IR Trainer

Infra-Red (IR) Trainer adapts the RPM system to the STBs used for dial number and script dialing. This is done through the IR codes files. If one is not available for a given Set Top Box (STB), it can be created by training the RPM with the STB’s Remote Control (R/C). You will need to have a set top box and a means of viewing its video for verification. If a monitor is not available, use “Preview” (described in the Observer Admin Guide).

Training requires that the IR transceivers be attached to the Observer pointing at the STB. As the Encoder service and the IR Trainer share the IR devices, to avoid IO conflict, before running the IR Trainer stop the scanning process by placing the scanners in manual mode. Another way is to stop and disable the Observer encoder service. It is disabled on the probe server in Device manager → Services.
