USB UIRT  


USB-UIRT (Universal Infrared Receiver/Transmitter) allows any USB-equipped PC to Transmit and Receive Infrared signals to common AV equipment, or any device that uses an IR remote.


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).

Features:

IR Reception

  • 34-40KHz Frequency Range
  • UIR-compatible Receiver Mode
  • >8 Meter Sensitivity
  • IR Wavelength Filtered
  • USB Wake-from-Standby Capability
  • Built-in wideband IR detector for accurate Learning, including carrier frequency.
  • USB Wake-from-Standby Capability
IR Transmission
  • 20-60KHz Frequency Range
  • Two (2) built-in High-Power Emitters
  • 1/8" Mini-Jack for External Emitters
  • UIRT-compatible Struct and Raw modes
  • Extended-length code support in hardware (up to 96burst-pairs)
  • Max-length burst code support in driver (up to 2048 burst-pairs)
USB Interface
  • Fully Plug-and-Play
  • Driver Support for Win98, WinME, Win2K, and WinXP
  • USB-powered
Software
  • Girder (3.2 or higher) Plugin
  • Developer API for simple integration into other products
  • Flash-Upgradable Firmware
Dimensions
  • 2.4"W x 1.5"D x 0.7"H

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.
