1. A system for controlling a digital device having discrete controls, the system comprising:
- a user interface including a display screen, the user interface including user-selectable controls displayed on the display screen, wherein the user-selectable controls correspond to the discrete controls on the digital device; and
a translation process, wherein the translation process translates a user control command from the user interface from a first protocol to a second protocol, wherein the digital device comprises logic to receive the user control command in the second protocol and execute the user control command.

Abstract
A system and method for controlling a digital device is provided. A user interface is provided with controls the user can select. These controls correspond to controls found on the digital device. When a user selects one of the selectable controls, a control command is sent through a translation process where the control command is translated from a first protocol to a second protocol. The translated command is then sent to the digital device, which executes the control command.
