Global Caché IP2IR iTach TCP/IP to IR Converter – Connect Up To 3 IR Devices Over Ethernet

Overview

Meet the Global Caché IP2IR iTach TCP/IP to IR Converter, a compact bridge that brings traditional infrared devices onto an IP network. Through the device’s 3.5mm stereo jacks, you can connect up to three infrared appliances and orchestrate them from anywhere on your network.

Flexible, cross-device control

Whether you're streaming a movie, turning on a satellite receiver, or powering a connected home theater, IP2IR acts as a reliable conduit. By centralizing IR control over Ethernet, you can monitor and operate your infrared equipment with compatible control software or apps.

• Connects up to three infrared devices via easy-to-access 3.5mm jacks.
• Remotely access and control IP-enabled devices using your existing control software or mobile apps.
• Open-network design works with PC-based software, iPhone/iPad apps, Android apps, and other monitoring systems.
• Integrated web server supports TCP, HTTP, and DHCP standards for straightforward configuration.
• Firmware upgrades are supported, ensuring future compatibility and feature enhancements.

Simple setup and future-proofing

Unlike some bespoke controllers, IP2IR emphasizes a practical setup flow. Use the iHelp Setup Utility Software to define commands and behavior via TCP/IP. The flash-upgradeable design means the module can evolve with your needs.

• Web-based configuration reduces setup steps and provides direct access from any networked device.
• Firmware can be updated to address evolving IR control standards and feature requests.

Real-world scenarios

Imagine grouping your DVD player, cable box, and audio receiver under one IP-enabled umbrella, then triggering their power and input states from a central home automation dashboard. The IP2IR lets you think in terms of scenes and schedules rather than device-specific remotes.
