Global Cache GCIRE IR Extender

Make infrared remotes a reliable input method for networked control and monitoring. The Global Cache GCIRE IR Extender converts IR commands into serial ASCII so security, surveillance and AV systems can treat IR events as digital triggers. Designed for installers and integrators, the GCIRE connects to any Global Cache, Xantech or SpeakerCraft IR receiver via a 3.5mm jack and outputs clean ASCII over an RS232 DB9 port—this serial link also supplies power, eliminating the need for an external adapter. With intelligent filtering and an IR noise measurement mode, the device samples modulation frequencies from 20 KHz to 500 KHz and rejects background interference to reduce false triggers in busy monitoring environments. Visible IR emission provides quick feedback during setup, and two-way serial communication allows on-site configuration and IR output. Ideal for access control, CCTV integrations, environmental monitoring, and AV automation, the Global Cache GCIRE streamlines deployments where reliable IR-to-network translation is critical. Add the GCIRE to your next installation to simplify IR-based control and improve system responsiveness.
