Control your Mac with your Apple Remote(s) |
|
Not only Front Row, but also iTunes, PowerPoint (tm), Keynote, QuickTime Player, VLC Player, ... You might not know that every Apple Remote is different, but iRed can distinguish up to 256 different Apple Remotes. You can dedicate one Apple Remote to iTunes, another one to iPhoto. You don't need to buy hundreds of these - any programmable remote may learn Apple Remote codes. |
| Control your HiFi/DVD/TV/Satellite devices, right from your Mac |  |
|
iRed was built with infrared in mind. In conjunction with a device like the IRTrans USB or LAN module, you can transmit IR codes to your devices. While sitting at your Mac, you can control your amplifier or switch channels on your satellite receiver with one click. With iRed's trigger features, it is even possible to use system-wide shortcuts, or you can use iRed's built-in timers for scheduled recordings! |
 |
All this and more from your iPhone or iPod Touch! |
|
Everything which can be controlled from the Mac, is now at your fingertips on the iPhone or iPod Touch. Control your HiFi/video devices, do your PowerPoint presentation, even send your Mac to sleep, all remotely from the sofa in your local WLAN or on-the-go via the Internet! No need for "jailbreaking" the iPhone, because the built-in Mobile Safari is enough to talk to iRed. A native iPhone application is available from the App Store, too! It's called iRedTouch. |
| Supported Modules |  |
|
If you want to control your TV, audio, DVD, ..., an infrared (IR) module is required. iRed was built for the IRTrans transceivers. These are available as USB or LAN modules, are small and have a sleek design. The infrared capabilities are very good, they can learn and transmit about every IR code. |

License, System Requirements, etc. |
|
iRed2 is shareware and costs $15 / 10 Euro, respectively. Licenses may be purchased securely via Kagi (under construction!) within minutes. If you want to add an IRTrans module, there is an additional license fee of $20 / 15 Euro per device. However, if you purchase an IRTrans, you'll get this license for free. Please ask for the Mac version when ordering an IRTrans from IRTrans GmbH. iRed 2 requires Mac OS X 10.4.11 at least, it runs best on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). Upgrades from iRed 1.x: Purchasers of 2008 will get a free upgrade, all others require a new single license ($15/10 Euro), but there is no need for a "device license", too. You'll be contacted soon. |
(*) This requires an IRTrans USB or LAN device. See this page for details.
