SnapStream has announced on their blog that they have officially launched the Firefly Mini Remote. The Firefly Mini Remote is an Infrared Remote along with an Infrared Receiver that connects to any computer through a USB port. The Firefly Mini does not require any drivers with Windows XP (it functions as an HID compliant device) and can be used to control not only SnapStream’s software products (Beyond TV) but also other programs including Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition.

This is in addition to the current remote offered by SnapStream, the Firefly. The main differences between the two remotes are that the Firefly Mini is smaller, has fewer buttons, and it is an Infrared Remote (the Firefly is a Radio Frequency (RF) remote). Because it is infrared, the functions of the Firefly Mini remote that control the Beyond TV software can be easily added to any Universal Remote that has a learning function.

More info is available from the SnapStream Web Site and the Firefly Mini Remote product page.
