I was going to install my Ocelot at my church to be the brains behind my "idiot resistant" theater there. I got the Ocelot all programmed, and hooked up a single emitter to the Ocelot that was connected to the projector. That worked fine. So I put in my Y-Adapter to split the signal two ways, one to the projector, and one to a dual emitter that does to the DVD player and AV Receiver.
However, when I tried that, it didn't work. The emitter on the projector still blinked, but the two I just plugged in didn't. I unplugged the one going to the projector, and lo and behold, the dual emitter started working.
I beleive that the Ocelot is not outputting enough power to drive 3 blinking IR emitters. I know I could get a SECU-16IR, but I don't want to spend that kind of $$$ unless I have to.
Do you have any recomendations (DIY or to buy) on what I could use to give the signal coming out of my Ocelot a boost?
