Hi forum,

Quite some receivers and other electronic apparatus have some sort of IR connection jack at the back. Often they even have input and output. Specifically Onkyo have what they call RI (Remote Interactive) - it also appears that this standard has been extended to cover HDMI connexions as well. Apparently this type of "connection" seems to support two way communication to some extent.

My question:
Can anyone confirm it would be possible to connect a IT blaster exit with forementioned IR input jack (output (?)) and directly control such component, instead of sticking a IR blaster on the IR-eye?
I also wonder if any software exists (linux or win) that would be able to visualize the command sequences travelling over the cable connexion?

Preferably I'd like this to function using Linux, but any Windows solution is also welcome as this may lead to a solution.

Thanks for your comments!
