remote control for a Sigma Designs Media SetTop Box which is also supporting Z-Wave
TM

technology. Having said that, ZIRC also supports Infra-red remote feature; demonstrating the

Figure 1 ZIRC Z-Wave / Infra-Red Remote Control
ZIRC is adopting an old casing of a Sigma Designs Infra-Red (IR) Remote Control to demonstrate
the possibility of converting an existing IR remote control to a Z-Wave
TM
enabled Remote
Control. ZIRC also retain the infra-red capability, in which it can be used to remote control
older series of Sigma Design Set Top boxes supporting only the conventional infra-red remote
control.
