Hi Dan, 

The carriers are hardware generated.  The new one actually has 4
separate carrier generators (1 for each of the 4 transmitters) so
differently modulated devices can be controlled at the same time. 

The CommandIR Mini does it in hardware too, but only transmits 1 actual
signal at a time (multiplexed transmitters).

LIRC just supplies the signal timings + carrier frequency data to be
transmitted, and we supply the raw remote signal timings back to LIRC
for decoding.
