Re: When to use a cross point
Heather Baiman
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýOne of the bonuses that came when I converted to crosspoints from buffers (many years ago now) was panel tracking for sources.? I had always wanted all panels that were controlling the same zone to track source control and I couldn¡¯t get my head around all the buffering and nonsense it would take to make this happen with all interfaces. When I moved to crosspoints it happened as a byproduct of the way I setup the crosspoints. ? So let's say, if the TP in the wall is on "Radio" and the touchpanel in the user's hand changes the source in that room, the panel in the wall will update as well.? I only have panels track sources, that way one person could go the wall and change the temp on the HVAC page and not disturb the person on the source control page. ? There is a lot of power in them and even when I have to do an occasional one or two room TV system, I still use crosspoints? and all the same logic (that's applicable) that I would use in a 40 room system.? This way as I update systems going forward I can easily drop in the new features without having to "custom" them for different programming methodologies. ? From: Crestron@... [mailto:Crestron@...]

? If I have a button press and feedback for a DVD player, that same signal goes on all panels. I don't see a reason to buffer it with tp1_play and tp2_play, which I guess what crosspoints are doing in the background.? ? More or better examples would be great!

??? Has anybody had luck controlling samsung UN60J6200AFXZA.? This is a consumer display and the support on the samsung website does not explicity show the IO.? I would want to confirm ex-link functionality. ? Jerry ?

Re: When to use a cross point
Well yeah, except panels acting independently with how I've been coding them is just separate page flip logic... and for me that's an INIT/EQU.

Re: When to use a cross point
There are some huge benefits. If you need every panel to act independently from each other and control the same devices is the biggest benefit. Once you have the first panel done with xpoints,adding more panels is just a copy paste and rename with new xpoint numbers. They definitely have their use.

Re: When to use a cross point
Crosspoints permit multiple panels to connect to and control the same rooms and devices.? That's the whole point of them.? Crosspoints also eliminate the need to have multiple folders filled with buffers for every panel.? You're first paragraph is actually a perfect example of when crosspoints would be beneficial.?

Re: When to use a cross point
I'm not finding any compelling case for using crosspoints when you have say, 3-4 panels and they are all exactly the same GUI, controlling everything. I'm sure it might make sense if you have a Room1 panel controlling Room1 and Room2 controlling Room2, but I simply found it easier to program for 1 panel, carefully naming signals, and the copying the whole folder structure and renaming tp1_ to tp2_.?
I'm also not entirely sure I follow the whole connect/disconnect schema. I assume it doess allow multiple panels to control the same device simultaneously?? |

Re: When to use a cross point
I started using crosspoints and never looked back. ?Much better than folders of buffers. ?I just keep the same crosspoint ID's between projects for various devices, and it makes it easy to copy from project to project. ?The zones get a crosspoint, the Gui's get a crosspoint, and the "sources" get a crosspoint. ?I find that programming every touchpanel to control any zone, and source, for every job, is easier to program than adding in the flexibility later. I ?can do this very easily with crosspoints, and not have the huge overhead that doing the same thing with buffers would create.

Re: Polycom SoundStructure module stops working
"The Crestron mod works a little differernt than the actual Polycom SS Dialer UI"
I tried reporting issues with the VoIP SS module to TBTS - specifically with the Flash function. I was told that no one else had complained about the functionality, and my case was closed. Found out from the SS API doc (and confirmed with Polycom support) that the command the I2P module was trying to use wasn't even part of the API, and as such did nothing but generate an error. :/ ? - Chip |

Re: Polycom SoundStructure module stops working
Mat, Can you upload your VoiP module please. Having a heck of time with a C series with the extra VoIP features. Mainly because I never really sat down with one and bench tested how all the controls work. In the past when I was told it was a VoIP system, I would just give them basic phone controls, but I now have a user that wants to transfer and conference, etc. The Crestron mod works a little differernt than the actual Polycom SS Dialer UI. So its hard for me to tell if its an issue with the module or a limitation at this point.?
Thanks, Cyberbri |

Re: Old VT Project Opening Empty [SOLVED]
"it IS an allowable character, so I'm not sure why VT would have an issue with it"
Lol.? Windows legit characters != Crestron legit characters.? Of course, you'd think they (Crestron) would flag that - not like they have a problem throwing a dialog box in your face for tons of other stuff - why not when unacceptable characters show up in paths/file names? ? - Chip |

Re: Old VT Project Opening Empty [SOLVED]
I think I figured it out and I think it is a combination of bug and environment.
The path to the files that wouldn't open were: D:\Crestron\Programs\¦¸ Archived ¦¸\Project\Panel.vtp. I think the ¦¸ symbol is causing issues. Now, before I get all kinds of "well, you shouldn't use that in a file path" feedback, it IS an allowable character, so I'm not sure why VT would have an issue with it, unless it dates back to early VT days where long filename support had just come out. I put that symbol in the path 1) so it stands out and 2) so it alpha numerically sorts to the BOTTOM of my folder list. Outside of that folder, I keep projects I am currently working on, so I don't have hundreds of folders to sort through to find a work in progress.? If i move the VT file outside of that Archive folder, it opens fine. If I move it back in, doesn't open. I also keep 4x PCs organized the same way, which is why it acted this way across all of my systems. I reported the finding on Labs and they've got a bug logged.? |
