If you need it, I've written a program that will convert Philips Pronto codes into a Crestron IR driver file.

Just out of curiousity (never having dealt with Crestron, but knowing Panja quite well), how does Crestron work without discrete I/R?

With AMX or NetLinx, I don't care if the unit has discrete I/R or not. Panja delivers IR files for tens of thousands of devices, so the vast majority of the time, they have IR already (and I don't need to record the IR file). NetLinx has contact sensors per I/R port, so you can trivially sense if the device is on or off (via power sense, or via video sync sense on composite output). So, in the end, for a device (pretty much with discrete code or not), I just do something like:

if (<device not on> ) <turn on device>

This way, it works all the time, regardless of anything else.

Just curious: How does Crestron deal with this? Do they also have IR files for the vast majority of the devices, or do you have to record the I/R signals yourself? I presume it's very easy, with Crestron, to determine if a device is on or off? If so, why does it matter if the device has discrete ON/OFF codes or not?

Thanks ...
