Sony RM-NX7000 NAVITUS Design Online Help Center - Page 1

Features

NAVITUS Design is a software application that lets you edit the RM-NX7000 settings on your PC. NAVITUS Design makes it easy to program

Action lists

or set the

Zapping

function. Furthermore, NAVITUS Design makes it easy to enjoy a wide range of customizing options such as

importing favorite images from a PC and using them as key skins or the Remote Commander's wallpaper.

Programming the Remote Commander is intuitive

NAVITUS Design provides an easy to use GUI (Graphical User Interface) for programming the Remote Commander's hard keys and LCD

functions. You can change, assign, and arrange the functions and look of each key and the entire LCD. It is fast and easy to create custom

screens as well as macro functions by using NAVITUS Design.

Customizing the key skins and the Remote Commander wallpaper is fun and easy

NAVITUS Design makes it possible to select the skin (appearance and color) of each key and the Remote Commander wallpaper from a

wide variety of designs. To truly customize the display, it is possible to import and apply pictures from a PC for button designs and

wallpaper.

Easier editing Action lists

NAVITUS Design allows you to check/edit Action lists programmed for the keys and buttons on a list, which makes it easier to check/edit the

Action list than you do with the Remote Commander.

By connecting the Remote Commander to your PC with the USB cable, you can also check the remote control signals of the Action list on

NAVITUS Design.

Checking the operations of the Remote Commander on your PC (EMULATE mode)

NAVITUS Design provides the "EMULATE" mode, in addition to the EDIT mode for editing the Remote Commander settings. The EMULATE

mode makes it possible to check how the Remote Commander will work when the Remote Commander's key or button is pressed on

NAVITUS Design.

Note

In the EMULATE mode, you can only check the visual aspects of the Remote Commander, like page transitions when a key or button is

pressed, or a key's appearance on the page (assignment, skin, label, etc.). Using NAVITUS Design, you cannot check how AV components

will respond to buttons being pressed on the Remote Commander.

Exchanging data through the USB cable or a Memory Stick media

NAVITUS Design allows you to exchange data between the Remote Commander and your PC through the supplied USB cable or an

optional Memory Stick via the Memory Stick slot. It is possible to upload the Remote Commander settings to NAVITUS Design and change

the settings, or download the NAVITUS Design settings to the Remote Commander.

Saving the Remote Commander settings to your PC (Project)

Save the settings made with NAVITUS Design as a "

project

" on the hard disk of a PC to ensure a back up always exists. There is no limit to

the number of projects that can be created.

Downloading the latest data from Web sites

After downloading the following data provided from the NAVITUS Web site (

http://www.sony.com/nxremotesupport

), you can import it to

NAVITUS Design.



Preset table (preset code list)



Component data (the settings of a specific component)



Kernel (the Remote Commander's basic program)

Downloading of the above data keeps your RM-NX7000 up-to-date.
