What’s New for Pronto Next Generation?
This new Pronto NG (TSU3000) offers several new features compared to the
previous model of Pronto (TSU2000). The most important ones are:
■ Light sensor
The light sensor on your Pronto NG causes the backlight to switch on
automatically according to the ambient light of your own home theater
environment.
■ Transparency
Pronto 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 and let transparent
buttons overlap.
■ 16 gray scales
The number of gray scales has increased from 4 to 16. Therefore the buttons
look much more natural.
■ USB
Pronto NG has a USB port to make downloading and uploading easier.
■ 4 MB of Memory
Pronto NG has 4 Megabyte of memory. This enables you to download larger
configuration files to Pronto 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 Pronto 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 Pronto 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
favorite TV-show on Wednesday and Saturday.
■ RF
By default, Pronto NG operates your devices with IR signals. However, you can
choose to have Pronto NG working with radio frequency (RF) signals to operate
devices from a distance or from an adjacent room. An RF Extender (not
included) is therefore required.
■ 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.
