Re: Time Controlled Shutdown

 

Just remember that every time you reboot, as long as it is after 1AM , it
will be "past" 1AM, so you will have a shutdown.

Re: C2n-txm on a mc3?

 

Always the first thing, but this is an error in simpl upon compile, before it ever hits the hardware. I've heard about some modules not being compatible from one gen processor to the next, but usually they don't even show up in the DB if it isn't compatible for the defined processor gen. Might this be what I'm seeing? I have only done a couple of 3 series so I'm sure I'm going to run into this kind of issue again, so I'm looking to gain experience with figuring out what these new errors and messages mean, and the solutions. I'll end up calling TB, but this was something I was working on at home this weekend. I figure somebody here has had to cram old hardware into a 3 series and has seen something similar. Thanks for the suggestion tho.

Re: Crosspoints..... Commerical Guy trying to do first Resi

One more thing I forgot to mention for analog signals, if you have a commented out analog on an ecross, it carries a zero value. If you define the signal "//room_xx_has_no_voume" as the volume analog feedback on the room with no volume, the volume level should go away when you connect to that crosspoint.

I found this out when I was trying to be clever and label some of my signals and began clearing levels.

--- In Crestron@..., "gsrankin" <grankin@...> wrote:

Just so you understand what's going on, when you connect multiple ecrosspoints to a single ccrosspoint, the digital signals update to the state of the last ecross connected. If there is no signal defined on the ccross, that is interpreted as a 0 and hence will drive your feedback low. This is the same behavior that enabling a bunch of feedback buffers to the same signals on a TP would have. Whatever the state of the last enabled buffer is will be what the TP reflects. Once everything is connected however, from that point on the last changed signal from any ccross will be reflected on the ecross.

Analog signals are slightly different in that if there is/was a value on them, it will remain until that value is updated. That's why a volume level is reflected on a room without volume.

Serial signals behave a bit like digitals if they are connected to a "Make String Permanent", the last one connected will be the readout. If a serial is defined on the first ecross with an MSP but not defined on the second ecross, the serial will go away rather than being held like an analog volume would be. If serials are *not* connected to an MSP on the equipment end, the serial is not passed along at all or is passed as a null string ("") to the ccross. If a song was playing on an iDock for example and there was no MSP on the serial signals, the current song title and other metadata would not be passed along to a second TP connecting to it until the song changed or metadata was updated/refreshed some other way.

Hope that was understandable and helpful.

Also, when you have undefined FB joins on an ECROSS they are forced to 0 on connect effectively clearing your feedback on the CCROSS.

Keeping parallel logic separated avoids these issues. I only allow a 1 to 1 CCROSS to ECROSS relationship, but because you can have an AV CCROSS, lighting CCROSS, HVAC CCROSS, etc you can e controlling the theatre AV, games room lighting and basement HVAC all at the same time with correct feedback.

Does that fb get dropped when connecting to another ecross without fb across that join, or is there something missing in my program?

I've noticed that graphics unfortunately seem to be the fastest way the

option. It's more work, but they look great visually and display almost
instantly.

Buttons with aliased text created in VTPro render more slowly but look
crappy because they are obviously ...aliased...ha.

Buttons with Anti-aliased text look good, but for me are unusable because
they display so slowly. It's like watching text come up on a 300 baud modem

Did I get the above correct or is there something I am missing that will
allow me use MTX-3 rendered text, look good and render quickly?

Re: Pakedge Reliability

 

For the most part we have had few problems with the hardware. We did have a PoE switch that lost its configuration (with VLANs) twice. But it hasn't happened again.

My only other gripe is that the web interfaces to configure the WAPs and the switches is painfully slow and does not render properly in all browsers. The interface for the routers (re-badged Fortinets) is much better.
