One of the coolest things that come with the AIW 8500 128MB
package isn't even a feature of the videocard, rather it's what ATi calls their "Remote
Wonder."
As the name suggests, it's a remote control (like you might find
with a DVD player for instance) however it's not like those typical remote controls that
come with computers - this one is actually pretty useful. The wireless radio signal based receiver
attaches to a USB port and the remote requires four AAA batteries to operate. Batteries are
included.
The Remote Wonder is used with ATi's All in Wonder or TV Wonder line of
cards and doesn't require any special programming once it's installed if you only want to
use it as a TV Remote. It has a host of functions including capturing
your favorite video feeds, taking still shots and even mimicking the actions of a two button
mouse!
As you can see from the Remote Wonder
software, there are quite a few programmable key functions and the neat red power
button can even turn the whole computer off!
