We are going to do sampling and playback so we can be universal (to the extent that most IR is modulated at about 40 KHz, for things like your Bang and Olafsen stereo which use 100 KHz modulation you will need to do some extra work externally).

For our listening mode we plan to emulate a number of devices so that you could pick a device that you don't own, and program your "4 in one" to control the BeBox, which masquerades as that device.

For example, we might be programmed to listen for codes addressed to a Panasonic VCR and respond to them. If you happen to own that particular VCR the BeBox could be switched to listen for codes for say a Sanyo CD player. In other words we will be flexible enough to respond to a code for something you don't yet own.

What standard(s) do the BeBox IR ports follow?
