I often have a situation where I need to implement a discrete code (i.e. one that is not on the remote) to simplify the user experience. For example I usually need to switch between PC input and AV input which requires selecting source and then scrolling to the appropriate input. If the system misses a step, the user winds up with a blank screen and this often results in my phone ringing. Remote Central publishes a set of discrete codes for a wide range of TVs so that it is possible to code the system to select a specific input and not have to wade through the selection process. For example here is a set of codes for Samsung TVs.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure out the way to convert the hex string provided by the team at Remote Central into IRTRANS speak. I'm sure I am not the only one, can anyone assist?
