Can I use my iTach IP2IR as a local IR repeater and how do I configure it? I set Connector 1 to Sensor IN and set Connector 3 to IR Blaster. I pointed my remote to IR sensor connect to 1 and nothing happened?

Josh Sherman Sadly, there is no mechanism for only an iTach unit to capture the data necessary to create a repeater, which would also require some sort of software to script the transition between the receiving end and the sending side. If you are looking to repeat a code directly without software, we recommend using a Xantech type connecting block with a general purpose IR receiver (such as the GC-RG1), which will take all data captured from the receiver and automatically repeat the command through the connecting block outputs simultaneously without software.

Peter van Hengel This would be great, I would buy one today if it had this feature, unfortunatly I am going to keep looking for another solution.

Tim Meade Wow. I had hoped this was doable. We cannot use this solution with out the receiver side at all the TV's. Everything feeds to a closet. Please !

mathew fulton Would it be possible to generate software similar to Ilearn to enable the unit to act as a repeater? ie what is received on the sensor is transmitted on the blaster?

Josh Sherman AxisAV in Australia is working on this issue right now. The GC-IRE & GC-RG1 are used in order to capture the commands, and PC software captures the RS232 string from the GC-IRE via GC-100 or iTachSL then sends out the correctly formatted IR string to another GC unit (GC-100 or ITachIR). Contact Danny from AxisAV if you are interested: danny@axisav.com.au

sam if I have GC-100-6, GC-IRE, and GC-RG1, I can make it so both remote control and IP can do the control, right?

Josh Sherman Yes, you should be able to use both the remote and network based commands from control software to control your units so long as you set up your system properly.
