What does Rewritten Palette editor mean?  
 
Universal Dragon uses the latest and greatest development tools. This benefits the end-user 
with an easy to use product. The palette editor code has been rewritten to display information 
faster. With an IR code library consisting of more than 10,000 unique IR codes, you’ll be sure 
to find what you need faster.   
 
How does a Default Template help me?  
 
Our technical support staff has been involved in over a thousand installations per year. This 
has led us to believe there is a significant commonality in a majority of installations. Universal 
Dragon comes with Default Templates to enhance the programming experience. The default 
template consists of several well-utilized source pages that are pre-programmed. After 
selecting a template, use Auto-Fill to build your projects faster. By sharing our knowledge, we 
hope the end-user of Universal Dragon will get the end results they want with no headaches. 
 
Why is HEX-IR important to me?  
 
We have worked with several installers and found they are sometimes stuck with a customer’s 
old source component such as a vintage DVD player and has lost the original remote control. 
There are also occasions where exotic source components have difficultly to using learned IR 
codes. With HEX-IR, you can now use IR codes found on community web forums to solve the 
problem. CCF or HEX formats supported.   
 
What does Source Overview mean?  
 
The XTR39 and SPLCD in-wall touch-panels are robust enough to contain more pages than 
many websites. Programming can be difficult to navigate with 8-plus sources and more than 20 
plus pages. With Source Overview, a “programming tree” is present allowing easier and faster 
navigation.    
 
Why do we need a new user interface?  
 
Universal Dragon has undergone a new facelift after countless hours of feedback from 
installers around the world. The consensus is that programmers want more information 
displayed with less clicking. The new Universal Dragon allows you to change the smallest 
details. For instance, the font of a button can be reviewed, compared with other buttons, and 
changed with less mouse-clicks that previous versions. The end result is faster and easier 
programming.  
 
What does re-sizing the base unit do for me?  
 
Resizing the base-unit may sound trivial, but the development work involved is very intense. 
Regardless, the effort was made and the result is beneficial to the end-user. The base-unit can 
be resized for easier project overview and allows custom fit for people on the go using small 
lap-top monitors as well as programmers who prefer huge office monitors.
