The <Frequency> field is the carrier frequency and the <Pulse n> field is the IR pulse. An IR If the I/O port 2 of a KD-CX800 is configured for KeyCode Open API mode and the above data is received on TCP port 4582, the device will send that IR burst to I/O port 2 with Pulse is started with the on duration and the pause duration until the next pulse.
All 3 ports share the same resources for IR burst generation. If more than one port is › configured for IR Emitter Mode, the data received will be queued by KD-CX800. The device will then check the data buffer and generate the burst one by one. The receive Technical: buffer size of each I/O port is 1024 bytes.
