I have been looking at purchasing either a Rock+, Vigatec, FNS or the Focus scaler.


Do any of these scalers have hard wired IR control?


Thanks

I don't understand what "hard-wired IR control" is! InfraRed control is usually wireless. Do you mean RS-232 control?

This is an interesting topic. Does anyone know if someone makes a IR emitter card for PC's? I want to control all my AV equipment using a PC and program a touch panel with HTML. I haven't been able to find a way to fire out the IR strings from the PC. Has anyone done this?

The beni of using IR over RS-232 is the fact that you don't need to do any command string programming. All you need to do is learn the IR from the remote and assign it to a button. If you go hardwired, it's more reliable.

I saw a universal I/R receiver and transmitter for a PC.


However, it cost over $250 (thus cancelling my wonderful plans to make a cheap PC based PVR).


I would love to know also about an I/R receiver and transmitter that would allow the PC to receiver I/R commands and transmit recorded ones to other devices (just like I/R blaster for the Tivo can).
