Application description *
Rowmote Pro adds a wireless touchpad and keyboard - with landscape mode, two finger scrolling and right clicking, dragging, accented / extended character support, and more - to the clean and powerful remote control of Rowmote which offers perfect control over dozens of the best Mac applications! Please read the full description and requirements below :) *
You love the remote control which came with your Mac - so simple yet elegant, with easy control of Front Row, iTunes, Quicktime, DVD Player, Keynote, and more.
Or, your Mac didn’t come with a remote control or doesn’t even have an infrared port. The Apple Remote or a 3rd party infrared receiver would cost a significant amount. Add ANOTHER hit to your wallet for a wireless keyboard and mouse!
You carry your iPhone or iPod Touch wherever you go... so why should you carry a second device just to control your computer? Furthermore, why should you need line-of-sight to do so?
Enter Rowmote Pro! Rowmote Pro is like your Mac or Apple TV’s remote control, but over the wireless network and even better! Trackpad and keyboard give you complete control over your computer, and you can control, launch, and quit apps, toggle the iTunes Visualizer, and more without ever having to squint at your screen. Rowmote is Mac-like from the ground up.
FEATURES
- Control your Mac or Apple TV completely over a wireless network. No line of sight necessary.
- Works like the hardware Apple Remote Control in:
• Front Row
• Airfoil Video
• Amarra
• Apple TV (after software installation. Keyboard currently works in some 3rd party apps)
• Boxee
• DVD Player
• eyeTV 3.x
• Firefox
• Hulu Desktop
• iPhoto
• iTunes
• Keynote ‘08 & ‘09
• Last.fm
• Microsoft Powerpoint ‘04 & ‘08
• mPlayer
• Movist
• OpenOffice Impress
• Quicktime
• PandoraBoy
• PandoraJam
• Plex
• Safari
• Skim
• Songbird
• Spotify
• The Tube
• VLC
• xbmc (Xbox Media Center)
- Click-and-hold works just like on the physical remote in applications; e.g. holding the right button fast-forwards, while a single click is ‘next’. Only Rowmote gets this right!
PRO CONTROL: A single tap - or, optionally, a rotation - switches to the keyboard & trackpad mode.
- A shake hides the keyboard for full screen mousing or shows it again.
- Portrait & landscape mode.
- Scroll with two fingers, right click, and drag (multitouch).
- Tap anywhere or use the virtual button.
- Type on your computer, including extended characters, modifier keys, and function keys
- Multiple monitor support; no screen size limitation
- Apple TV: Keyboard works in some third party applications, such as Boxee, but NOT in the primary Apple menu system.
- SWITCH: Apps Remote allows launching & switching to controllable applications on the Mac, toggling iTunes visualizer, and more.
- SLEEP & WAKE: Put your Mac to sleep by holding the Play button for 3 seconds. Sleeping machines are automatically woken as needed (wireless waking requires Mac OS X 10.6 and the machine to be connected to a power source).
- Enables Front Row in Mac OS X 10.4.
- Optional dark interface
- Secure authentication
- iPhone 3.0 support
REQUIREMENTS
• Mac OS X 10.4.0 or later
• The free Rowmote Helper program, downloadable at rowmote.com, must be running on the Mac to be controlled. Apple TV requires additional installation; please see http://rowmote.com for instructions before purchasing.
• The iPhone or iPod Touch must be on the same wireless network (a computer-to-computer network works, as well). If a firewall is enabled, Rowmote Helper must be allowed access (port 5842).
Rowmote Pro is the only app you need to control your computer. Couple it with Apple’s free Remote app to turn your iPhone or iPod Touch into the ultimate controller for home stereo, mobile presentation, or casual video viewing.
