What's the benefit of the infrared (IR) channel?

The IR scan detects any dust or scratches, and then the software subtracts those defects from the image and replaces them with pixels that match the surrounding area. It won't fix everything, and you should still use good practices to clean the film, but it will make your scans look much cleaner.

Slides and negatives will pass IR light, but dust and scratches will clearly show up. Then, the software uses that mask to "heal" whatever is visible in IR, mising the surrounding colors to render the dust and scratches invisible.That is why IR scanning is the way to go. It is a very powerful tool and I wouldn't want to scan batch of slides without it. Of course, you always want to use a can of air to carefully blast most dust away, but you won't get it all. If you are scanning 3 or 4 slides for large reproduction, you may want to take hours and do it all by hand, but if you are scanning 10 or 100 slides, IR will do most of the work for you and produce amazing results. usually out of 10, one or two may need a brief touchup if I'm being very picky. Always use a slide/negative scanner with ICE (or equivilent) and IR scanning.

i believe direct TV uses radio signals not infrared, but i could be wrong. some boxes you can turn on IR to use both as well, call Direct TV or order this, try it, and if it doesnt work, return it..

Image quality is great on this camera. If you put the model into YouTube you can see feeds from people that are using itI did return mine however. I needed infrared for night time. If you only need a camera without IR, great choice for the cost

There is no IR receiver that I know of or see. Remote capability is via Z-wave communication.

There is no IR window. I just use the wired IR receivers since I have the computer buried behind the TV anyway.

Not sure - there could be problems with the infrared sensor - a good question for the manufacturer.

I don't, but I can tell you that it seems to faithfully receive and reproduce IR signals, and has been very reliable. Sorry I can't be more specific to your situation.

Not positive but they don't have different channels so it might be difficult to do, they connect via IR signal.

Yes, that is true: you will see a red light reflection on the window. Keep in mind that although this device is a GREAT deal for the price, it is essentially the lowest quality IR device you can buy that's not a toy. High end IR devices can cost thousands of dollars so this is the lowest priced one you can find that really works!

It works from all sides, as it's wireless, not infrared.......Try the RC6. There's a bunch of video on youtube.

Yeah, I wonder too. It's great that the remote has IR to operate your other components, but how about operating the TV with an IR remote.

no, typical a unit such as DVD/TV/Receiver receives a IR signal from a remote. This is used to connect to a unit that sends a signal such that it mimics the IR from a remote thus changing channels etc. This would also connect to an IR repeater to let you hide your IR devices which are line of sight behind a curtain or door.

No it is infrared so only if you are looking at the camera will you even see the red lights glow but not noticeably. We have used it very successfully for several months now and it helped us catch a raccoon visiting our back porch nightly!! He never looked at the camera even when it was taking his picture!

There is a sensor for learning ir commands but no pass through. Maybe possible to route an ir output to a PC using software. See info at:https://globalcache.zendesk.com/entries/20359832-IP2IR-Sensor-IN-what-purpose-

You got me on that one. I know what is done to make a camera into a infrared camera, bit I cannot perform the task myself. I would bet that YouTube has lots of videos on the process.

No, not IR only. You can test the camera shots in IR. You can set it up for motion, which will capture IR or daylight.

The IR leds on mine are not visible at all, however, the camera's on/off and mode indicator LEDs on the back are SUPER intense. These LEDs shine through a slit in the camera body, so that you can see them to know what mode you're in, but in a pitch black room you can see them project across a room!
