The TVIP programmable remote can be used with all models of TVIP S-Boxes. Supported from software version 5.0.48.

Button programming

To program the buttons, turn the TV on/off, and control the sound volume settings, follow these steps:

  1. Prepare a original remote (for example, from your TV) and a TVIP remote.

  2. On the TVIP Remote, press the FN and HOME buttons at the same time and hold them for a few seconds until the green LED located to the left of the power button lights up. This means that the remote control is ready for learning.

  3. Press the button on the TVIP remote you want to learn, the green LED on the TVIP remote will start flashing. Available buttons to teach: TV on/off, VOL+, VOL-, mute.

  4. Place the infrared indicators of the two remote controls opposite each other at a distance of approximately 5 - 10 cm. Press and hold for two seconds the button on the original remote that you want to teach the TVIP remote to.

  5. The green LED on the TVIP remote control will flash three times and light up permanently. Then you can continue learning another button.

  6. Repeat the learning process for all the buttons you need.

  7. Press the FN button on the TVIP to save and exit the learning mode, the green LED should turn off.

Switching between STB and TV audio volume control modes

To use the programmed TV control buttons, press and hold FN and VOL+ at the same time until the green LED lights up. To use tsound control buttons of the STB, press and hold FN and VOL- at the same time until the green LED lights up.

Remote control modification with Bluetooth technology

Some TVIP media players are equipped with a remote control that supports both IR and Bluetooth. Such remotes have the designation BT in the lower right corner of the logo. If there is no Bluetooth connection to the media center, the remote control operates in IR mode.

The remote control usually establishes a Bluetooth connection to the media player automatically. If you need to manually bind/reconnect the remote control, do the following:

  1. Go to Settings - System - Bluetooth remote - Setup - Reconnect.

  2. Press and hold the FN and BACK buttons on the remote until the indicator light flashes.

  3. Wait for the message ” Remote control is now connected over Bluetooth “.

Warning

Please note, using the remote with Bluetooth technology is recommended only with media players that support Bluetooth technology. The remote will work with any TVIP media players in IR mode, but button response may be badly and battery life may be reduced.

Voice input

A voice input function has been added to the new remote controls for TVIP S-Box v.705 and v.706. Such remotes have the label B-TV in the lower right corner of the logo.

Voice input is available in all Android applications that support this feature. An API for correct operation of voice input in web application integrators has also been developed.

Supported languages for voice input:

  • English;

  • German;

  • Russian;

  • Polish.

Note

Recognition is performed using TVIP technologies, ensuring reliable and secure voice input performance regardless of international company policies.

Example of using the voice API is available on github.com.
