Re: Hdmi CEC injection

 

That's good to hear, but the rest of the DM line still doesn't support it, unfortunately.? This makes it difficult to do things like share an AppleTV 4K with multiple rooms if 1 or more has a Dolby Vision capable display.

I don't have any experience with the NVX line, and am unlikely to use it in my system.? I've wondered what the NVX solutions do to video quality - whether it truly maintains original quality or uses some form of (even slightly) lossy compression.

Thanks,
Geoff

New NVX firmware added support for it. Just thought you should know.?


Re: Control 4 - C4-AMP108 - 16 Channel Amplifier - Quality?

 

I have an RTI 16i amplifier running my house. I had to use it due to rack space, it¡¯s 16ch, 1RU and 9¡± deep. Not the greatest of amps but can easily keep
up with the snapav stuff.?

you can get them from any distribution that carries RTI these days.

Did they announce plans to upgrade the tsw to android 7.0 to fix it or some other type of fix? ? I missed that webinar?

Re: PAD8 alternatives

 

Why did they get rid of the PAD8A in the first place? It could not have been very expensive to build. Simple to program, works without a fuss, starts up instantly.

These comments are all very helpful. ?I've gone into the Simpl module. ?There are things in the program that do not connect to the module. ?I think the previous programmer must have upgraded the module when he upgraded the firmware on the TSTAT. ?The existing module does have a force digital and force analog area. ?It looks like there is a separate module for each thermostat. ?I could just add the signals. ?My other thought is to just delete the ambiguous signals. ?

Sounds to me like the HVAC module was set to compile only for a Series 2 and not a Series 3.? Try opening the HVAC modules (SIMPL and SIMPL+) and set the compile settings to both Series 2 and Series 3 and then recompile.

If worst comes to worst, you can take all those undeclared signals and put force analog or force series or a force digital symbol on them.

For SIMPL+, there are some differences between the Series 2 and Series 3.? So you may have to do some rewriting of the code to get them to work on a Series 3.? There are also some cases with SIMPL symbols working slightly differently between the Series 2 and Series 3.? Might be easier just to replace the HVAC module with one that you know works on a Series 3.

Green is ambiguous ¨C the symbol on the other end can take either a serial or analog and the compiler doesn¡¯t have enough information to figure out which you intended it to be.

?

A lot of times this is actually due to an underlying dependency that is missing (e.g. a SIMPL+ module inside a .UMC that the USP/USH is missing for) or cascades of analog/serial buffers that at one point the compiler figured out [largely in the order symbols were connected] but when it reevaluated everything as part of the processor swap it just kind of threw up its hands and said ¡°you figure it out¡±

?

If you¡¯re sure you aren¡¯t missing anything, a Analog Force (AFORCE) or Serial Force (SFORCE), as appropriate, connected to the signal will remove the ambiguity. In the case of cascading logic forcing the first signal in the path should take care of all of the down-stream signals but you can individually force them if you prefer to do it that way too.

Re: PAD8 alternatives

 

I still think its ridiculous that Crestron can make all these different HDMI switching widgets but refuse to give us a modern PAD8 replacement in the form of a simple analog audio matrix. How hard could it be???

Re: Crestron Home vs. Original Simpl and VT

 

Hi Steve,

I think your opinion here might change with some hands-on experience.? Personally, I'm not on the "cloud" bandwagon ("cloud is the name for someone else's computer" etc. etc.) but in this case, your worries are baseless.

Drivers *can* be downloaded from the Crestron driver portal which is currently 1st party driver only, but they are talking about making it available to 3rd party driver developers too.? However, there is a manual way to "sideload" drivers for Home which is purely old-skool (SFTP) and doesn't need the Internet.

Of course, in a dystopian future where Crestron have given up on Home and moved onto something more shiny(*), then customers have bigger issues than whether they can download an updated TV driver to be honest, but the current Crestron Home architecture *uses* the cloud rather than being *bound* to it.

(* I'm not going to argue that this hasn't happened a number of times before, but Crestron have put a LOT into Home and - my personal position with experience in all of Crestron's tools for the past 15 years - Crestron Home has a lot more going for it than previous attempts).

@MSTC - Crestron Home *IS* Pyng.? It's just the next step in the evolution of the product.? I'm kind of glad people have stopped talking about OS2/OS3 now too as it wasn't helpful having so many names for - essentially - the same things, not to mention the namespace clash with Control4.

Your correct lol Denon.??

However I did not see any IP modules mostly just IR.

I did not check application market, I worked out the code anyway.? Appreciate the response of course.
