Overview

MaxColor Transmitters and Receivers have a native IR output. The IR output is always enabled.

Requirements

MaxColor devices must be on firmware MAX V3.7.1 or later
Early productions of MaxColor - QC sticker May 2022 or earlier - have a hardware limitation that prevents IR from working. Please reach out to Support if you have a MaxColor piece that was manufactured in May 2022 or earlier and need to use IR.

IR Emitter

MaxColor supports both stereo and mono IR emitters.
IR emitter not included.

Programming

IR is enabled by default. In general, IR follows Global Cache standards for IR transmission

To send IR commands to a MaxColor device:

• Open a telnet connection to the IP of the MaxColor device at port 4998
• Send Pronto, GC, or GC Compressed formatted IR codes
• Append each command with a carriage return: \r
  • Example: 0000 006D 0000 0022 00ac 00ac 0016 0040 0016 0040 0016 0040 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0040 0016 0040 0016 0040 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0040 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0040 0016 0040 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0040 0016 0015 0016 0040 0016 0040 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0040 0016 0040 0016 0015 0016 071c\r

When sending IR through a control system that supports IR, follow the instructions for the driver.
