CSX BIR10
10 CHANNEL INFRARED CONTROL UNIT AND CS5 BREAKOUT BOX
FULL CONTROL FOR INFRARED TRANSMISSION
The CSX BIR10 is the infrared central control unit for the CSX IRS10 infrared language distribution
system, the core element that provides the utmost security for wireless translation systems.
The system is designed to operate in two modes, both feeding up to 10 channels. First, the CSX BIR10
can be used as part of AKG´s CS5 system. In this mode the unit acts as infrared modulator and/or as
breakout box to provide channels of the CS5 data ring to external devices via RCA connectors on the
back panel. Second, as a stand alone IR system, to feed external devices (e.g. a wireless system) These
signals cannot NOT be fed into a CS5 data ring.
It is also possible to mix inputs – take a few external sources and a few from the CS5 data ring. 4 BNC
connectors are used for 4 strings of radiators that can be daisy chained. Four IR LED´s provide the
infrared signal in the technician room to enable the technician to control what is transmitted in the venue
hall. The CSX BIR10 is easily expandable to handle virtually any size room.
