This system CCF is entirely original -- all buttons and animations were created by myself. The system even includes an animated help interface for device and macro groups. In the device section the user is always informed of where they are and can jump between panels and devices quite easily.

Star Trek TNG based CCF. This is the first version, after one and a half weekends of work. All graphics elements are new, most are based on original images from TNG. Note that the "dithered look" on all images is intentional (for higher realism). VCR2 is not yet implemented.

The advantege of this CCF is an intuitive and simple operation. Even my mother and my babysitter can operate the remote.

A multi-room system with a central A/V cabinet. Screen Graphics are custom designed to use a 3x3 grid, so they're easy for "fat finger" button selection and only provided the needed options at any given time. Other features include a party mode, power on/off on the home page, labeled IR codes, long macros with informative beeps, plus all channel logos created to fit on the 3x3 grid. All equipment picked for suitable I.R. functionality. Graphics only use white, dark grey and black (no light grey) to enable less sensitive use of screen contrast.

New design! This system CCF contains duplicates of actual remotes as macro panels. A tab based GUI on the device side serves for day to day operation. Features volume control on the left/right buttons (so the volume keys can be used for tuning the satellite) and simulated discrete codes for the Faroudja line doubler. Updated with one-touch access macros for the most commonly used audio and video tests on the AVIA DVD which can be easily modified for any DVD player. Other notes included in the .txt file.

Complete chrome-styled system CCF file with a wide range of devices.

Complete system with multiple pull-out drawer design.

My new CCF that mimics Sony RM-AV line.

New TV + new DVD = new ccf. I have added some new devices to my Linn + Loewe + Sony system and redid the ccf to remove the memory intensive bitmap backgrounds, the result is an easier to use CCF that uses less than 20% of the TS1000 memory. Pressing buttons on the home page brings up simplified transports or station lists. The original remotes are replicated in the device section.

This is a complete system file with custom screens and custom buttons. The system was designed to be easily used by my wife and young kids, not just me. It emphasizes screens that focus on accomplishing a desired function (e.g. "Watch", then "Watch What?"), rather than a collection of individual screens that focus on controlling an individual device. The Dish Network screens include a "favorites" button (a heart icon) that leads to channel icons that have been grouped by type (sports, kids, news, etc.) If desired, there is an "expert" button on the home screen that leads to ugly, but functional screens for each device. These same screens are the "IR" screens that are aliased into the button scripts.
