Is there a way to reduce the range / effect of a ir based remote
control.
I work for a Pay tv company and we have many set top boxes on our
desks for testing and monitoring. I find that as the STBs and remotes
are designed to work across many metres, we suffer from reflection. IR
bouncing all over the place. The STBs are usually controlled within
10-20 cm of the remote. So I am hoping to filter, attenuate or
something the IR from the remote. When I have a solution, I will
implement it in all remotes in the office.
I have heard of placing colour plastic or paper in the remote,
experiments have not been very successful.
I am more than happy to modify the remote by adding a resister in
series. I can get access to both legs of the LED rather easily without
pulling it all apart.
Ideas, thoughts, suggestions?
