The Hauppauge Consumer Infrared (IR) Receiver Windows driver is a software package that allows your computer to communicate with and use a Hauppauge IR receiver. Hauppauge IR receivers are typically used with media center applications (like Windows Media Center, Kodi, or other media software) to allow remote control functionality. The receiver picks up infrared signals from a remote control and sends the data to your computer.

The Hauppauge Consumer IR Receiver typically works with a remote control that can control media playback, volume, and other computer functions. It may also be used in conjunction with certain Hauppauge TV tuners or other media products.
