The Lightware 25G‑LAYER‑IR‑160 is a high-performance infrared (IR) extension and control module designed for integration into advanced AV signal-layer environments. Positioned as part of Lightware’s LAYER family, this IR engine enables long-range remote control of displays, projectors, and media devices over Cat or fiber infrastructure while preserving centralized control.
With robust IR emitter and receiver capabilities, the IR‑160 module supports both forward (TX) and return (RX) IR paths, offering full duplex remote command transmission. Ideal for high-end theatre, corporate boardroom, digital signage, and auditorium installations, it ensures seamless control of devices from distant locations inside the AV rack or control room.
Integrated into the Lightware signal management ecosystem, the module provides compatibility with control systems (e.g. RS‑232, IP control) and can be configured via Lightware's management software. Its modular design allows installers to mount it into compatible LAYER chassis or control infrastructure, maintaining system consistency and simplifying maintenance.
Whether you're centralising AV control or extending command functionality across multiple zones, the Lightware 25G‑LAYER‑IR‑160 offers flexible, reliable IR routing and signal management for modern AV systems.
