Introduction

Are you tired of having several remotes lying around in your living room? Do you want to use your iPad instead? This and much more is possible with iRedTouch HD - in conjunction with an infrared LAN or WiFi module by IRTrans GmbH (www.irtrans.com) or a GC-100 or iTach module by Global Caché (www.globalcache.com).

See this chapter for all kinds of supported modules.

If you don't have an iPad - there is iRedTouch for iPhone or iPod touch, which runs on every generation of these devices, back to the 1st gen iPhone or iPod touch (with iOS 3.1.2).

WITH ONE IR MODULE:

• Use your fingers to flip through the list of your remotes on the iPad
• Tap on the photo of your remote - and the IR module transmits the respective IR signal
• Hold down your finger - and the IR signals will be sent repeatedly, if appropriate
• Infrared codes of all common devices (HiFi/TV/DVD/...) can be taught to iRedTouch
• No PC or Mac needs to be running for these operations!

WITH MORE IR MODULES:

• Control all IR-capable devices in your household, from anywhere in your WLAN
• Determine which remote will use which IR module all over your network

HOW TO CREATE A REMOTE:

1. Make a photo of your remote, scan it, or even make a sketch of it
2. Use iTunes to transfer the photo into your mobile photo album or use your Dropbox
3. In iRedTouch choose the very photo as the touchable area of your new remote
4. Place the buttons on the screen, simply by tapping onto the photo
5. Teach the infrared signals to iRedTouch - a built-in assistant makes this easy
6. That's it!

IF YOU HAVE A MAC:

• Control "iRed2" on the Mac - a free license is included with certain IRTrans modules
• Use IRTrans USB modules connected to your Mac, just from iRedTouch via iRed2
• Control your Mac, change speaker volume, send it to sleep, ...
• Control iTunes, let iRed2 announce the current track, jump to the next album, set ratings, etc.
• All this and much more from iRedTouch on your iPad

WITH YOUR MAC ON THE ROAD:

• Control applications on your MacBook, e.g. a PowerPoint or Keynote presentation - via WLAN from your iPad
• Control QuickTime Player or VLC, or whatever. iRed2 is very flexible and adjustable to your needs
