Universal IR Remote Control for the iPhone and iPod Touch
The Re NK100 IR Accessory and Re Universal Remote Control App combine to turn your iPhone or iPod touch into a universal remote control that can work in any room of your home. Away from home, the Re and your iPhone or iPod give you the power to mute the loud TV nobody is watching, or change channels in the break room when the office remote is lost. There are no limits to the number of locations that you can use your Re. There is no need for WiFi, so plug your Re into your iPhone or iPod touch and personalize control of your AV entertainment everywhere.
Setups for Every Room
At home, the Re gives you the ability to duplicate every remote in every room. You can setup the Re in minutes and have every individual remote instantly available at your finger tips. But more than that, you can build Activity Remotes that orchestrate your AV equipment to work together to personalize each viewing or listening activity.
Built-in, Upgradeable IR Database
The Re Accessory contains an extensive IR database for most brands and types of AV equipment. Periodic updates will be available. Unlike learning-only remotes, it can even replace a lost or broken remote.
Activity-based User Interface
The Re creates a specialized remote control for each entertainment activity you want to control. Activity Remotes are automatically set up to allow you instant access to the right device buttons for watching TV, a DVD movie, or listening to a CD. If you need a special button from a Device Remote, it’s a touch away, or if you use that function often, you can make a copy of the button in your Activity.
Powerful IR Transmitter
The Re Accessory’s IR transmitter has been optimized for intensity and beam width for maximum range of use. The transmitter is positioned for comfortable use and optimum display visibility on your phone or iPod.
Learns New Keys & Devices
IR code learning is included in the Re to augment the IR database. You may find an unsupported button or a less common device brand or type that you may need to learn.
You can see the Re in action by checking out New Kinetix' videos.
Unlimited Macro Capability
You can create macros (button playback sequences) on Re Activity Remotes that simplify using your home theater. Create one button to play a command sequence that turns on the TV, receiver, and cable box power and then selects the right AV inputs and outputs to automate your “Watch TV” activity. Set it up once, and you don’t have to remember where all those cables are plugged. Macros are not limited in number, number of steps, buttons or commands that can be used.
Customizable Remote Views
The Re application provides user customization of every remote layout. You can choose button images and create the best button layout for your use of each remote. You can easily add, delete and move buttons.
Unlimited Favorites Lists
You can organize your favorite channels into Favorites Lists like “Sports” or “Movies” for instant access. Tap the network icon and instantly the change channel without entering the digits or using the menu. You can have Favorites for any Activity, so you can create radio stations presets and CD play lists. You can also copy and paste favorites from Room to Room.
You can see the full capability of the Re by downloading the free Re Universal Remote Control App from the App Store. Regular updates are planned to add new features and functions.
What You Get
Buying your Re and having an all-in-one universal remote at your fingertips is just a few, simple steps away. To complete the setup you must have the Re iPhone or iPod touch plug-in accessory which includes the Re, a protective case, and a quick start user guide.
