For: Philips ProntoPro NG By: Brian Hauer | Contest Entry #03: Simple Theater My approach to developing the user interface for my ProntoPro NG was focused on practicality and function. The PPNG's utility, in my opinion, comes from its many hard buttons--allowing a user to issue commands without looking down at the remote. My design therefore tries to use the hard buttons for the most common operations: arrow navigation, chapter advance, home page, the "TiVo" button, and so on.I believe the most practical user interface for an entertainment system is one that focuses on activities rather than devices. The design I've implemented hides the devices that are merely providing "output" (namely the receiver and the television). The activities are roughly analogous to "input" devices (DVD player, DirecTivo, GameCube, and music). However, the user interfaces for these activities are often sparse--limited to only those remote control features I have ever utilized while engaged in an activity. If I'm playing GameCube, I only care about controlling inputs, adjusting the volume, and switching the television aspect. Where possible, I have tried to keep buttons that provide a given function across multiple activities in roughly the same place. For example, a "Go"... (more) |

For: Marantz RC9500 By: Adam Holt | Adam Holt's RC9500 PCF v4.01 This activity-orientated PCF for the Marantz RC9500 is a modification of Daniel Tonks' brilliant PCF for TSU7000. This updated version includes fully customised and labelled buttons and colour system area fonts. The PCF does not use Pronto label fonts - each button is an individual customised graphic. Now includes MySky DSS (Pace PVR) as well as the old Sky Digital codes. Also included is a modified home page with slimline activity buttons and all current NZ TV channel logos/buttons and all Auckland NZ radio station logo/buttons. Complete with a unique RC9500 hard button guide. |

For: Philips ProntoPro NG By: Don Houde | Don Houde's TSU7500 So I had quite a few glitches in my old version leading to lock ups on the lights page and some other pages. This a complete rewrite starting fresh. I actually saved all graphics and locations and started with nothing and only referenced my old remote to build it the same layout and then impove on that. I added allot on new graphics, cleaner IR codes and an easier to navigate macro section. Some graphics are my own as well as using many of the clasics that I loved from Tom Molstad, Mike Ventimiglia, Daniel Tonks and many other great artist on this site. I would like to say thanks for all those who contributed grphics that I used and thanks to the people that I may not have mentioned as well. I saved allot of the PSDs from stuff I made so if you need something I did not include in the ZIP file email me. I will do my best to get it to you. |

For: Philips ProntoPro NG By: Frank James | Frank James' TSU7500 File Here is my first attempt at making my own file. It is space based, I used Photoshop and Microsoft Photo Editor. I leaned on many files for ideas and guidance so thanks to all. Hope someone can enjoy! |

For: Philips ProntoPro NG By: Mike James | Contest Entry #17: Theater Style My PCF is a device based design split into parts for two rooms of the house. It is set up to keep all devices in sync regardless of whether discrete codes are available.Each device maintains a theme of stylized rounded buttons using a conistent layout to make it easy to find controls which are common between devices. Each page has a 'Master Off' button which will turn off all equipment related to the device and take you back to the main home page. I have demonstrated the use of the ProntoPro's translucent capability by using see-through menus for selecting audio, device, D-pad, and lighting settings. For the cable box device, the menus slide out from the bottom or sides showing simple animation techniques. It works great on the remote, but the simulator causes the screen to flash when changing pages, making the animation less smooth. Delays were added to slow it down in the simulator. These delays are not necessary on the actual remote. I hope you enjoy the graphics and layout design. It was a lot of fun to work on. |

For: Philips ProntoPro NG By: Tino Jimenez | Tee's System Design This setup has some similarities to Daniel's and uses his old icons from the 6000. I owe him all the thanks for his icons. This contains a movie listings database complete with descriptions and DVD changer interface. Hope you enjoy. |

For: Philips ProntoPro NG By: Marcus Jones | Marcus Jones' PCF File I have spent many an evening fiddling with my PCF. Although not one of the most graphical availabe, I have spent a lot of time utilising other peoples PCFs to make my own (THANK YOU ALL!). The longest thing to program was the Bose system. All the PCFs I could find wouldn't work properly so I spent hours searching, downloading and clipping various IR codes to get them to work. The end result? In my opinion the best Bose PCF there is on here, with none of the reported problems with twitchy volume up and down etc, mine is as smooth as a whistle! I have tried to make it as easy as possible for people to use my PCF and "modify" it for their own needs. I have wanted a ProntoPro NG for ages and if it wasn't for this site and its members I would never have taken the pluge and finally got rid of the inferior Harmony 885! |
