Taking a First Look 5 Taking a First Look 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. Learning eye

Taking a First Look 8 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 TV-show 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. .

Glossary 50 IR code ProntoPro NG sends out infrared (IR) signals to operate devices. IR codes for all kinds of video and audio device brands are stored in ProntoPro NG’s universal database. By selecting IR codes and assigning them to buttons and hard buttons, you can program your ProntoPro NG to operate your equipment. When IR codes are not present in the database, you can always learn them from the conventional remote control of your equipment. Label A label is the text you want to put on a soft button or a firm key. LCD Short for liquid crystal display. LCD backlight LCD backlight is a special light source that is placed behind the LCD screen, enhancing the visibility of this screen. Light sensor The light sensor on your ProntoPro NG causes the backlight to switch on automatically according to the ambient light of your home theater environment. Link A link, also called a button alias, is a shortcut from the action list of one button to the action list of another button. Instead of adding the same actions to several buttons or hard buttons, you can create a link and reuse the action list. When your ProntoPro NG is executing an action list and comes across a link, the action list referred to by that link is executed. Macro A macro is a sequence of actions executed when pressing a single button on ProntoPro NG. Every button or hard button can act as a macro and perform a list of commands. It is the same as an action list. Mode animation When you switch from using the ProntoPro NG to the Tools Menu, the ProntoPro NG icon slides to the top middle of the screen. This is called a ‘mode animation’. Page A page of a device is the area of 320 by 240 pixels on ProntoPro NG's touch screen containing buttons or other objects. Page animation When you switch from one page to another, the first page slides out of the screen and the second page slides in the screen. This is called a ‘page animation’. ProntoPro NG ProntoPro NG is a universal remote control with a touch screen. You can customize and fully configure ProntoPro NG to your personal needs: the devices you want to operate, the functions you want to perform and the layout on ProntoPro NG. ProntoProEdit NG ProntoProEdit is the visual editor for creating and configuring ProntoPro Configuration Files. RF Short for Radio Frequency. RF code You can choose to operate your devices with RF signals instead of IR signals. To use RF signals, you need an RF Extender. The advantage of RF is that it spreads in all directions and that it pervades walls. In other words, you can operate your devices from an adjacent room. RF Extender An RF Extender is a converter box that receives RF signals and turns them into IR signals to operate devices. When your ProntoPro NG sends out RF codes, the RF Extender receives them and sends out IR codes to your devices. RFX6000 The RFX6000 is an RF Extender that can be used in combination with ProntoPro NG. Settings Tool The Settings Tool allow you to consult and adjust several settings, for instance consulting the battery level, setting the date and time, calibrating the touch screen, ...
