IRMan |
|
Irman can receive the infrared signals transmitted by all sorts of remotes. It converts these signals to computer commands understood by software in your PC. This software is integrated into the programs listed on the software page. Irman has been tested with over 40 different brands of remotes, they all work. Irman is supported by software for Windows 9x/ME, NT, Windows 2000 and XP and can be used with third-party software under Linux and Risc OS. On the left you can see an Irman with its infrared receiver at the front. This receiver is very sensitive, it can reach up to 10 m (33 ft.) and has a 80 degree angle of sight. On the back you see a cable coming out, it connects to a serial port on your PC (9 pins). Irman measures 7.6x6.2x2.5 cm. (3x2.4x1 inch.) and has a 1.5 meter (5 ft.) serial cable. It doesn't need any external power as it uses some of the serial port wires.
