iWavit Vision app for iPhone and iPad

This app requires the iWavit hardware. It will NOT work without it. The iWavit adds extra hardware capabilities to the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. See www.iwavit.com for more details.

The "iWavit Vision" app turns the iPhone (or iPad or iPod touch) into an IR Remote compatible with certain Cablevision Cable TV systems. To be specific, it virtualizes the Cablevision remote UR2-CBL-CV04.

The layout of the buttons is similar to the remote that come with your Cablevision box. Swipe left-right between 4 screens to get to all the buttons. However, there are a few notable benefit of iWavit Virtual Remotes over traditional remotes:

1. Get rid of clutter from your living room!
2. Buttons are large and easy to hit, and easily seen in the easily seen in the dark, so no need to turn on the lights in the room just to adjust the volume,
3. You can use the iWavit USB Dongle & IR Lightbar as a wireless IR Extender. This means you can be upstairs and still control your TV downstairs. The RF range is over 300 ft.

When you press the buttons on the iWavit Vision app, IR signals will be emitted from the front of the iWavit. You will be able to use this Virtual Remote app much as you would a regular Cablevision Remote. 

On top of this, we have added another feature to this app: It is possible to use the (optional) iWavit USB dongle and IR Lightbar as a "Wireless IR Extender". (Note: You do not need WiFi or need to worry about network passwords at all). Now when you press a button, you can have IR signals be emitted from the Lightbar instead of the iWavit Attachment.

All buttons on this remote are re-programmable with the iWavit Attachment which can be used to learn any IR codes from your old remotes.

Pressing the HOME button in the lower left of the front screen will take you to the app called iWavit Flow. This app provides a convenient cover-flow way to navigate between iWavit apps.

The "iWavit Vision" app is part of a family of iWavit Virtual Remotes for Major-Brand electronic devices. For those who wish to create their own custom Remote Controls, we have created the Ultimate Remote Control app called Tabula Rasa (or Tabula Rasa HD for the iPad). With this app you can create your own remotes, download remotes, upload remotes to share them, search our IR database or learn IR codes directly from your old IR remotes. You can even create macros for embedding multiple functions inside a single button. You can also use the app to control computers using wireless USB Keyboard strokes, voice control, or through the patented DirectPointing air-mouse technology built into the iWavit.
