Finally a viable IR remote control solution with a decent range. Thanks to PPcnewswire for the story!!
“Griffin Technology today announced Total Remote, the first complete solution for turning Pocket PCs into an all-in-one infrared remote controller. Total Remote allows your favorite Pocket PC to function as one master control for all your remote controlled devices. The product is being demonstrated for the first time at the Pocket PC Summit this week in Hollywood.
Total Remote’s unique Infrared Transmitter Module (ITM) allows you to control infrared devices from nearly 100 feet away. Designed specifically for Pocket PCs, it uses the audio port to send infrared commands to any device that can be controlled via IR. It’s patent-pending design gives users up to 3 times greater range than standard remotes. The Total Remote software can also support built in Infrared ports (IrDA) at shorter ranges.
Total Remote comes with preinstalled profiles for hundreds of devices such as TVs, VCRs, DVD players and more. Users can easily add additional devices by downloading new device profiles or creating their own in learning mode. Total Remote can sample commands from your existing remotes and creates “virtual” remotes that look and function the way you want. The program also provides a set of skins that enable you to change the remote control appearance any time. Additionally new skins can be custom made by a user or downloaded from the internet.
Total Remote works with Windows CE 3.0 and above on all ARM Pocket PCs. In addition, Total Remote is compatible with the new XScale™ Pocket PCs including HP/Compaq 3900 series, Toshiba E740, Viewsonics PCV35, Acer N-Series, and the Audiovox PDA1032. Trial software is available on request.”
