I downloaded the Philips flat screen discrete files posted by Philips themselves. Being a non-user of Pronto remotes I cannot make use the PCF formatted files.

Is there any way, via software, of either:

-converting pcf files to ccf
-converting pcf files to HEX

so I can use with the Crestron software?

Open the file with ProntoProEditNG(in the files section) and copy/cut out the hex codes. You'll have to do them one at a time however.

When I go into the function of choice and double click the IR button, the page that comes up is as follows:

For example: this is the "power on" command

5000 0000 0000 0001 0000 003F

...when I paste this string into the Crestron HEX prompt is says it is not a HEX and explains it is too short (I tend to agree).

I guess this is what I get for not buying a new Pronto remote just to convert IR signals.

AND I guess this is what Philips does to people that do not buy new Pronto remotes

That is the condensed form of pronto hex for the RC5 protocol with a device number of 0 and command number 63.

You could use my MakeHex program to create ordinary pronto hex for all signals of RC5, device 0.

But maybe now that you know it is RC5, you should check to see if Crestron has an special support for RC5 protocol. RC5 has a special characteristic that ought to get special support from any universal remote, so there may be a better way than pasting in ordinary pronto hex.

Also, a broad range of TV's (many brands and models) use RC5 protocol, device 0, with the same command numbering. So that is the discrete On command for many TV's. Does Crestron have any sort of library of commands? If so, that one should be in there.

Crestron does give that kind of support in their software. It basically accepts a pasted HEX code from a .ccf file
