roIRTransmitter
This object supports sending arbitrary remote control Infrared remote control codes using the NEC, RC5, or PHC (Pronto
Hex Controls) protocols.
Object Creation: The roIRTransmitter is created with an associate array specifying the following:
• destination: A string value indicating the connector that will be used to output the signal.
o "IR-out": The 3.5mm IR input connector (available on XD players) or 3.5mm IR input/output connector
(available on 4Kx42 and XDx32 models)
o "Iguana": The Iguanaworks IR transceiver
Note: System software will not prevent you from generating both an roIRTransmitter instance set to IR-out and an
roIRReceiver instance set to IR-in (i.e. configuring the 3.5mm IR connector for input and output at the same time).
However, input/output performance will not be reliable.

Interfaces: ifIRTransmitter
The ifIRTransmitter interface provides the following:
• GetFailureReason() As String
• Send(protocol As String, code As Dynamic) As Boolean: Sends the specified code using the output
destination set during object creation. The system currently supports two IR transmission protocols: "NEC" and
"PHC" (
Pronto Hex Code ). This method returns True if the code was successfully transmitted, but there is no way
to determine from BrightScript if the controlled device actually received it.
