Transporter is equipped with an infrared input for control from other systems (IR repeaters,
home automation controllers with IR blasters, etc.) Transporter will respond to signals on this
input identically to signals received via the IR receiver on the front panel and can be directly
connected to IR transmitter devices via a 3.5mm to 3.5mm mono cable as if connecting to an
IR LED dongle.
Transporter also has an infrared output for the Transporter to control other interfaces, for
instance turning on a receiver or preamp and setting the receiver to a particular input
