  1. Remote Operated Audio/Video Switcher

  2. Team Members • Jordan Goulder, Leader • Joe Laszczak • Kian-Wah Chee • Dr. Harden, Advisor

  3. Problems With Current A/V Devices • Low Cost Switchers • Little crosstalk prevention • Manually switched • High-End Receivers • High cost • Large size

  4. Solution • Remote Controlled With Current Remote • Quality Output • Relatively Small • Reasonable Price

  5. Objectives - Design • IR FrequenciesRC5 and RECS 80 • Signal Loss<10 dB at 10 MHz • Min. Input Voltage.667 mV (40 dB) • Input Frequency20 Hz to 890 MHz • Crosstalk56 dB at 10MHz

  6. Objectives - Real World • Device Size3in x 4in x 1in • Cost $60 • Learning AbilityUser Programmable Remote Button • Reliability1 error per 1000 switches • FCC ComplianceFCC Code Part 15

  7. Recent Redesign Issues • Added Functionality a. Option to assign random input assignments b. Increment or Decrement • Decrease Device Size

  8. Infrared Receiver Status LED’s Learn/Reset Button Input Selector Buttons Remote Switcher User Interface

  9. 1 2 3 4 X Controller 4:1 Audio/Video Multiplexer 4 RI 1-4 L/R Infrared Signal Internal Design

  10. Major Design Issues • Correctly identifying RECS 80 and RC 5 infrared data transmission schemes • Effectively implement the functionality of the switching device through the controller • Minimize interference while maintaining small device dimensions

  11.

  12. IR Demodulator - Output

  13. IR Demodulator - Output

  14. Crosstalk- Measured Results and Comparisons

  15. Loss – Broadcast Frequencies

  16. Software Testing

  17. Power Consumption

  18. Cost of Major Components

  19. End of Semester Achievements • Successful programming of functionality • Successful infrared detection and decoding • Successful interaction of controller with RF components

  20. Design Problems • Undesired RF penetration through multiplexer • Breadboard capacitance severely increase crosstalk potential • Undesired loss at low RF frequencies

  21. Design Solutions • Change the switching method from 4 input mulitplexer to independent path feeding • Use PCB to eliminate board capacitance • Use high speed low noise op-amps to amplify low frequency broadcast channels

  22. Prototype
