The NTX6400 (NetX) is a WiFi IR extender which allows to enhance the capabilities of the networked home. Designed for the iPronto, it extends the control beyond the line of sight and into multiple rooms. Using a wireless home network, iPronto can use NetX to control your A/V and Home Control devices from virtually any location in the home.
Control AV devices that are not in line of sight
A NetX can receive Infrared (IR) control commands via 802.11b signal that iPronto sends through the wireless network. NetX can output those commands either by using the built-in IR blaster, or by using one of the four IR emitters that are included.
Control AV devices remotely in multiple rooms -
By placing a NetX in another room, you can control the devices in that room without leaving your seat.
Multiple NetXs are addressable in your wireless home network
Each NetX can be given a unique name, and can be addressed separately by one or more iProntos in the network.
Note: To be able to use and configure the network extender, you need to make use of iProntoEdit 2.1 and your iPronto needs to be running firmware version 1.4.5 or higher
The iPronto talks to the netX via RF (Not wi-fi). Wi-fi is only used to set the netX (or multiple netX's) up on the network, and for addressing purposes, not for sending the commands to be converted to IR.
