RE: So cool!

["Rob Mouser" <rmouser@xxxxxxx>]

Pretty much as Paul's post but perhaps less featured.

I want to do two things.

Have non-zoned IR from my lounge IR Receiver to the Easy6 (I don't need
zoning in that room as all functions are controlled via the AV Amp) (i.e
The IR signal received in the lounge is transmitted across all IR
outputs on the Easy6, the solution from Speakercraft was in my previous
post.)

But on from that I would like to control each zone from within c-bus. I
can achieve this in various ways (i.e Comfort and Ace or using the c-bus
IR senders.) but I would want the senders for each zone to be at node
zero so in effect I need a way of inserting the IR signal in between the
Easy 6 and the Xantech receivers.

The laymans way of achieving this would be six receivers in node zero
each linked to a zone on the Easy 6 and then 6 transmitters pointing at
the receivers but that would be one messy set up. I'm sure there must be
a way to do it without physically producing an IR output.

Am I making sence?

Many thanks
