In response to the Intellicontrol question posted above and all the comments relating to "Higher Order" buttons and the ability to use this remote for "High-End" or custom jobs, The intellicontrol is perfect. The MCU is the truly important part, not the clunky table top box. The MCU will respond to IR commands as well as RF and Niles has available the IR equivalent of every button on the remote. The IR codes are even posted here in the Pronto section. We do exclusively High-End jobs and we use the intellicontrol a lot. Not only does it allow you to sync every component(The MCU knows when the VCR is "on" so it doesn't send the power command again), but the IR library is expandable, easy to modify and simply to program. The MCU has relays for screen or drape control and so far has been bullet proof. We typically start with programming the system to work flawlessly with the table top remote, including all macros, "higher order" buttons, and all the functions that a client could want. With a good size system, this usually takes about 2-4 hours including testing. We then take a Pronto or Pronto Pro and customize it to control the Intellicontrol. Here, we can give a client a "Ratio" button or assign channel macros. We can get as custom as we want. The MCU supports IR routing or will allow IR pass-thru. The biggest plus to this system is that once the syncs are done, the system and macros work perfectly every time, no exceptions, even with no discrete codes.
