ok i have an stand alone theater, ada system that customer is retarded on. they have a pronto which is 100% ir. it works awsome for me but this guy refuses to point remote at screen. so things sometimes dont work.
what i would like is a good remote that i can use. what i would like to do is remote transmits rf to some kind of receiver that outputs ir and or 232.
the RTI t3 looks cool but never used a rti product so not real sure. is it easy to use? program etc.
thanks
ed

are you open to that owen? i've been triing to get crestron for like 10 years or more...same run around from them.
the new factory guy seemed nice enough and was promising but i guess i did not kiss his ass enough. and the other guys who do the programming that they want us to get it from suck monkey ass.

Which Pronto does he have?
All the models I use have RF as well.
Use in conjunction with a Pronto RFX-6000 or RFX-6500 (RF Base Station)
and your problem is solved. No more unreliability because the Remote is not pointed at the IR receiver.

Install a 360 degree ceiling mount IR receiver and use the Xantech IR to RS-232 box.
A relatively inexpensive suggestion to totally upgrading to Crestron or AMX.

To your original comment, I switched from Pronto to RTI about a year ago, and I'm not looking back. Pair it up with an RP-6 and you can do just about anything, except 2-way communication.
I love T-3's, they've solved a TON of problems for me.
Just my $.02 worth.

Higher Definition Fred, The new processor is coming and it will have 2 way 232. Agreed the RTI has not given us a lick of trouble. Every system works and we havent gone back except to add a few fav channel icons or move button or two for the client

have 2 way 232. Any ETA on date? I saw the box at CES and again at EHX, but nobody is saying when it's coming. Also to get 2-way, don't we need to send the T-3's in for an upgrade?

According to Matt the 2 way processor should be out around Cedia, maybe a little before then. I am becoming more and more of a RTI fan the more I play with their product.
I did have a T2+ that would not hold a charge. It was weird, I called the company number. Actually spoke to a real live person right away. They faxed me a RMA right away, I sent it back that day. And within 2 weeks it was back.
There is nothing like being able to make a phone call and get some decent support on the other end. As soon as I know everything I won't need to worry about that, but until then. Company's like RTI will get my support.

Ed,
You can't use an RF station for the Pronto? The 6500 is really a big step up from the older unit. If you are using a 7XXX remote it really gives good results.
As for the T3. I am using it in my system at home and it works despite the issues of where I live. RF remotes don't really work in my home due to living right next door to a HAM radio operator.
I would say that the T3 RP-6 combo is above 90% in my RF awfull home.
