importing favorite images from a PC and using them as key skins or the Remote Commander's wallpaper.
Programming the Remote Commander is intuitive
NAVITUS Design provides an easy to use GUI (Graphical User Interface) for programming the Remote Commander's hard keys and LCD
functions. You can change, assign, and arrange the functions and look of each key and the entire LCD. It is fast and easy to create custom
screens as well as macro functions by using NAVITUS Design.
Customizing the key skins and the Remote Commander wallpaper is fun and easy
NAVITUS Design makes it possible to select the skin (appearance and color) of each key and the Remote Commander wallpaper from a
wide variety of designs. To truly customize the display, it is possible to import and apply pictures from a PC for button designs and
wallpaper.
Easier editing Action lists
NAVITUS Design allows you to check/edit Action lists programmed for the keys and buttons on a list, which makes it easier to check/edit the
Action list than you do with the Remote Commander.
By connecting the Remote Commander to your PC with the USB cable, you can also check the remote control signals of the Action list on
NAVITUS Design.
Checking the operations of the Remote Commander on your PC (EMULATE mode)
NAVITUS Design provides the "EMULATE" mode, in addition to the EDIT mode for editing the Remote Commander settings. The EMULATE
mode makes it possible to check how the Remote Commander will work when the Remote Commander's key or button is pressed on
NAVITUS Design.
Note
In the EMULATE mode, you can only check the visual aspects of the Remote Commander, like page transitions when a key or button is
pressed, or a key's appearance on the page (assignment, skin, label, etc.). Using NAVITUS Design, you cannot check how AV components
will respond to buttons being pressed on the Remote Commander.
Exchanging data through the USB cable or a Memory Stick media
NAVITUS Design allows you to exchange data between the Remote Commander and your PC through the supplied USB cable or an
optional Memory Stick via the Memory Stick slot. It is possible to upload the Remote Commander settings to NAVITUS Design and change
the settings, or download the NAVITUS Design settings to the Remote Commander.
Saving the Remote Commander settings to your PC (Project)
Save the settings made with NAVITUS Design as a "project" on the hard disk of a PC to ensure a back up always exists. There is no limit to
the number of projects that can be created.
Downloading the latest data from Web sites
After downloading the following data provided from the NAVITUS Web site (http://www.sony.com/nxremotesupport), you can import it to
NAVITUS Design.
