1 Introduction
Welcome to Kramer Electronics (since 1981): a world of unique, creative and
affordable solutions to the infinite range of problems that confront the video,
audio and presentation professional on a daily basis. In recent years, we have
redesigned and upgraded most of our line, making the best even better! Our
350-plus different models now appear in 8 Groups
1
, which are clearly defined
by function.
Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer IR-1 or IR-1-01 Infra-Red
Remote Control Device, which is ideal for video and audio studio remote
control applications, and for remote control of presentations using K ramer
switchers and matrices. The package includes the following items:
• IR-1 or IR-1-01 Remote Co ntrol Transmitter
2
• This user manual
3
and the Kramer concise product catalog/CD
Most Kramer switchers include a built-in front panel remote receiver. When
there is no built-in remote receiver, use
4
an external remote receiver5.
The high performance Kramer IR-1-01 is an upgrade of the popular IR-1,
with additional functionality that lets you route up to 96 x 96 inputs/outputs,
as well as store/recall up to 99 configuration setups with some of our
switchers (for the complete list, see Group 20 in Table 2).
2 Getting Started
We recommend that you:
• Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging
materials for possible future shipment
• Review the contents of this user manual
• Use Kramer high performance high resolution cables

GROUP 6: Accessories and Rack Adapters; GROUP 7: Scan Converters and Scalers; and GROUP 8: Cables and Connectors
2 The required AA size regular 1.5V battery is supplied
3 Download up-to-date Kramer user manuals from the Internet at this URL: http://www.kramerelectronics.com/manuals.html
4 For example, when ordering an IR-1-01 remote control transmitter, order an external re mote receiver to control Kramer
switchers—such as the VS-1002, VS-1202, VS-1602, and VS-1604—that have no built-in remote receiver
5 It includes an attached RS-232 cable with a DB9 connector, and comes with a 12V DC power adapter

3 Overview
The IR-1 and the IR-1-01 can operate any Kramer RS-232 controlled
switcher or matrix that is listed in Table 2. Both the IR-1 and the IR-1-01:
• Have their own hand held wireless re mote contr ol transmitter
1
that
includes the protocols of all Kramer devices and is programmable to control
any Kramer machine (see Figure 1)
• Transmit to an identical remote receiver, either built-in (see Figure 2) or
external (see Figure 3). The remote receiver includes non-volatile memory that
retains the last setting, even after the power supply is interrupted
Achieving the best performance means:
• Pointing the remote control transmitter directly at the remote receiver
(whether built-in or external)
• Making sure that nothing blocks the pa t h of the infr a-red beam
2
• Connecting only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding
interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated
noise levels
• Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may
adversely influence signal quality
1 Both the IR-1 and IR-1-01 remote control transmitter deliver instantaneous results and have a range of up to 15 meters
2 For example, do not place a group of switchers in front of the remote receiver. This may prevent it from receiving signals
from the remote control transmitter

1 Items 17, 18, and 19 of the IR-1-01 remote control transmitter let you route up to 96 x 96 inputs/outputs, as well as
store/recall up to 99 configuration setups with some of our advanced switchers (for the complete list, see Group 20 in Table 2)
