ProntoPro NG:

The Home Theatre Control Panel

ProntoPro NG is a Home Theatre Control Panel that allows maximum flexibility and

customisation for even the most sophisticated home entertainment system. It can

control almost any device that works with 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 equipped with a colour touch screen. This TFT-

display supports 65536 colours so you can upload any colour 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.

See ‘ProntoProEdit NG’ on page 53 for more information. You can find

ProntoProEdit NG on the included CD-ROM and on the Philips website

www.pronto.philips.com. In the Downloads section of the website you can also

find the latest upgrades for your ProntoPro NG software.

User Guide

Taking a First Look

The Device

ProntoPro NG has several hard buttons. Most are freely programmable, some have

a predefined function:

■The buttons on the left side of the ProntoPro NG 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 Home button 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 free programmable and the OK button are meant for future purposes.

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 will be permanently lost.

Taking a First Look

What’s New for ProntoPro Next Generation?

This new ProntoPro NG (SBC RU980) offers several new features compared to the

previous model of ProntoPro. 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 colours

The number of colours has increased from 256 to 65536 (64k). Therefore the

buttons look much more natural.

■USB

ProntoPro NG has a USB port to make downloading much easier.

■32 MB of Memory

ProntoPro NG has 32 Megabyte of memory. This enables you to download

larger configuration files to ProntoPro NG.

■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 NG,

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 sunset. 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 offers 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.

■Multi Language Support

ProntoPro NG now supports besides English also Spanish, French, German and

Dutch.
