MauveLink-IR-PC
The new MauveLink-IR-PC enables desktop PC users to take total control of centrally-located satellite receivers or other AV sources.  
simple connectivity - all you need is a COM port and a spare cat.5 UTP cable to the comms room. No power required at the PC end.
hassle-free, high quality pictures - excellent picture quality regardless of cable length* and with zero impact on your data network
cost-effective - choose from hundreds of TV and radio channels for a fraction of the cost of an AV switch system. No need to install new coax cables either - uses your existing cat.5 UTP infrastructure
compatible - works with almost any infra-red controlled AV source and Windows 95/98/NT/ME/2000/XP
   a compact 1 box solution at each end of the UTP cable is all that is required. A 4-user version is also available. Call us about the 19" rack mounted version

control via IP from any part of the world - the MauveLink-IR-PC system is based upon a client-server based control structure that enables the hardware to be controlled by the machine to which it is attached, or by
remote systems using TCP/IP communications.

The desktop 'virtual handset' acts as the client, whilst the low-level device handler (which controls the MLIR-PC hardware) acts as the server. The client and server can be on separate machines provided there is some form of
TCP/IP communication between the two.

It is also possible to have simultaneous local and remote control, to enable selection overrides and broadcast/multicast facilities.
