A1−05 What are the ProntoNEO and RC3200?
Even though the ProntoNEO and RC3200 sound similar to their more expensive counterparts, these
are in fact totally different products incompatible with the "normal" Pronto's standards. Yes, they can
be similarly customized with macros and bitmaps, however these newer models cannot use standard
Pronto CCF files (they employ a new NCF format), or Pronto−formatted IR hex codes. Currently,
there is no way to convert a CCF to NCF format, or vice versa.
A1−06 What is the Pronto NG and ProntoPro NG?
The black and white Pronto "Next Generation" TSU3000 and SBC−RU950, along with the color
ProntoPro NG TSU7000 and SBR−RU980, are very different remotes from the original Pronto
hardware designs. They feature a completely new hardware platform with better screens, additional
hard buttons, more memory, USB communications and a wealth of operational enhancements. In other
words, progress!
The software programs ProntoEdit NG and ProntoProEdit NG will be instantly recognizable to
original ProntoEdit users, and can import Pronto CCF files and use regular Pronto hex codes. The new
models share that distinctive "Pronto" feel that made the originals so popular. If you'd like more
information on the Pronto NG, be sure to browse Remote Central for full reviews, a discussion forum,
and a completely new file area.
