Griffin Technology partnered with software developer Dijit to turn your favorite iOS or smartphone device into a Universal Remote Control. Beacon allows fingertip control of your entire entertainment system, thanks to hardware and app integration from Griffin and Dijit. Beacon turns an iOS or smartphone device into a handy, easy-to-use remote for home entertainment systems by converting Bluetooth signals from your device to the infrared commands your components are expecting. Beacon pairs your iOS device or smartphone with Dijit's Universal Remote App, putting complete control of your home entertainment center in the palm of your hand. There are no bulky cases or dongles, no messy wires or cables.

does anyone know how this works? the round reciever, it seems i read it operates in a 360 degree range. do you need a line of site then from the reciever to the component, like you would place it somewhere in the middle of your room - i can't really picture that.

IR signals don't always have to be on-axis and they also bounce off walls so unless you have a stubborn component, placing the beacon in a corner will probably work.
