With the navigation pad, you have a
control area for cursor control (left/right and up/down). The cursor
actions will be executed with wiping actions on the navigation pad. If
you wipe in one direction the cursor actions will be repeated until you
release the display. The actions will be repeated faster as further the
swipe moves. With a short tap on the display the selection action (or
enter) is executed. It is recommended to define the navigation pad as
big as possible for a good navigation function.
For Apple TV you can configure the gateway directly. You can also use
the navigation pad for devices controlled by infrared. For this you
have to configure for each trigger (left, right, up, down, select) the
infrared command for the device.
