I am also looking to send ir codes via RS-232.
I see that that this is not simple and i have a lot of learning ahead of me.
I need to control multiple AV devices via computer. I currently have control via RS-232 for (2) Tascam CD Players, Denon DA-7100 Surround Preamplifie, Christie Roadster 12K projector and more... I use usb to (8) serial port adapter. I also have
AMX AXB-IRS4 Serial to IR box. Looking to control (2) Icecrypt Satellite Receiver STC6000 HD PVR and Sony BDP-S360 Blu Ray Player both of which are IR only.
Am I on the right track? What hardware/software should I look at? Thanks
The AMX IRS4 is not a serial to IR box.. it is an AMX proprietary IR output box that will only work with an AMX control system. If you are controlling via a computer you need to find some sort of 232 box such as the xantech piece listed above or there are LAN IR boxes on the market that you can load IR libraries into and then issue IR commands via IP commands to the box.
