The Fisheye IR Receiver is intended to be used with a BlastIR Pro. The BlastIR Pro supports three receiver inputs. This way you can control your devices from multiple locations.
Clean home theater set-ups (especially set-ups with wall-mounted HDTVs) can require you to store your video equipment (like Blu-Ray players, DVD players, TIVOs, etc.) in a remote place like a closet or another room. Since your remote controls require line-of-sight to control your equipment, you won't be able to use them unless you can send the remote signal which is an infrared (or IR) signal to your equipment with a wired extender.
This IR Receiver is used in tandem with any combination of different IR Emitters and the BlastIR Pro. The receiver is inserted in the wall or cabinet near your TV. If you're looking to expand your already existing setup then this is what you're looking for. If you're starting from square one, check out our IR Reciever Kits.
