Product Description
IR Blaster, along with Automation Software such as SnapStream Beyond TV, allows your PC to both Receive and Transmit infrared signals -- exactly like those used by the collection of remote controls you've acquired for your TV, VCR, Audio System, etc.Receive signals from the remote controls you already have (allowing your PC to perform actions when the 'Play' button is pressed on your VCR remote, for example)'Learn' from remotes you already have and Transmit a duplicate of these signals from your PC (for example, your PC could automatically turn ON your VCR and tune it to channel 3) - Use codes available from the Web for other remotes (such as the Philips Pronto) to control all of your equipment with Remote (IR) receivers (including special 'discrete' remote codes your brand-name remote doesn't include). For example, IR Blaster could transmit the discrete 'Input 3' code to your TV to directly switch it to input 3, rather than cycling through all of the inputs.Software DOWNLOAD http://www.kinamax.com/drivers/IR-BLSTR.zip.IR Blaster contains a small micro-controller which is capable of 'listening' for Infrared codes which are transmitted from most remote controls. When IR signals are detected, the IR Blaster interprets these signals, decodes them, and sends them to your PC via a USB connection. Automation Software such as Girder can be programmed to respond to these codes. In addition, software on the PC can send IR codes to IR Blaster to be transmitted. IR Blaster's microcontroller will translate these codes to an Infrared stream and transmit them using built-in IR emitters or a connected IR extension.

Excellent IR Blaster,

This review is from: Kinamax ADS IR Blaster Remote Control Signal Sender (Personal Computers)
A great IR Blaster for my Beyond TV setup. I can control the cable box with this while additional tuners record direct cable connection. This IR emitter allowed me to point my remote at it and it learned the codes needed to control my scientific atlanta Explorer 1850 cable box in about 30 seconds. True it comes with not documents or drivers, but come on, download them from kinamax. Total set up was well under 5 min.

This product does not work with any reasonably recent version of girder. There are also no Windows 7 drivers for this product. I ended up returning it.

DO NOT BUY This item!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kinamax ADS IR Blaster Remote Control Signal Sender (Personal Computers)
This item has no drivers available for it since 2003!The item will not work on Windows 7 or Vista. I spent days! to search the internet and forums to find a suitable driver but had no luck. The manufacture, Kinamax, does not respond to emails. The original chip manufacture does not support it since Kinamax change the usage of the base chip. In other words this make a great $20 paper wieght, and that about the only think you can do with this.
