One-touch control allows you to perform multiple commands with one press of a button via a macro. A macro combines a string of pre-programmed commands under one single button. Therefore, it simply takes one button press to execute a series of functions.
8.9 cm (3.5") LCD touchscreen display with high resolution color screen enables a user to discern superb contrast and vivid colors.
The remote is specifically designed to be able to use with only one hand. For example, the remote is vertically aligned, or the design is ultra-slim, resulting in easy, single-handed operation.
User interface can be created to fully incorporate the end user's personal taste and preferences. So, only the devices and buttons that are used most, will be visible on the touchscreen. Also, the graphical design (backgrounds, icons, buttons, colors used) can be chosen by the user.
Flush-mounted display means that the screen is not recessed anymore, but instead flows smoothly with the casing.
ProntoScript, a JavaScript based software tool, enables installers to create a dynamic 2-way user interface for system control over RS232 or IP with full graphical flexibility. The tool is incorporated in the ProntoEdit Professional software. Ready-made ProntoScript modules with Pronto partners are available via the website. For typical installations, you may opt to use standard installation reference files and simply re-assign the various components. More advanced JavaScript programmers will be able to create their own ProntoScript modules for complete system operation and feedback.
Out-of-the-box, a user can control his music server e.g. Escient Fireball. The user interface of the music server is built into the remote control. It facilitates listening to music without being in view of a TV, which is normalIy required to display a music server's user interface. This, in combination with an ergonomic thumb wheel on the remote, simplifies selecting tracks and playlists, & also frees up the TV screen for other activities.
