It outputs IR codes as comma-delimited ASCII text, enabling seamless conversion and playback across Global Caché iTach network adapters. Powered directly through the serial port, it requires no external power supply, making it an efficient tool for home automation pros to build and manage IR command databases and control AV devices remotely. ## Description Global Caché GC-IRL IR LearnerEasily plug in the Global Caché GC-IRL IR Learner to a standard RS232 serial port of any computer and use it to learn IR codes to control infrared-driven AV equipment. The GC-IRL transmits infrared signals as Comma-delimited ASCII text string with a terminator. The ASCII structure simplifies IR recording and playback.Right out of the box, the GC-IRL is set to set to 9600 baud, 8 bits, one stop, no parity, and no flow control. It utilizes a female DB9 connector to link directly to Global Caché GC-100 network adapters or RS232 serial ports.The GC-IRL comes with an IR Learner Utility CD that captures and converts the learned codes into other GC-IRL formats. You can use the IR Learner with the complete iTach line. With the GC-IRL's stored codes, you're able to control IR devices from any PC over the network.TECHNICAL SPECS:Baud Rate: 9600IR Frequency Range: 30~500kHzOther: No parity, one stop bitFlow Control: NoneConnector: Female DB9 DTE format; 3.5mm stereo jack for IR Sensor InputPower Source (Not Included): 8~25V at 5mA, supplied by RTS Pin 7Encoding: Comma delimited ASCII text string with termination characterCompatibility: Global Caché iTach models WF2IR, IP2IR, IP2IR-P, WF2SL, IP2SL, IP2SL-P, WF2CC, IP2CC, IP2CC-PWhat's in the Box?GC-IRL IR Learner UnitIR Learner Utility CDInstruction Manual Review: Works well - Works well Review: Pricey for what it is but it works - Selling an IR receiver built into a serial port plug sold for almost $100 seems a bit ridiculous. I think every GC device should have an IR receiver that works with one of its ports in receive mode and the learning function should be baked in. The measured codes differ from what is in the "Control Tower" database for the same device, yet they seem to work also, albeit slightly less reliably. I was unsuccessful in converting IR codes recorded on a Flipper Zero to the correct format to replay from the GC-100 so this was the only path forward. I was able to find the codes using the GC-IRL and later found compatible ones from Control Tower that work better than the ones recorded from the actual remote. An expensive lesson but now I have one if the future occasion requires I guess. ## Features - CAPTURES AND LEARNS IR CODES - The Global Caché GC-IRL allows your home automation installer to learn full IR code spectrum via a computer. It digitizes infrared signals/commands from remote controls. - OFFERS EASY SIGNAL CODING - The included IR Learner Utility CD learns IR commands and converts them into GC 100 or Hex CCF format. It auto copies the codes to a clipboard for quick database creation. - CONTROL IR DEVICES FROM A PC - The stored IR codes from GC-IRL can be used to manage infrared units over a network. It recreates infrared signals for playback by providing the necessary information. - PROVIDES EASY CONNECTIVITY - Simply plug the IR Learner into the standard RS232 serial port of any computer. - DOES NOT REQUIRE AN EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY - The IR Learner's power is supplied by RTS line of the RS232 serial port. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000R8KNE8 | | AV Output | IR | | Best Sellers Rank | #171,728 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #7,413 in Computer Networking (Electronics) | | Brand | Global Caché | | Built-In Media | IR Learner, Software CD | | Compatible Devices | Computers | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 31 Reviews | | Hardware Interface | Serial Interface | | Included Components | IR Learner, Software CD | | Item Dimensions | 7 x 5 x 2 inches | | Manufacturer | Global Caché | | Mfr Part Number | GC-IRL | | Minimum System Requirements | Standard RS232 serial port of any computer | | Model Name | GC-IRL | | Model Number | GC-IRL | | Other Special Features of the Product | IR Learning via Computer and Compatibility with Global Caché iTach Models | | Platform | Not Machine Specific | | Special Feature | IR Learning via Computer and Compatibility with Global Caché iTach Models | | UPC | 810466010112 798304063981 410000074398 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Global Caché - **Hardware Interface:** RS-MMC - **Model Name:** GC-IRL - **Platform:** Not Machine Specific - **Included Components:** IR Learner, Software CD ## Images ![GC-IRL IR Learner - Connects Smart Sensors and IR Remote Controllers to any Computer - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71rY0IU4J4L.jpg) ![GC-IRL IR Learner - Connects Smart Sensors and IR Remote Controllers to any Computer - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81E8JK+9AOL.jpg) ![GC-IRL IR Learner - Connects Smart Sensors and IR Remote Controllers to any Computer - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81OUCW-KBOL.jpg) ![GC-IRL IR Learner - Connects Smart Sensors and IR Remote Controllers to any Computer - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81gYsEXJFxL.jpg) ![GC-IRL IR Learner - Connects Smart Sensors and IR Remote Controllers to any Computer - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81sV9O6GX2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well *by R***E on March 11, 2021* Works well ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pricey for what it is but it works *by S***T on October 11, 2024* Selling an IR receiver built into a serial port plug sold for almost $100 seems a bit ridiculous.
