Designed to provide professional installers with the latest and most powerful programming tools, the PCL-300 is a cost effective, easy to use solution that makes programming and archiving faster and more efficient, thus saving installers time and money and allowing them to more effectively service their clients.""Universal Remote is committed to providing cost effective, high technology tools to its loyal base of professional installers,"" said Eric Johnson, VP of Technology. ""The PCL-300 PC Upgrade Link is the latest offering from our advanced engineering department to support our professional clients with an easy-to-use, fast-working solution to the nagging problem of archiving and efficient programming of remotes.""The PCL-300 system comes in the form of a small hardware unit (fits in the palm of your hand) that connects to a Windows PC via USB connection and software loaded by CD. Once loaded, the software enables the system to either upload data from the Omega (MX-650) or Osiris (MX-350) remotes for archiving, or download data from the Internet for upgrades to the remotes.To receive IR database and operating systems updates for each remote via the Internet, the software toolbar presents simple click through for downloading the latest upgrades. The PCL-300 also allows the installer to upload data from a Universal Remote Control MX-650 or MX-350, thus archiving configurations programmed on either remote so they can be reused in the future without repeating a lengthy programming process.In addition, preprogrammed templates are available in the Samples Folder of the software, providing blank configurations that make customizing smaller systems or systems that require extensive label customization much faster and more efficient to program.Tom Spinoso, Manager, A/V Design for American TV also added, ""The PCL-300 is a time saving must have for any professional using MX-350 and MX-650 remote controls in their installations"".
