The Savant IRB-1006-00 is a six-pack of professional-grade infrared (IR) emitter wands designed for integration with Savant and Control4 home automation and professional AV control systems. These emitters serve as a critical link between a centralized control processor and legacy IR-controlled devices that lack IP or serial control capabilities. Each slender, flexible wand terminates in a small, powerful IR LED that can be positioned directly over the IR receiver window of a device, such as a cable box, DVD/Blu-ray player, audio receiver, or display. By capturing and relaying the IR command signals from the system's main controller, these emitters allow users to incorporate a wide range of non-smart equipment into a fully automated and unified control scheme, enabling seamless operation through a single remote, touch panel, or smartphone app.

The design of the IRB-1006-00 emphasizes reliability and installation flexibility. Each emitter wand is typically several feet long, allowing installers to route it discreetly behind cabinetry or within equipment racks to precisely position the LED for optimal signal transmission. The pack includes necessary accessories like adhesive-backed mounts and clips to secure the wands in place. The emitters are connected to a compatible IR output port on a Savant or Control4 controller (often via a terminal block or modular connector), which can power and control multiple emitters simultaneously. This setup provides a clean, centralized solution that eliminates the clutter and line-of-sight limitations of traditional handheld IR remotes, ensuring consistent and reliable control of hidden components.

For custom integrators and smart home technicians, this six-pack is a standard consumable for building robust control systems. It solves the common challenge of integrating essential but older AV components into a modern IP-based ecosystem, protecting the client's investment in existing gear. By using these emitters, integrators can ensure that every device in a media room or whole-house system responds to automated scenes and schedules—like turning on a system for movie night or switching inputs—creating a polished, professional user experience. The Savant IRB-1006-00 exemplifies the behind-the-scenes hardware that makes sophisticated home automation possible, providing the essential physical interface for digital control.
