Audio and video equipment for home use comes in a variety of brands and design. DVD-players, CD-players, pre-, and power-amplifiers, streaming devices, set top boxes etc etc. all take up space below the TV. For many people, these devices are preferably stored out of sight rather than being put on display, and many different A/V furnitures makes that possible.

The main problem with hiding A/V equipment in a closed cabinet, is that they can no longer be remotely controlled, since IR remote control units need a clear "line of sight" to the infrared (IR) receiver in the A/V device.

The repeater mode of RE·BL solves this problem, by repeating the IR signal received by the RE·BL, transmitting it to an IR emitter cable attached to the IR port.

As Blu-ray becomes more and more popular, and the Playstation 3® is one of the best Blu-ray players on the market, the lack of IR support on the Playstation 3® has become a frustrating problem for many Playstation 3® owners. This problem is finally solved by the RE·BL X: An easy to use IR to Bluetooth converter for the Playstation 3®. No configuration is needed, just add the RE·BL X device to your Harmony remote (or any other universal remote) and it is ready for use.

For those who need it, the RE·BL X offers advanced configuration options through the USB connection and the accompanying PC-software.The RE·BL X can be powered by batteries, USB or a DC-adaptor, and it has an advanced low-power mode for extended battery life. It is possible to combine USB and batteries, allowing for the Playstation 3® to power the RE·BL X when turned on, and to be battery-powered when the Playstation 3® is turned off.

RE·BL X is officially supported by several manufacturers of remote controls and A/V systems, and fully compatible with almost any IR remote on the market (Philips, Logitech, Bang&Olufsen, Bose).
