The IR Flux Capacitor allows you to add IR to any Just Add Power system. It uses the RS232 serial port on the transmitter or receiver. This requires a JAD Configed system and a static route on the router.
- An RS232 to IR converter that allows for full IR control of integrated sources and displays in any 2G/2G+ or 3G Just Add Power HDMI over IP install.
- Compatible with all Just Add Power transmitters and receivers with RS232 serial ports.
- Each IR dongle comes with a Y cable (DC Male, DC Female, USB-A Female) It is a USB power tap. You connect it to the DC5V port on any Just Add Power device and it will direct 5V to the USB port.
- When using with 2G devices, an extra component is necessary for use which is shipped with the dongle.
Just Add Power Flux Capacitor for Control4
Driver Information
The Just Add Power Flux Capacitor allows you to convert IR Signals to IP and emit them out of any JAP device that has a Flux module plugged into its serial port.
Requirements
- JAP Flux Capacitor VBS-HDMI-IRD
- L3 Static Route enabled on the router
- Control4 IR TV Driver
J+P Receiver Setup
IMPORTANT! If the static route does not work this will not work
The JAP receivers only typically require 1 setting to be changed.
Log into the JAP device by going to its IP address with your browser then selct the Functions Tab and scroll down to Serial over IP
Select CLI Access and then Apply.
Then go to the System Tab at the top Then Utilities then click Reboot
This is the default pin lay out on the bottom of the JAP receiver. You must move both pins down for the IR Flux too work.
This is how the pins should look after you move both of them down.
Hooking up the flux
Some Flux Kits come with a power converter cable which allows you to use the 5V DC plug on the JAP receiver (when powered via POE) to power the Flux. Others may require the 5V Power supply that is included.
Here are some example hook up pictures
Driver Setup
IMPORTANT! If the static route does not work this will not work
Search in Composers Online database for Global Cache. You will find the GC Universal Driver
When you install the driver you will see it says Driver Initialized. There are no bindings on the driver just yet. Next you need to enter an IP address for the driver. Go to Connections – Network
Enter the Just Add Power transmitter or receiver IP address here. Example: 192.168.200.130. If you type this into your web browser and a web page does not load then this WILL NOT WORK. You need to check your static route settings.
Now you can see the driver is working and talking to the Just Add Power device.
Under Connections click on the GC Universal driver. Youll now have IR bindings. Connect this to the TV or IR device you are wanting to control.
And thats it! You are done!
