Griffin Beacon Universal Remote Control System for iOS Devices - Black

The Griffin Beacon Universal Remote Control System (GC17126) connects Apple mobile devices to home entertainment equipment. It receives Bluetooth signals from a paired smartphone or tablet and converts them into infrared (IR) commands. The system replaces multiple physical remotes by centralizing controls within a single digital interface, allowing users to manage televisions, set-top boxes, and audio receivers. The unit is designed for home entertainment setups that rely on line-of-sight infrared communication.

Configuration is managed via a mobile app containing a library of device codes. If a specific device is not in the database, the system includes a learning mode to capture signals from existing remotes. The device is compatible with the iPhone 4, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPad 2, original iPad, and second- through fourth-generation iPod touch models. Finished in black, the Beacon operates wirelessly. Setup involves pairing the unit via Bluetooth with the mobile device to consolidate multiple remote functions into a single touchscreen interface.
