I am trying to decode this PACE Digital Receiver DC 220 KKD protocol:


What I have figured out so far:
  • Unlike most protocols, this does not have a long "start" burst
  • Seems to be a Manchaster (bi-phase) protocol
  • 22 bits?
  • 1 bit is 0,5 ms = 500 us
Does anyone know what protocol this is and how to interpret it?

Especially, what carrier frequency do I need? (I captured this at 96 kHz and one doesn't see the carrier waveform unlike with most other remotes)

It isn't easy to read such a graphical representation.  However, the IR signal sent by the PACE Digital Receiver DC 220 KKD is shown in this thread.

It is the IR protocol referred to as CanalSat, which is Manchester encoded.  Note that most bi-phase protocols don't employ a leadin, but do use a start pulse.  In IRP format CanalSat is {55.5k,250,msb}<-1,1|1,-1>(T=0,(1:1,D:7,S:6,T:1,0:1,F:7,-89m,T=1)+)
We have 1 bit of start pulse, 7 bits of device, 6 bits of subdevice, 1 bit of toggle, 1 separator bit and 7 bits of function code.  That makes 23 bits.

I read your recorded signal as D=23, S= 0, T = 1, F= 2.  The signals in the linked thread are 23.0 function 22 and 9.  Since your T bit is a 1, this is the repeating part of the signal.  Only the first frame will have T = 0.  CanalSat is usually 56KHz.

I used IRScope to decode the Pronto Hex from the linked thread. You could use IrMaster to generate Pronto Hex of candidate IR signals, and import them into IRScope to see a graphical representation and compare it to your captures.  (You'd need to reverse the bit definition from <-1,1|1,-1> to <1,-1|-1,1> to get the same signal polarity as your recorded signal.)

Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction. You are a genius ;-)

Is CanalSat the same as or similar to the "Ruwido R-step 56khz IR protocol"?

It looks like it is the same.   If the origin of an IR protocol isn't known, the user community usually has to guess at the original designer's meaning of the bits, and it frequently ends up being named the brand of the first pieces of equipment it is seen in.
