RedEye Products
RedEye hardware adds infrared capability to your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad so that you can control thousands of devices, from TVs and cable boxes to lighting systems and air conditioners. Together with the RedEye application — a free download from iTunes — you have complete control over your home theater and many other devices that use infrared signals. Create custom activities around the things you do most — listening to music, watching movies, channel surfing — so you can spend more time doing and less time punching buttons.

| Benefits | ||
| Home theater, simplified. Group your devices together into activities based on how you use them. One tap launches an activity, and each activity has its own, fully-customizable button layout. |
True | True |
| Fast configuration. An online database of over 45,000 infrared control codes, templates for activity layouts, and easy programming right from your iPhone mean you can get up and running quickly. |
True | True |
| Better TV viewing. A channel guide integrated right into the RedEye app (coming soon) means no more taking over the big screen while you figure out what you want to watch next. (Guide data currently available for the United States and Canada.) |

| More to come. With more than 10 software updates delivered through iTunes since the launch of the RedEye beta program, you can be sure your RedEye remote will continue to improve with time. |

| A step beyond the “One Remote.” For years, universal remotes have held out the promise of one remote to replace all others. With the ability to control from any iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, and (coming soon) desktop, laptop, tablet, or netbook PC, RedEye takes the concept of “universal” to a new level. |

| Configure once, share automatically. You finally have all your activities just the way you want them. Now you want everything transferred to your iPad? No problem — RedEye automatically synchronizes over Wi-Fi, so all you have to do is launch the app and you are done. |
True | |
| Control anytime, anywhere. RedEye is always on, so you can control your home theater from anywhere you get a Wi-Fi signal. You can even take control while you are away through a VPN or port forwarding. |
True | |
| No more point and shoot. Does powering off your system involve a long list of steps? RedEye stays put so you don’t have to stand around waiting until everything is finished before you put down the controller. |
True | |
| No more hunting for the remote. Just grab your phone and launch the RedEye app. Nothing to plug in, no batteries to replace, no remote to lose. |
True | |
| A home for your old phone. Save your old phone from the recycling bin. Dock it in RedEye’s charging cradle so that kids and guests have a handy remote to use when you aren’t around. |
True | |
| Goes wherever you do. With its included keychain carrying case, RedEye mini is ready to go with you to the gym or on your next business trip. |
