The Multi-Channel Infrared Remote was designed specifically to operate the Multi-Mask Imager, Da-Lite's four-way masking screen. The MCIR involves three low voltage control units, which provide up, down and stop operation for each of the three masks.

The MCIR comes standard with one remote transmitter and with (3) three-button low voltage wall switches. The MCIR also allows a person to use a multi-purpose/functional IR remote with the Multi-Mask Imager, such as a Pronto remote.
