The HTX2 application allows for AV control using iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch (iOS devices) integrated with HAI’s Home Theater Extender 2 (HAI part number 86A00-2).

HAI is providing interface templates that can be customised for TV’s, Blu-Ray/DVD players, AV receivers, satellite/cable boxes, tuners, projectors, CD changers, and more.

Included with purchase of the HTX2 hardware, HAI’s HTX2 Mobile Designer software allows for the creation and/or customisation of GUI (Graphical User Interface) “remote control” pages that are used for controlling AV equipment using an iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.

The iOS device sends the command to the HTX2, which controls the AV equipment using serial ports, IR ports, IP (TCP/UDP) and SPDT relays. Over 300,000 IR codes are built-in, and additional codes may be added using the IR Learner.

Advanced users can modify the provided templates, design their own templates, or purchase templates from third-parties. Users can even create macro buttons like “Play Movie” to activate a chain of commands, so that all of the applicable AV devices are set accordingly with the touch of one button.

HAI’s “HTX2” application, HTX2 Mobile Designer software, and the HTX2 are now available.
