Denon reveals super new IR remote control

The screen on the front of the remote reads song titles etc, from the linked Denon extender

Denon has unveiled what it calls a "highly advanced LCD interactive" remote control. The Denon RC-7000CI is a programmable infra-red (IR) and Zigbee remote that can operate multiple AV devices in your home. What's more, when used with the optional RC-7001RCI base-station extender it can display meta-data on its integrated LCD screen.

Zigbee is a low-powered radio transmission method similar to Bluetooth . In this case, it enables you to use the remote in any room because it doesn't require line of sight like infra-red does.
