Re: Problem with Consumer Infrared (CIR) sensor

$

I have a D54250WYK.

I want to turn it on using the CIR feature.

How do I do this? So far, no one has any answers. CIR or consumer infrared is a generic term used for all consumer IR remote control. The term does not say which of the many protocols, carrier frequencies or input methods the device will use.

I think everyone is getting pretty irritated that Intel have not answered the question. Does no one there have the answers to the following:

- What carrier frequency (36 kHz, 38 kHz ..... 455 kHz)?

- What protocol? RC5, RECS-80, raw manchester encoding etc... there are hundreds.

- How is this exposed to the user side? Is it configurable? Is there any way to use it? Is there a OS API? Third party app? etc....

 

From what I have gathered so far. Windows media centre has some undocumented/proprietary way of talking to the hardware which allows you to control it. Unfortunately for the 999,999,999 in a billion users (pretty much all of us); We do not use windows media centre and, even if we did, we don't have a windows remote. So for all of us..... Please explain why the CIR sensor is listed as a feature on the PC spec by telling us how to use it?

 

Thanks
