Apple 4K TV is the latest development from the technology giant as they enter into the high end viewing market. Initially launched into the retail sector, Apple are now engaging with telecom operators to offer a viewing package that supplies the hardware at no cost in return for a competitive subscription including Apple+ viewing channels.

 

The remote control supplied with the Apple TV box follows their vision of minimalist design but its useability has not been universally well received by users with many finding the device difficult to operate.

 

The action of swiping appears to be the most challenging of operations, leaving some users frustrated by the lack of precision. Those end-users can end up calling the operators help line with the worst case scenario being that the equipment has to be returned and contracts cancelled.

 

This is not good for neither the operator nor end-user. So we looked to create a solution...

​

We developed the Remo-4K, a remote control that follows the original sleek design but with more dedicated keys allowing end-users to quickly set-up their system and enjoy the full experience Apple TV offers.

 

Scrolling and selection problems have been eliminated through the use of a D-Pad with directional arrows. The device also comes with a pre-installed database giving seamless access and control of over 20,000 television and set-top-box systems.The current device is IR powered and therefore does not support Siri.

 

Designed to work straight out of the box, with no pairing or set-up required, the Remo-4K is also easily configurable for colours, printings, key layouts and even key shapes, letting you customise the remote control to fully represent your brand.
