Universal IR code database
A universal IR code database refers to a library of infrared
codes built-in to a particular remote. This feature allows
a remote to control your equipment without needing to
learn individual signals. Select the correct infrared code
sets in the database for the devices you want to control,
to enable control of virtually every audio/video system
element on the market today – regardless of model or
brand.
Learning functionality
Learning functionality refers to the process through which
a remote control captures and stores infrared signals
from other remotes for later use. When device codes are
not included in the on-board database, they can always
be learned from the original remote, simply by pointing to
it.
Radio frequency
A radio technology that allows you to control components
not in direct line-of-sight, such as through walls or other
obstacles. There are two types of RF used in remote
controls: RF to component, and RF to infrared.
Future proof
To keep your device up to date and enhance its
functionality you can download new softwares that
become available. Connect the device to the Internet,
either directly or through a PC, and launch the upgrade
utility.
High-contrast display
High-contrast monochrome display includes special
technology to increase light output and contrast ratio.
Instead of traditional electrofoil backlighting, LEDs are
used to offer much higher light output. Contrast is
enhanced because of white backlight instead of the
traditional green backlight color. This results in much
improved readibility of the screen.
One-touch convenience
One-touch control allows you to perform multiple
commands with one press of a button via a macro. A
macro combines a string of pre-programmed commands
under one single button. Therefore, it simply takes one
button press to execute a series of functions.
PC software included
PC software is included in the box to customize the user
interface of the remote i.e. to create your own screens
and define a personal look. After installing the software,
and creating your user interface, download it to the
remote either via RS232, USB or wirelessly.
Backlight on screen
Backlighting is a feature that illuminates the LCD screen
or keypad for use in the dark. The two most common
types of backlighting include LED and electroluminescent
(EL). Remotes backlit with LEDs are typically bright but
uneven with a yellow or green color, while EL panels are
smooth with blue, white or green shades.
Cursor keys
Memory backup
All settings and learned codes are stored in non-volatile
memory which does not need power to function and store
codes and settings.

level.
