Glossary
Device template You can create a template from a device in ProntoEdit Advanced Mode.
When you add a new device on Pronto, this template will be used.
Firm key Pronto has 4 firm keys located below the touch screen. The label of a
firm key is displayed at the bottom of the touch screen. You can
configure the functions of the firm keys, just like most hard buttons and
the buttons on the touch screen. The strength of the firm keys is that
you can also configure their label, so they can always indicate the
function assigned to them.
Hard button A hard button is a button that can be pressed and generates an event.
Hard buttons can be found on Pronto. Their layout and visual aspects
cannot be changed. You can configure the functions of the hard buttons,
just like the firm keys and the buttons on the touch screen.
IR Short for infrared.
IR code Pronto sends out infrared (IR) signals to operate devices. IR codes for all
kinds of video and audio device brands are stored in Pronto’s universal
database. By selecting IR codes and assigning them to buttons and hard
buttons, you can program your Pronto to operate your equipment. When
IR codes are not present in the database, you can always learn them
from the conventional remote control of your equipment.
Label A label is the text you want to put on a soft button or a firm key.
LCD Short for liquid crystal display.
LCD backlight LCD backlight is a special light source that is placed behind the LCD
screen, enhancing the visibility of the screen.
Link A link, also called a button alias, is a shortcut from the action list of one
button to the action list of another button. Instead of adding the same
actions to several buttons or hard buttons, you can create a link and
reuse the action list. When your Pronto is executing an action list and
comes across a link, the action list referred to by that link is executed.
Macro A macro is a sequence of actions executed when pressing a single
button on Pronto. Every button or hard button can act as a macro and
perform a list of commands. It is the same as an action list.
Mode animation When you switch from using the Pronto to the Tools Menu, the Pronto
icon shifts at the top area of the touch screen. This is called a ‘mode
animation’.
Page A page of a device is the area of 320 by 240 pixels on Pronto's touch
screen containing buttons or other objects.
Page animation When you switch from one page to another, the first page slides out of
the screen and the second page slides in the screen. This is called a
‘page animation’.
Pronto Pronto is a universal remote control with a touch screen. You can
customize and fully configure Pronto to your personal needs: the devices
you want to operate, the functions you want to perform and the layout
on Pronto.
