today we've got a product from ThinkPad this is the red eye and we are going to
try and figure out based on the packaging what it does so okay we got
the top of the box apparently it provides you less clutter and more
control okay all right all right I can I can dig it let's keep moving so
apparently it looks like this it is made for iPod and works with iPhone okay this
is all true it does work with both the iPod and the iPhone move around to this
side less clutter okay we covered that already aha here we go you can turn your
iPhone or iPod Touch into a remote control free application download
required so that's no big deal you go on the App Store you download their red eye
app here's uh the other side again
and yeah okay so yeah we've turned basically you turn your iPod or your
iPhone into a universal remote let's get the Box open and we'll talk a little bit
about how this works so this guy right here this is a Wi-Fi to infrared Bridge
it also serves serves as a charging base station for your iPad iPhone I well yeah
obviously you can't plug an iPad into it sorry iPod or iPhone so it sits like
that so if it sat on your coffee table you might say for example uh plug your
phone into it like this and then you wouldn't have to worry about it running
out of battery while you're navigating channels which is cool because I don't
have the app installed yet but I will be doing a video outlining how to use this
guy but I've seen sort of how it works and if you can use the multitouch to
I'll do that apparently but you can use the multitouch to scroll through
channels or to increase the volume decrease the volume you can actually
customize the layout of the universal remote on your touchcreen uh According
to which devices you want to use so here we've got a quick start guide so
apparently you need to plug in your red eye device install the software connect
to the red eye device and then set up the red eye device on your Wi-Fi network
last but not least you can start using your red eye system now it's actually
expandable uh by adding more red eyes or
more iPhones you can configure it so that you know this iPhone is controlling
this room right now and with that iPhone now you want to control the living room
so that's pretty cool and cameraman can scan that while we see the important
product information guide as well as the uh oh a little support thing how to get
help with the product if you're having trouble all right let's find out what else we have inside and uh so yeah
basically it turns it into a universal remote for any of your infrared devices
that is your TV your cable box your DVD player whatever else you happen to have
they have a huge library of of
codes oh need adapters so I don't have to actually just leave my phone hanging
there they have a huge library of codes but you can also actually use their
little app to uh to learn new codes so you can use your old remotes to program
new codes into their app so you got a few different adapters depending on what
kind of an i device you're going to be plugging in and then last but not least
you have power so please do stay tuned to my lonus tech tips video blog where
you will see see how to use this you can also see more unboxings reviews other
technology videos like that and thank you for watching and if you do already
have one of these uh you know please feel free to leave a comment under the
video I do read them actually and uh let me know what you think of it and if
there's any particular things that uh that you've found work really well like
say for example bringing it over to someone's house when you're having
Christmas dinner and then kind of quietly using your uh your iPhone you
know install that in the corner and then like use your phone to like randomly
change the channel when someone's trying to watch the football game or whatever
so I didn't give you guys that idea though don't forget to
subscribe so it's plugged in my phone is charging cameraman insisted that we do
another video clip so that I could show you the power LED and I guess this is
also a good time to show you that I have installed the uh the adapter so that my
phone is uh supported so it's not going to just when I'm pressing on it to
change a Channel or whatever it's not going to just put pressure on the connector so there you have
it
