IR eye for beoport

18 replies
I have 2 pcs of IR-eye. The have no cabel attached so I don't know what type they are.

Both mine has a print on inside on the circuit board that is "DPD 9405"
On has 6 connectors (grouped ••  ••  ••) and one has 5 connecters (grouped •••••).

Will any of these work with the beoport?
Are they both the same, only from different age/versions

Hello Ola, this is the 2006 IR-eye model which is perfectly working with my Beoport:

Good luck. 

Yes, I found this sketch to. One of mine looks like this while my other doesn't have al five connectors i a row (ooooo). The other one is gouped in three pair of two (oo  oo  oo) 

Are the the same? Same inscription on the PCB.

I have no idea at all about PCB's similarity question,
but answering your another question: "Will any of these work with the beoport?", the IR model I've show you, works perfectly well with beoport, as already said before.

Greetings. 

Instead of looking at the PCB, you should look at the front.  The "BeoPort" IR has only up and down arrows while the Link Room IR has up, down and timer.

Thanks Santiago!

I've now tried both of them and I just cant get it to work.
Do you use it for Front Row or just as a Link room IR-eye?

You're welcome Ola, 

I use that IR-eye to full control Beoport (and the BL4s powerlink connected) with beo4 in my linked office (the computer room) using PC Beoplayer, and I've connected myself the 3 wires using the diagram I've scanned for you. 

However, I know that it also works very well to control frontrow and itunes in a Mac.

 

@ Stan,

Not always! because mine has not any arrows, in fact it has not any symbols at all in the front buttons, because they are all internally unconnected, and only the IR sensor works.

Same for me, both of mine has power/timer/volume buttons on the front.
Maybe these will never work with beoport... :-(

I think I have to buy a new one made for beoport.

There are defintely 2 different models.  The BeoPort IR is/was also used with the BeoSystem2.  I remember this well because the dealer and I went "around and around" with this when I originally bought my PC2.  The dealer claimed there was no IR for the PC2 (showing the the difference in connection between the "standard" IR connector and the PC2 port), and I begged to differ (showing diagrams from the manual and web site).  Finally, a call to the "technical guru" solved the problem: it has the same part number as the BeoSystem2 IR.  

Also, I just looked carefully at them both, and the BeoPort IR actually has no arrows.  It has 2 unlabled buttons.  The standard IR has 4 labled buttons (timer, up, down and play).
