The Xantech Hiddenlink kits are ideal for controlling 2 or more pieces of
IR-controlled equipment
located in a cupboard. The HiddenLink package is like the Xantech MicroLink but uses
a small shelf mounted IR receiver rather than a surface mount unit. Like the MicroLink, the Xantech Hiddenlink is not designed to be
used with plasma screens, which 'drown out' the IR signals you are sending with the emitted IR from the plasma display.
If you have a situation where the IR from a plasma may affect the IR relay system then we can make up a kit similar to the standard HiddenLink
but using a plasma friendly IR receiver.

NB: Passing IR around your house
is a critical part of distributed entertainment, but it can be quite problematic
because it is also emitted by sun light. Careful location and correct
choice of quality components can make a major difference to the success of your system.
