Put some REAL power behind
your HTPC with AIVMS IR!
The AIVMS infrared control
module turns your AIVMS system into a universal learning
remote control. The module currently supports usb-uirt
hardware with v1.4
driver installed. AIVMS IR seamlessly integrates with the AIVMS task system. Simply add an event, press a button on your remote
control to learn the button, and specify the action to take
place when the button is pressed. Easily import Pronto
IR component configuration files for nearly any piece of
AV equipment. We also have remote control definition
files to save you a little time, you can download them from right
here.
The
actions you specify for an IR event
can command HD RadioPC, AIVMS Home
Automation,
External Phidgets Relays, AIVMS Macros and PC activities such
as mouse cursor and button control, and ANY multimedia app
such as Winamp, WMP, MPC, etc.. Remap any infrared remote to
control equipment it was never designed for. Perfect for any
watch that can send IR signals.
Intelligent
Actions.
Commands such as PLAY, PAUSE, STOP, NEXT, and many more, use
AIVMS intelligent actions.
No matter what application you are using (Winamp, WMP, MPC,
etc.) or AV component (DVD, Cable, Sat, DVR, etc.) you are
watching, the correct command for the media app or AV device will be
issued automatically. For example, simply map an IR
remote control button to an AIVMS CMD action (e.g. CMD PAUSE)
using AIVMS tasks, and whenever you press that remote button
the current media application or AV device will be
paused. This extends the functionality of any smaller
limited remote to a whole new level, as a single remote button
can have 100's of separate "intelligent" actions for
the single IR signal it sends out, enabling it to control all
your media applications as well as every AV device you
use. You never have to fumble for a device specific
remote again, as one single remote control (even an IR
capable watch) will be all you'll ever need.
Create desktop shortcuts that send IR signals.
Your family no longer has to struggle with a complicated and
expensive HTPC front end. Any number of AIVMS task
actions can be issued with a single desktop shortcut. Even the
youngest child knows how to click on a desktop shortcut now,
so the learning curve is 0. A single click of an AIVMS
desktop shortcut can change to a specific AV device such as
your cable box on HDMI1, tune to the desired channel, set
other device options such as volume, sleep timer, channel
lock, etc., dim the lighting to a specified level, open
powered blinds or drapes, and the list goes on!
Network
IR Remote Control
AIVMS Tasks integrates with AIVMS IR for seamless network
control of IR commands using AIVMS Client software from
anywhere an internet or network connection is available.
You can command devices such as your IR capable air
conditioner from anywhere you happen to be. If you
decide to leave the office early you simply command your home
air conditioning system from your office PC to obtain a
perfect environment before you arrive. That same control
flexibility applies to any PC on your home network.
Appliance control flexibility such as this becomes
increasingly more important with today's rising energy costs,
and you can take advantage of the fact that many new
appliances such as air conditioners are controllable by IR
signals.
Control your AV system
with any multi-button mouse.
Intelligent actions and conditional states can turn your mouse
functions (buttons/scroll wheels) or keyboard keys
into a nearly unlimited IR control system. Everything
from simply changing channels or volume to extremely
complicated onscreen menu navigation can be achieved with a just
few mouse functions.
Titantv integration enables one
click viewing for any device with a TV tuner, and one click
recording using any DVR capable cable TV or satellite TV set
top box.
You no longer have to be frustrated by slow and hard to
navigate cable or sat box content menu's. Nearly everyone
has tried to go from something like channel 665 to channel 5
on a cable box menu just to see what's on, with an
excruciating amount of remote button presses to get
there. Now you can select from hundreds of different
channels just as fast as you can navigate a web page and click
on a link. Titantv has extended program descriptions and a
very useful rating system to help you select the very best
content to view. You can limit it to only display your
favorite channels, so you need not be inundated with all those
garbage channels that are so conveniently included with your
cable or sat TV package as well as those you don't even
subscribe to.
AIVMS IR requires a
working installation of AIVMS and IR transceiver hardware.
