Control Library Device Support

The IRIS SmartPort Device Controller and NEDstation Device Server products provide basic control capabilities for a wide variety of equipment and brands, using infrared control and some forms of wired serial communications.

Libraries of standard control functions are provided for the SmartPort and NEDstation to support a variety of devices. Baseline functionality we provide across models includes the following:

  • VCRs / VTRs - play, pause, stop, record, fast forward, rewind
  • TVs / Monitors - volume up/down, channel up/down and/or numeric entry
  • Cable Boxes - channel up/down and/or numeric entry
  • DVD, CD, Laserdisc players - play, pause, stop, prev track, next track, seek forward, seek reverse

Will my NEDstation or SmartPort work with brand X, model Y, to perform function Z?

Our library of supported equipment is quite extensive, as indicated on this page. We have made a special effort to be complete with infrared-controlled equipment from major manufacturers (Sony, Panasonic, JVC, Pioneer, etc.) and Control-S devices from Sony. If your equipment is from major brands, your chances of being supported for the baseline functions are excellent.

If you find that your infrared or Control-S equipment is not supported in our library, or if you require additional functions beyond those we already support, IRIS Technologies engineering staff can probably help you. We will capture the ten commands that you specify for your equipment for a one-time fee of $495. This process requires that we have your equipment and remote sent to us for a period of six to eight weeks. You must pay all shipping and insurance costs for transporting the equipment. Contact your IRIS Technologies sales representative for details and scheduling of this process. (Note: in some instances we may find that we are unable to capture the commands, in which case we will refund the $495.)
