HDX: Secondary IR receivers?

[Anonymous]

Is there an official secondary IR receiver add-on product for the Polycom HDX 4000 series?

Sometimes it is not easy or even possible to face the EagleEye camera front to control the system.

Yes, I am aware of generic IR repeaters for home entertainment automation use. I'm looking for something possibly better and more integrated, than an emitter glued to the front of the EagleEye.

What is the use case where the HDX 4000 is being used where the touch controller is not being used?  I am interested in that, and you can respond to that inquiry in a private message.

From a previous note I have:

They would need a powered “38kHz demodulated” IR receiver attached to pin 9 (signal) and pin 5 (ground) on the serial port.

This is not an “off the shelf” item.  TSOP4838 is a Vishay component from which one could “build” a 38kHz demodulated IR receiver
