cgav,
This is interesting. So, the Crestron would be programmed to send an IR signal that would then be received by the Mac, and the remotebuddy software would tell the Mac how to interpret that IR to launch a particular app and/or execute other commands. Is that about right? I'm still not clear. What send the IR signal in the first place?
That's exactly right. The PRO2 has IR out (on the back) that sends the IR signal to the MAC via a flasher:
[Link: crestron.com]If your mac doesn't have IR support then you'd need the MIRA piece I referenced in an earlier post.
Also, you should get with the programmer. He may be able to program it with direct IP commands. There are programs like remotebuddy that take IP commands and control the PC. I don't know how to do it that way, but if it can be done, it would be a better method.
