i hate to share emitters with 2 systems. i will put another emitter on the device that is being shared, qick and best way. in this palsma world we allready having problems making a single zone H.T. system working, by sharing an emitter we are combining 2 ir systems. if one system is picking up a noise or not working that will effect the other one and the whole system is down. from last few weeks i'm ginong through lot of ir problems. i use audioplex for plasmas, it used to work great. one day audioplex tried to made there product better and messed it up
big time. now it's constant test between me and audioplex, thet send me a unit after unit to try.
after few tries now i got some jobs done. in the mean time i used speakercraft ir stuff, it's a best looking ir stuff i've ever seen. very well desinged and work good too it's not 100% plasma proof but i was able to get the results by changing the eye locations. speakercraft emitter are the best emitters, come with lock in holder. holder stays at the device and you can take the emitter on and off without the sticky glue problem. guys that holder stays.... on the device eye.
we all know that crestron has independent ir output ports so you can not inject an ir noise into the crestron unit that can create problems for the rest of the emitters, but still why to take chance. why to cut, splice,solder,diode,ect.
Don't get me wrong i use crazy stuff to get me job done relays diodes sensors triggers solder you name it i do this kind mostly to use one pair of speaker with two system, drop down screen or for a unit that has a hard power button, ect
