With the widespread of Internet based smart TVs and Over-the-top boxes, smart remote control has become an integral part of the user experience. An advanced smart remote control replaces the traditional IR with RF connections for better range, non-line-of-sight connection, and much higher data rate; the smart remote control allows rich functions and features for not only basic TV/Box operation but also abundance of games, apps, and services. Based on the high performance BLE, RF4CE, or 2.4Ghz series RF SoC, our remote control solution offers multiple benefits including: high level of integration, excellent RF performance, low power consumption, and ultra low BOM component counts.
Complete Spectrum of Solutions
● High end: (BLE SoC + Sensor):Air-Mouse/Gesture + Audio + RF
● Mid end:(BLE SoC):Audio + RF
● Low end: (BLE SoC) : RF + Key only + IR
● Modularized design for all features allowing easy mix and match
● Audio Codec (no need for external audio Codec)
● Duplex audio supported on single chip
● OTA voice data compression
- Manual switch mode: Independent application states between RF4CE and BLE
● External triggers such as special key combinations can be used to switch between two protocols
● RCU shipped from factory with support for both RF4CE and BLE
● When powered up, RCU automatically searches for either RF4CE STB or BLE STB/TV to pair with
● Once paired the RCU works in the paired mode until factory reset again The Remote control solution can support various peripherals, a selection table is shown as follows.
