Global Caché Flex Blaster VS IR emitter?

This discussion is 13 years old. It predates today's Roomie Remote X, and the app names, menus, features, pricing, and device details below have changed substantially since 2013. Treat it as historical reference — see Support and current compatibility for how things work today.

In short

I'm confused, is the blaster simply a stronger version than the IR emitter ? the description is very vague about the reason why someone would choose one over the other

This page has a diagram that may be helpful:\r \r store.roomieremote.com/itach-ip2ir/\r \r The blaster addresses many devices in a line of sight area of around 20 feet. An emitter addresses 1 device via direct attachment to that device. Note in the diagram example how 1 emitter is attached directly to the TV and the blaster meanwhile is used to control multiple components in a cabinet.\r \r Thank you.
