How is your Mac Pro being controlled by your PS3 remote...does your Mac Pro have some sort of infrared receiver?

my Mac Pro is blue tooth, ive have it working with the ps3 remote control, it wasnt that bad to sync, but im trying a program called Remote Buddy to actually enable me to pause and play quicktime player. its working pretty good. i can pause and play a movie im watching on my tv. thats all i wanted to do. im sure if i search enough i will be able to eliminate the remote buddy program. seeing as the remote control is sync without the need for the program. im using the program for the pause and play.
