, I have to ask a few questions. Are your expecting the same IR code to be transmitted on both blasters at the same time regardless of the IR codes need for the two devices? Do you have
    an Xbox One or One S? If you have an One S, have you tried using the IR blaster on the front of the Xbox to see if IR bounce and scatter can control the two devices? If you have
    Xbox One, do you have a Kinect, and have you tried the same IR bounce and scatter technique? With all that said, the answer to "splice in some more wire" is yes. If you make sure to maintain polarity, i.e. don't switch the wires, the only problem
    you may have is some signal loss and a weaker output of the blasters.

    Now, I can't recommend anything, but doing a quick search I was able to find an "Xbox One Ir Extender Blaster Cable (2 Head, 10 Foot)" at the Web site of a very famous online retailer....

    Good luck and good gaming,
