What's New For Pronto Next Generation - Philips Pronto User Manual

What's New for Pronto Next Generation?

This new Pronto offers several new features compared to the previous model.
The most important ones are:
Light Sensor
The Light Sensor on your Pronto causes the backlight to switch on
automatically according to the ambient light of your own home theater
environment.
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.
16 Gray Scales
The number of gray scales has increased from 4 to 16. Therefore the buttons
look much more natural.
Transparency
Pronto supports transparency in buttons and other objects. This allows the
user to create complex user interfaces in an easy way.
Cursor Navigation
By default the cursor is programmed to operate devices. The functions
assigned to the cursor button depend on the device active on the Pronto.
Pronto 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
Pronto provides navigation feedback through graphical animations of mode
transitions and page transitions. You can enable and disable the animations of
your Pronto in the Setup Page.
RF
By default, Pronto operates your devices with IR signals. However, you can
choose to have Pronto 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.
USB
Pronto is provided with a USB port. The USB port makes downloading much
easier.
4 MB of memory
Pronto has 4 MegaByte of memory. This enables you to download larger
configuration files to Pronto.
