Dynamic Display ECU Infrared Transmitter

The Progress IR Transmitter is an advanced remote control system with a dynamic display screen, adapted for people with disabilities. Selections can be made by directly touching the display screen or by using switches for scanning through selections.

It is based on a pocket-PC with the most modern technology available. Progress can "learn" infrared (IR) codes from other remote control units such as those for a TV, video or stereo system. The screen is dynamic, and the information displayed can be arranged according to the needs and wishes of the user.

Progress Demonstration CD.

Progress Light, the software delivered with the Progress, is available at no charge in a demonstration CD. It can be used for changing various settings or to understand the workings of the unit. The program has the same appearance as in the Progress but doesn't allow the IR codes to be transmitted. Request the CD from ZYGO or get the latest version of Progress Light from GEWA AB.

Install Progress Light to your PC and try it yourself!

GEWA Progress comes complete with the Progress, docking station, battery charger, and memory card.
