Contemporary Research IR-232 Specifications Download Page 1

Contemporary Research AV Tools offer simple solutions to specific systems 

needs. The IR-232 IR to RS-232 Interface is an intelligent control tool 

that translates IR remote codes into RS-232 control commands. Able to 

automatically identify CR, JVC, Mitsubishi, NEC, Philips RC5, Samsung, 

Sharp, Sony and Tivo IR control codes, the IR-232 serves a wide variety of 

IR control applications.    

For the first time, integrators can easily combine off-the-shelf IR remotes 

with custom system applications. The process begins by linking the remote’s 

IR codes to native or user-defined RS-232 commands using the included IR 

ToolKit software. Once a complete list of functions is created, the database 

can be downloaded to the IR-232, printed, and saved for later use. 

To further simplify integration, the IR-232 structures continuous IR remote 

commands into discrete button push and release codes. When someone 

holds down the Volume Up button, the IR-232 doesn’t send a stream of  

RS-232 commands, just a single push, then a release code. 

The IR-232 can also act as a direct control interface for special control 

applications. Instead of sending the native commands, the IR-232 can be 

programmed to send user-defined RS-232 strings to a video projector, 

plasma display or other RS-232 controlled equipment.
