all Prontos can use it. Here is some more info

Pronto: 2000 uses CCF, same buttons, same screen size and same 4 shades, no reason to make any changes

Pronto Pro 6000: uses CCF, two more buttons, same screen size and 256 colours, so you will most likely want some changes (add function to other two buttons, change most B&W versions of icons for at least coloured versions

Pronto NG 3000: uses PCFs but can import CCFs and use them as is (more or less), like the 6000 it has 4 screen labelled buttons but it also has 8 more buttons arranged as a 4 way cursor and 4 buttons setup on either side of it so chances are a lot of functions can be moved off screen. Also one of those 8 new buttons is a home button. You can also use 100% of the screen (so more editable space) as well as 16 shades of grey. So even though you can use your CCF mostly as is, chances are that you will want a major rework sooner or later

ProntoPro 7000: same as Pronto 3000 but the screen uses 65K colours. So definitely not use sticking to the 4 of the TS-1000

there is also two new ones announced at CEDIA the 3500 and 7500 can't say anything on them


the 1000,2000,6000 are definitely off the market (old retired models) I am guessing the 3500/7500 will replace the 3000/7000 respectively, but to be honest nothing much is known on them. Ask in a couple of days (CEDIA expo started today and lasts until the end of the week end

PS if you can afford it go with the best, have not seen the 7500 but there is a 7000 review and I have seen it in person and except for some minor stuff it is MUCH better then the 1000 and there is no comparison
