Here is a great little video to help troubleshoot when you have an IR problem. Don't you love when you can find great useful videos like this one?

I was not a believer in that technique until watching that video.

I didn't see how to tell if the batteries were good or not, is the message hidden or something. I watched it three times now and just don't get it.

This is the video that led me to find the whole series. How to field strip an AR-15.

Aim it at any video camera- you should see a bright spot where the emitter is.
My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."

There is a credit card type "thingy"...that you can get to "SEE IR" not sure if that is what you are talking about.....but I used to keep one in my wallet and it was very helpful when needed....(unfortunately....I lost it a while back..and have not ordered another yet..) I need to do a google search to see if I can find it....it was only $10 or $15 and worked GREAT!!!

Obviously, none of you geek heads watched the video and totally missed the point.
No wonder half of you are still virgins.

Hmm. Now just imagine if some company had the bright idea to do product training courses in this fashion.

First time an RTI CEDIA course would sell out in the first thirty minutes.

Love it. I'm in, all the way. Just tell me where to sign up and how much to send.
And I don't even do RTI, but all of the sudden believe in their kool aid.

She was cute, but she forgot to mention that most digital cameras now (including cameras in smart phones) have IR filters and won't show IR light.

The back facing camera on current iPhones won't show IR at all and the rear facing camera will display it very faintly.  I think the IR filter on the back facing camera started with the iPhone 4s.

This has been a good trick/tool for a long time, but as cameras get better, that little IR card might make a better indicator.
