 Features - By David_W @May 01, 2008

USB-UIRT (Universal Infrared Receiver/Transmitter) allows any USB-equipped PC to Transmit and Receive Infrared signals to common AV equipment.


CONTROL YOUR AV EQUIPMENT FROM YOUR PC

The USB-UIRT combines the capability of other PC-based IR Receivers with a fully-featured IR Transmitter (sometimes referred to as a 'Blaster'). This allows your PC to not only receive codes from the remote controls you already have, but also to control your equipment (or any device with an IR receiver).

FLASH UPGRADABLE

The USB-UIRT's microcontroller is flash upgradable. As bug fixes/new features/enhancements are identified, the USB-UIRT can be easily upgraded by the user to incorporate new firmware.

PLUG and PLAY

The USB-UIRT is a Plug-N-Play USB Device. Simply plug it in to a Windows-based PC running Windows 98, ME, 2K, or XP and Windows will automatically prompt you for the driver disk.

GIRDER Plugin

The USB-UIRT was designed with Girder in mind. Girder is a professional-quality Windows Automation tool available here. It allows you to automate events (such a pressing the 'Play' button on your remote) and send commands (such as turning the Power ON on your VCR).

3rd-Party Software Support

Built-in USB-UIRT support for many applications is growing! Among the many applications now supporting the USB-UIRT are:

Developer API

A .dll/.so Library and associated API is being made available to developers to ease support of USB-UIRT into other products on Windows and Linux platforms. Contact support for details.

A Look Inside...

The USB-UIRT uses a microcontroller to handle all IR reception and transmission, thereby offloading this burden from your PC. IR data is then processed and exchanged with the host PC via a high-speed USB link.

Since my HTPC uses an RF remote, I wasn't able to control my IR tv and surround speakers with the HTPC remote. This device solved my problem. Using Girder, I learned IR remote codes, which I could then map to a key on my RF remote. As mentioned above, cheap external transmitters pick up EM interference which causes the USB-UIRT to stop responding until you unplug and plug it back in.      » READ MORE

I bought this to use with the HTPC I am building.       » READ MORE

This is a must have product if you're building a HTPC. Transmit distance is good. I use it to control a Cogeco digital cable box so my HTPC will change channels and record shows while I'm at work. Setup may be somewhat difficult for a first time user, but there is excellent help on the internet. You can also use this to control the pc with a remote.       » READ MORE
