[edit] file formats

What file formats exist for documenting IR remote codes? What programs exist for working with these file formats? What devices exist for using these files? What databases are available of these codes? 69.87.204.237 15:56, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

The most popular form is Pronto hex. Specific remotes also have their own configuration files with IR codes such as the .ccf format for Pronto and .mxd for URC's MX-700 through MX-850. Most programming software that is used to program remotes has a database, such as URC's MX-editor. Remotecentral.com has a large database of various file types and pronto hex too.

[edit] Restructuring the article

I don't like how the article has the sections "Device based" and "Activity based". You'll never see remotes categorized like this. All higher end remotes, including URC's Home Theater Master series and Complete Control series of course can be programmed to do macros. Just like the Harmonies. The Harmonies also can allow you to select various device functions. So I don't think that this is the best way to organize the article. Andrewwski 21:19, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
