Types of Remotes
IR remotes (other than the Kaleidescape Remote) fall into the following
basic categories:
• Pre-programmed
• Learning
• PC Programmable
Pre-programmed Remotes
Pre-programmed remotes only require setting the remote to control a
Toshiba or Kenwood DVD player. Custom buttons that jump directly to
Kaleidescape menu selections are not available.
Learning Remotes
Learning remotes can be used two ways: as a general remote with a Toshiba
or Kenwood code set, or set to accept (learn) Kaleidescape-specific
commands from a device that can generate these commands (for example,
the Kaleidescape Remote).
PC Programmable Remotes
PC Programmable remotes can support commands specific to the
Kaleidescape interface and provide a more complete experience. The
manufacturer provides software that allows the remote to be programmed
via a computer. This type of programming often allows IR codes to be
imported in hex format (usually copying and pasting the codes into a text
box), or from a Philips CCF file.
For a list of all IR codes (in hex) or CCF format available from Kaleidescape,
or for the CCF file, go to www.kaleidescape.com/go/ir.
Templates are available for download for RTI, URC, and Elan remotes.
Kaleidescape is also included in IR code database libraries for URC,
Logitech Harmony and Opus.
Computer with a Web Browser
The Kaleidescape System can be controlled from a web browser using the
control panels on the browser interface.
