WHAT is IR?

1. Audio Transmission via infrared light

2. Audio path similar to RF


How is IR like FM

• FM uses RF waves to transmit audio – just like a radio station– The audio rides on a wave -just like a surfer

• IR uses IR light waves to transmit audio – it’s just like RF


Audio Path

• Audio Source -> Transmitter -> Radiator -> Receiver


How the System Works - Transmitter

• Audio signals are received at the LT-82 transmitter.

• The transmitter processes the audio and creates a single RF carrier from 2.3 to 3.8mHz.

• This carrier is delivered to the radiator using coaxial cable along with DC power using CAT-5 cable to power the radiator.


How the System Works - Radiator

• The radiator then modulates 84 Infrared emitting diodes (IRED).

• The diodes work like a headlight to fill the room with IR light.
