Saving and Loading IR Profiles

When you are satisfied with the configuration and the operation of a given IR profile, save it by clicking the “Save” button. Give the profile a meaningful name such as the model of the STB which it is designed to control. Then select the Infrared codes profile in the Control Center section “8. RPM Settings” for the RPM to use this profile for its Encoder-Stream, see figure below.
