The lights in the sensor bar are infrared lights. If you blink them at the right rate, they can simulate an IR remote control. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV

- reddalo 9mo agoInteresting. I originally assumed it was some kind of HDMI-CEC technology. It was just the sensor sending the right IR signal to the TV.
- kalleboo 9mo agoThe Wii was still in the SD era and only had analog outputs, it never got HDMI. (I guess it could have done CEC over SCART in the EU, but this channel was in JP where they used D-tanshi)
