We put a quick video up showing our Remote Edition on Android here:

Pretty much going to be the same as our iphone/itouch/ipad IR remote here
Total Control Iphone - Itouch - Ipad Remote Edition Click Here

 It will not have the security functions and profiles in the initial release though.  Other than that it will have the main IR functionality such as IR dbase support, learn IR functionality, macro support, prebuilt GUI for device types, etc.  So basically you can set this all up in less than 1/2 hour for many setups.

It will be missing punch through support in the initial version but you can override buttons with learned IR so you can basically punch through manually for now until we add it in.

On the hardware side it will support the bitwisecontrols BC4 and HAI HTX Home Theater Extender

Should be released within the month directly via our website.

All of our Vidcam Editions except Singlecam have been approved for iOS4 Compatibility and are available on the Apple App Store.  New minimum requirement is iOS3.X or higher.  Application version os V1.3.3.

For anyone who is updating from a previous version and are still having issues after updating please see our upgrade faq located here: Vidcam Edition Upgrade FAQ For OS4 Support

The update for os4 has been submitted to apple today Monday July 12, 2010.  It has been tested for os4 compatiblity and is backward compatible to os3.0.  If you have any o/s version older than 3.0 DO NOT do this update.  All applications are required to support OS3 and higher now from Apple so it is basically End Of Life for any OS support before 3.0.

The new version is 1.3.3 for OS4 support and will be available through the usual Apple update method of the app store icon on your device when available.  At this point we just have to wait for Apple to approve the update and push it out on the App Store.

We also added support for Zoom icons in this version as shown below.  For anyone who would rather use buttons than pinches for Zoom functions the icons will work in addition to the pinch method for cameras that support this function in our application.

1. fixed bug in learning feature.

2. added support for auto profile start.  you can now automatically start any single profile without having to click to enter it.  this function coupled with the 'start at' function can allow the application to start directly into a device listing section of the application.

 you can select the profile to autostart in the 'admin' section of the application.  towards the bottom you will find 'Profile List'.  Click 'Start with:' (pic 1) to slide into the available profile or choose none to turn off (pic 2).  Once you have chosen which profile or none click the red 'Update' button (pic 1) to save.  

Now exit the application and start it again to run it with the profile autostart function applied. 

To utilize the 'start at' function edit an existing Profile and at the bottom you will see the 'start at' field (pic 3).  Click the field and you will be presented with your start at choices (pic 4).  you will need to create the categories and sub categories before being able to select them here.   Select where you want that profile to auto start at and save the edited profile.

We have developed a desktop manager for the current Blackberry vidcam applications. 

See here:  Desktop Manager Information Page CLICK HERE

This is a windows application which supports various functions such as:

•  add/delete/copy video hardware and copy over to and from blackberry
  
• modify existing video hardware (read from blackberry or from saved profile)
• save/load profiles to/from blackberry

Basically this is a windows desktop application for setup and configuration of video hardware which you can then copy over to your blackberry.  It can also read a blackberry and pull all of the existing video hardware into the desktop app for uses such as changes, adding new hardware, editing existing hardware setups, etc.  You can also save multiple video hardware setups as profiles to copy over to your blackberry(s) later on.

This application is currently for sale on the Total Control Estore.  Just click the purchase link on www.totalcontrolapp.com and drill down into the Subsections for Blackberry section (o/s 4.1 or o/s 4.3 and above subsections).  You will find the application for purchase on the list (towards the bottom).

Below is a link to a review of the new version.  We want to thank the editors at BBWorld.info for their review.
