ProntoPro NG: The Home Theater Control Panel

ProntoPro NG is a Home Theater Control Panel that allows maximum flexibility and customization for even the most sophisticated home entertainment system. It can control almost any device that understands infrared (IR) remote control signals. Its intuitive interface makes it a perfect remote control for every user.
ProntoPro NG is easy to configure. It contains a huge universal database where IR codes are stored to control different brands for all kinds of video, audio devices and even home automation equipment. By default ProntoPro NG is set up to control Philips and Marantz devices. For other brands you simply choose the brands of your devices when you use ProntoPro NG for the first time.
Furthermore the ProntoPro NG is equiped with a color touch screen. This TFT-display supports 65536 colors so you can upload any color picture.
ProntoPro NG offers you some extra powerful features:
You can create and edit macros, allowing you to send a series of commands with one single touch.
You can set timers for certain actions to be carried out at predefined times, e.g switching on your
lights or recording your favourite daily TV-show with your VCR.
You can choose to have ProntoPro NG working with radio frequency (RF) signals to operate
devices from a distance or from an adjacent room. To do this, you need an optional RF Extender that converts ProntoPro NG RF signals into IR signals.
With ProntoProEdit NG software you can create your own screens and define a personal look. ProntoProEdit NG’s Online Help system (accessible via the ‘Help’ icon in ProntoProEdit NG) will guide you through the process. You can find ProntoProEdit NG on the included CD-ROM and on the Philips website www.pronto.philips.com
. See “ProntoProEdit NG” on page 40 for more information.

The Device

ProntoPro NG has several hard buttons. Most are freely programmable, some have a predefined function:
The buttons on the left side of ProntoPro NG of the screen have predefined functions: Page up,
Page down and Backlight
The 4 firm keys below the touch screen are freely programmable. You can reprogram the function
of these buttons and change the label on the touch screen.
The cursor and the OK and Home buttons on the right side of the cursor are programmed to
operate devices (e.g. navigating through the on screen menu of your TV). With the Toggle button you can change the working of the cursor. The buttons on the right side of the screen are used to control the volume and channel: Channel up, Channel down, Mute, Volume up and Volume down. Although these buttons each have a predefined function, you can program them yourself. If you learn one of these buttons or assign a macro to it, its predefined function for that database will be permanently lost.

What’s New for ProntoPro Next Generation?

This new ProntoPro NG (TSU7000) offers several new features compared to the previous model of ProntoPro (TSU6000). The most important ones are:
Transparency
ProntoPro NG supports transparency in buttons and other objects. This makes it easier to create complex user interfaces. You can now place buttons with a transparent background on top of a background image, let transparent buttons overlap or create transparency effects within buttons.
65536 colors
The number of colors has increased from 256 to 65536 (64k). Therefore the buttons look much more natural.
Integrated Macros
Macros are now better integrated in the configuration file. Each button can be a macro, this means each button can contain more than one action.
More advanced Timers
Your ProntoPro NG is able to set timers for certain actions to be carried out at any time you choose. Timers are not an entirely new feature of ProntoPro, but they are easier to use and better integrated with the configuration file. You can activate and deactivate the timers you created and you can also set them to repeat daily or weekly. For instance, you can have the lights switched on every day at sundown. You can also create a timer to set your VCR to record your favourite TV­show on wednesday and saturday.
Page Overview
The Page Overview offers you a list of all the pages for one device. Every device comes with a Page Overview, making it easier and faster to browse through the device pages.
Cursor Navigation
By default the cursor is programmed to operate devices. The functions assigned to the cursor button depend on the device active on ProntoPro NG. ProntoPro NG also offer you the possibility to use the cursor for navigating through devices and pages on the screen. The Left and Right cursor buttons allow you to scroll through the devices, with the Up and Down cursor buttons you scroll through the different pages.
Animation Mode
ProntoPro NG provides navigation feedback through graphical animations of mode transitions and page transitions. You can enable and disable the animations of your ProntoPro NG in the Settings Pages.
USB
ProntoPro NG is provided with a USB port. The USB port makes downloading much easier.
16 MB of Memory
ProntoPro NG has 16 MegaByte of memory (extendable to 32 MB). This enables you to download larger configuration files to ProntoPro NG.
