Remote has pages for a whole house system that shares all the same components any source to any room audio and video with directed IRs. Very elobarate but works great.

I wanted to design an interface that had the look and feel of an Apple OS. It needed to be clean, sophisticated, and most of all easy for the end user.

Run the emulator to really see the potential of this layout.
