Re: Laptop suggestion for Crestron and AMX
You don't need a ton of processing power for Crestron software, other than some programs being single threaded, where core speed will launch apps faster.?
Definitely get a SSD and 8GB RAM is fine.? I would actually keep to a 1080p display as Crestron programs don't HiDPI scale that well. I end up running my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro @ 1080p even though it has a QHD+ display.? Speaking of which, I'm loving my Yoga 2 Pro. It's outdated now but still performs great, and my backpack has never been lighter. You do have to use a USB3 Ethernet dongle but it's no big deal. I bought two of them so I can even do dial NICs, WiFi, and USB Tethered phone (for Internet) all at the same time (Yes, there are situations).? I'm a big fan of Dell laptops, when purchased direct, and mostly their Latitude, Precision, and XPS lines. Vostro is nice for the price point. Their store-bought is OK but nowhere near the level of support.? Touch screen is nice for when you run XPANEL for testing... which is partly why I went with the convertible.? |

Re: Laptop suggestion for Crestron and AMX
Raj,
? I am looking for a new Laptop for this purpose as well. ?Did you find something? ?I know that the Crestron Owners Group on LinkedIn has a discussion on this. ?Most folks seem to be going with Microsoft Surface Pros for fieldwork, while a list of others are using Macbook Pros, but have to run some type of Windows emulation to get the software to run. I am interested to see if you have purchased anything yet, and if others have any recommendations. -Will |

Re: First Time use of Smart Graphics TV Preset
It's there, in the documents section. ?providers_directv_east from gablerjohn. ?I went through and upadated and added a lot of channels to include icons for most. ?I still haven't gotten around to adding icons for the music channels. ?So if someone feel so inclined to do so and repost that would be great.?

Re: Combinable / Divisible Rooms
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýUsually when sensors aren¡¯t provided we do everything we can to get the client to put sensors in (it almost always results that the savings from programming outweighs the cost of the sensors and in our opinion/experience yields a more idiot-proof system). ? When we can¡¯t get people to bite on that approach usually it¡¯s something along the lines of when all rooms in a possible configuration are off the user is prompted to choose the desired configuration (e.g. in a 4-way divisible room A-B-C-D, if D is ¡°on¡±, the A-B-C touchpanels will allow selection of A+B, B+C, or A+B+C but not anything including ¡°D¡± [i.e. A+B+C+D, B+C+D, C+D]) to prevent someone from accidentally ¡°hijacking¡± the meeting in the rooms that are on. ? Determine which room will be the master/have the master logic when rooms are combined early. If it¡¯s a 3 way room, this is almost invariably the middle room for every scenario. (A+B = B Master, B+C = B Master, A+B+C = B Master). For other layouts this isn¡¯t always so easy and depends on the physical layout/attributes of each section. ? -- Lincoln King-Cliby, CTS, DMC-E-4K/T/D Commercial Market Director Sr. Systems Architect | Crestron Certified Master Programmer (Gold) ControlWorks Consulting, LLC Crestron Services Provider | Biamp Audia Certified | Extron Control Professional ?

Re: Combinable / Divisible Rooms
Just do it. Make sure you get all your combined scenarios before you start. Get it from the customer, not the engineer. I've been told by engineers one thing with 5 rooms that had like 7 different combine modes, assignable ATC, hot plug and of course all scenarios except combine all were wrong. I was pissed. As long as you get your thoughts clear before you start you shouldn't have problems. If I remember correctly Lincoln makes the user shut down the system before combining, I've never done it this way.. I always make it so the user can select whatever mode whether the room is on or not. Just make sure to block the user out from pushing buttons while you do all the mode set up and you will be good. Users love pushing buttons when you are the middle of calling a preset in a dsp or something, or going no I would rather combine this way and the system hasn't even finished processing the first selection from 2 seconds ago.

Re: Combinable / Divisible Rooms
Searched Conference center and found this thread. Had no idea it would be this old but here goes.?

Re: Controllable Mixer
I know this thread is old, but BSS BLU works great with 3 series. I was only looking at this because I was searching RANE HAL and trying to find anything related that anyone can share as far as support, controls and if unsolicited feedback is available. The demo from from their site seems very basic and no real module other than a small S+ that ramps volume 1000 steps. Other than that, I am totally a newbie on this product and need to get caught up like yesterday.?
Anybody work with RAN HAL before and share horror or dream stories? Thanks, Cyber |

Re: c2n-amp-4x100 dead?
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThanks for all the suggestions. It turns out to have been a dying old Squeezebox on one of the inputs via a Kramer switch. It looks as if it was working properly but when I disconnected it from the switch, everything came back to life. I guess I need to check the switch as well¡..Anyhow, thanks again.

Re: SIP camera to IPAD app
Jayson Small
I think Siedle ()?makes the Mobotix SIP door camera. Jayson From: <Crestron@...> on behalf of "ripper99@... [Crestron]" <Crestron@...> Reply-To: <Crestron@...> Date: Wednesday, February 3, 2016 at 1:48 PM To: <Crestron@...> Subject: [Crestron] Re: SIP camera to IPAD app ?
You can do this with Mobotix cameras and the Mobotix app however I am not so sure about integration with the Crestron app, I know some programmers were able to get a TPMC-4SM-FD working with the Mobotix T24/T25 doorstation but not sure about the other models. |

Re: Latest SWAMP firmware: Added doorbell feature capabilities
Andrew Welker
I'm not that familiar with the SWAMP, but have you checked if there is an option, either with toolbox or on the SIMPL symbol, to disable the amp power off? Seems to me this should be optional behavior and have a checkbox somewhere.
