So, whatever you plug the HDMI cable (and Vanco balun setup) into at the
equipment rack causes the loop to appear on any of the component sources

Subject: [Crestron] OT: Introducing HDMI to component distribution
(PVID/BIPAD) creates ground loop




Basically, the above. We've taken over an old analog distribution system,
and recently replaced an old Fujitsu plasma w/ a large Samsung LED unit. No
problem while on component distribution.

We were then asked to connect 'His Cable' to the new TV via HDMI as the
lead-in to a DM system. Pulled 2x Cat6 about 60' and used a Vanco balun to
accomplish this.

We now have a ground loop on component signals (additional cable boxes, BD,
AppleTV gen1) to the Samsung. No issue on the other TVs.

Disconnecting the HDMI from the cable box fixes the issue. Other cable
boxes/BD also reintroduce the loop. Have tried an isolator on the component
connections between the TV and the PVID, and the PVID and the cable box, no
change.

Any suggestions/fixes?

Hello All. I am the founder of HouseLogix, a Pennsylvania technology company. For those of you who monitor the Control4 world, you probably have heard of our VoicePod product by now. See www.voicepod.com. We are just launching VoicePod May 13th after three years of development and a successful six month beta program. We recently received a US Patent on VoicePod and have registered hundreds of dealers in the past few weeks.

In a nutshell, VoicePod is a new wireless device designed to "speech enable" any home automation system. Each VoicePod combines voice recognition (both speaker-dependent and speaker-independent) technology with speech-synthesis and text-to-speech technologies inside a small device with wireless communications. VoicePod is packaged as a wireless tabletop device with a built in speaker and microphone. But it can be wall mounted or rack mounted using external microphones and interface with external audio systems as well. All technology is embedded, so VoicePod recognizes commands instantly. Its voice commands and menus are completely customizable.

The first flavor of VoicePod provides both Zigbee support and serial integration through a built-in serial port. We are publishing VoicePod's serial integration protocol. We also have Wi-fi and iOS versions well underway that each will support full IP integration. I won't try to explain the whole product fully here since our website and videos do a good job of that. www.voicepod.com/faq has a lot of answers.

I'm here because we would like see some Crestron implementations of VoicePod. We are Control4 experts and Control4's DriverWorks tool allowed us to create very robust Control4 support for our launch. We have no expertise in Crestron (or AMX, Savant, etc) and are looking for some help with making sure our product finds its way into the Crestron world.

There seems to be a lot of Crestron expertise floating around this "colorful" forum so I thought I'd seek some partners and early adopters on here. Ideally, we're looking for experienced Creston dealers with a customers who want VoicePod. We'd like to work with some dealers to build a free (or marketable) Crestron module suitable for serial and/or IP integration with VoicePod. We would provide discounted hardware and a superb level of support to early adopters in the Crestron world.

Our product is a home run for both luxury living and for the disabled at the same time. If interested in working with us, feel free to email me at ted.rosenberger@

If I take the time to create a module for a specific projector, I would stop polling for everything but power status when it's off.

I have created a module for our Epson G5450 projectors. Everything seems to work but I have a couple questions.

1. When the projector is "Off", I get a ERR&#92;x0D when polling the projector, I will get the PWR=04&#92;x0D also, that shows that it's off. When the projector is "On" I only receive the PWR=01&#92;x0D response from the projector. I have the module set to pulse the "Proj is On" or the "Projector Is Off" based on the status returned from the polling. With this polling, my touch panel buttons are always in sync with the status of the projector On/Warmup/CoolDn/Off even if the projector in control by the IR remote. I see in the Crestron Module for the Epson G5650 (which uses the same commands) that they watch for the ERR or : (ack) but I can't figure out what they are doing when the response is received.

I created my own module so that I can monitor/control just what I need - Power On/Off, Pic Mute On/Off, Lamp Hours, Select HDMI Input

Does the ERR&#92;x0D response cause issues after polling for long periods of time?

2. I have noticed that after the projector has been Off over night, that it doesn't respond to the Power On command from the button press. After the first time the power on press makes the projector turn on almost immediately. I don't see any shut down/sleep timers that are set in the projector.

Thanks for any info you maybe able to share.

Hi!

Check this info about ex-link

Specially this!!!:

"As the TV uses 3.3V TTL levels, the serial input/output has to be converted to/from TTL levels to RS232 levels (~10-15V). Thus a level shifter is needed. But most computers today, doesn't have an RS232 port, so you also need a USB-to-RS232 serial adapter (cable). Thus its a definite advantage to buy a pre-fabricated USB-to-serial converter using 3.3 Volt TTL levels on the serial side. Common one to look for are based on the PL2303 and FTDI chips.
WARNING! RS232 levels are up to 15V, which can cause seriously damage at your TV!"

Instead of flying home from Vancouver, take the train across the Canadian

somewhere in the middle and rent a car for the drive home.

So now that my memory was just jogged, I've been meaning to post on here.

This Saturday I'm headed to Manhattan for the 6th time. However this is the first time where it's a purely personal trip, no work or visit to Rockleigh planned so I have more time in the city.

I'm looking for ideas on what to do on the Monday and Tuesday. I'm bringing a friend who's never been before and has a conference at Lincoln Center over the weekend.

Like I said, I've been 5 times before and done most of the touristy stuff already. Some of it ill do again just so she can go up the Empire State Building and so on. I'm more looking for less obvious things to do.

Clinton street bakery was recommended as a good breakfast spot. She's really into vegan/raw food so any places in Brooklyn or Manhattan that are good?

Also looking for something to do on Sunday night. I usually go see a standup show at Caroline's or Gotham, etc. but no one I'm super keen about is playing that night. Anyone know of a more "off broadway" spot that might have someone interesting on, or drop in?
