Technical specifications confirm the Omaic XRT136 is a 38kHz infrared carrier frequency peripheral designed for direct compatibility with VIZIO smart panels. The chassis material consists of a standard ABS plastic mold that mirrors the original ergonomic profile. Performance metrics indicate that signal latency is negligible due to the absence of complex handshake protocols such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) or 2.4GHz RF. This architecture results in high "out-of-the-box" compatibility but restricts the operating range to a 180-degree line-of-sight path.
Internal component analysis suggests the use of a silicone membrane and conductive carbon contact points, a configuration shared with other white-label replacements in this tier. As a strictly tactile-input device, the hardware lacks an internal microphone or ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) required for native voice search. Energy efficiency is maintained via a low-draw IR LED, which preserves the longevity of the AAA battery power source.
Performance data indicates that while the device includes hardcoded app triggers for Netflix and Hulu, it cannot facilitate control through walls or closed cabinetry.
The structural integrity of the plastic shell is rated lower than OEM equivalents, characterized by a lighter gauge and reduced wall thickness. Functional feature highlights include:
- Signal Protocol: 38kHz Infrared.
- Power: Dual-AAA battery supply.
- Input: Pre-mapped hotkeys for major streaming services.
If you require a replacement that maintains the original button layout for VIZIO hardware, this Omaic XRT136 Replacement provides a cost-effective alternative to first-party peripherals.
This device is cataloged within universal smart remotes as a specialized single-brand IR solution.
