Hi,

I have looked in the forum to find answers to my basic questions, but couldn't find them. So it would be very nice if someone could enlighten me...

What I want to do : have music stored on my computer, send this music to the amplifier that is in another room (via a digital input), and control everything (selection of music for example) through the TSU-9400.

The computer's OS is windows 7 Pro 32 bits, and as far as I understood, Windows Media Center is bundled in Windows 7.

I need a device that would be located close to the amplifier, would communicate with the PC with the LAN (Wifi or wired) to get the music stream. I guess this device would, in addition to the audio output, have a video aoutput and a remote. Could you please indicate some brands and models for this kind of equipment?

Concerning now the TSU-9400, I will have to write ProntoScript to design the interface and the communication, which is not a problem for me as I am a web developer and very familiar with Javascript. But my question is: with what does the Pronto communicate? With the PC, or with the device linked to the amplifier? I guess it is with the PC, so is there some documentation about the protocol that is used?

Once again, thank you to anyone who could help!

Patrick

The Pronto professional forum has a number of posts on this subject.

An attractive option is to install Logitech's SqueezeCenter software (free) on your PC and to use either Barry Gordon's SlimPronto or Tenchi's Prontosqueeze Pronto modules to control it.

The Pronto can communicate directly with the PC via TCPIP.

Thank you Guy, that's exactly the kind of information I was looking for.
The Logitech range of products seem to be very interesting for my project.

Nobody does this better than SONOS. Use the Pronto SONOS app with a ZP-90 connected to your aplifier. Set the amp to auto sense and your done.
