Re: Soundstructure 1.2 via IP - won't connect with DSP

 

It's been years but it was TCP/IP Client using port 52774
We ended up adding a variety?of things to the feedback processor, like the ability to slow the polling so that it was easy to see outgoing polls and responses grouped together. That helps with trying to find a bad VIrtual Name once you actually connect.

I know it's not much to go on. Still gathering info about this.?
Any insight would be appreciated.?

I'm unaware of any document offhand, but right clicking the .exe and setting "Properties > Compatibility > Run this program in compatiblity mode for > Windows 7 (or Vista)" would probably be the recommendation.

As far as ensuring the program is launched on Win10 startup, you'd want to make sure a shortcut is added to "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp" (refer to?)

Hi folks.
I'd like to be more educated and updated into newest trends.

Hi Thorsten,?

i remeber that there was a document from TrueBlue which lined out some settings/registry changes so that this would also run on more recent Windows versions, maybe you want to reach out to them.?

StreamDeck Integration

 

Hi All
has anyone done any work on integration with StreamDeck?
Specifically, having a way for a StreamDeck button press to trigger an event in Crestron/SMW...

TIA!


Re: SW-VMK-WIN

 

OK - thanks, Tony.
Strange i didn?t get it to work.
I?m using now MCE and it seems to do the trick. EventGhost can do even more, but it?s also more complex and would be overkill for this job.

Cheers,
Thorsten

FYI, I used VMK-WIN on a couple of projects last year, with PCs running Windows 10. Although it worked okay for the simple functions I needed, MCE Controller and EventGhost looked a lot more flexible.

I?m not familiar with MCE, but EventGhost ()
is bidirectional and can trigger events to the outside world.

Re: Horizon HZ-KPCN and HZ-KPEX on PAC2 and how do your remove the buttons.

 

I used a group (about 25) of HZ-KPCNwith a PAC2M and works fine. I only used the cresnet model, not the infinet.?


to remove the buttons use a mini plane screwdriver, and on the long sides, there's a small entry to the screwdriver.

Horizon HZ-KPCN and HZ-KPEX on PAC2 and how do your remove the buttons.

 

I have an old PAC2 system (programmed in SIMPL) that I am suppose to add a number HZ-KPCN and HZ-KP keypads along with a CEN-GWEXER.? SIMPL lets me add these devices to program but I am a little concern that there may be issues with using them on a Series 2.? Has anyone used these devices with a Series 2 processor and did they work okay?

Also, how do you get the buttons off to replace them with engrave buttons?? I removed the face plate and the sub face plate.? But I cannot get the buttons off -- afraid I might break them if I apply too much force.

Thanks,
Steve


Re: TCP Client Stopped working

 

hi Michael,
I think my situation is different than what you're dealing with...
I just had a TCP client stop communicating and would not keep trying to re-connect.
Since rebooting the processor, we haven't had any issues (??). It was suggested that I set up a routine that periodically tests the connection and toggle the 'CONNECT' input if things are down for X time.
I haven't gotten to this as I don't have regular connection to this site.?
I assume that if I changed to a websocket, this would also 'solve' the potential issues...

Alternatively, It'd be great for Crestron to fix this kind of thing - In 20+ years of using TCP clients I've not had this issue personally, so it is very unusual I think...


Re: TCP Client Stopped working

 

I'm curious what the results were to your testing. ?I'm having a somewhat similar issue with a HTTP GET that is used for polling. ?I've been running on CP3 with both 1.6 and 1.8 FW and had the same results. ?If you look at the NETSTAT command you see sockets ESTABLISHED, WAITING, etc. ?The start port seems to be around 48xxx and when the counter gets to about 59xxx there are no more ports. ?I would thing the garbage collector in the OS would recycle these ports but no love. ?Ive seen this happen with S+ direct connections and S# GET with identical results. ?The only fix seems to be rebooting the proc :( ?I'm doing the same stress testing on a PRO4 and the start port is around 12xxx so the testing is taking quite a bit longer.

any ideas?


Re: Converting AMX Module to Crestron Module

 

I think my module would deal specificallu with the Antex sirius XM unit and is RS232. I saw the words triplePlay, which is what they call that, so I don't think it would help...


Re: Converting AMX Module to Crestron Module

 

It is a TriplePlay Server that communicates to each TriplePlay Play3R-SP1 signage players. Uses JSON for all communication. Working on creating control via C# but just not adverse in C# yet.

I would look at any module to get me going in the right direction.


Re: Converting AMX Module to Crestron Module

 

Hi Brad,
I'm thinking that there's no easy way to convert. probably the best way is to have both open side by side and just copy/paste the concepts into SMW

If you're talking about the Antex SRX-3 Sirius TriplePlay unit, I may have an old module to at least get you started...LMK


Converting AMX Module to Crestron Module

 

Has anyone or is it not worth the headache to attempt to take AMX Netlinx Studio Code and convert to Crestron.

AMX already has a TriplePlay Server Module but not able to find a Crestron version anywhere.


Re: Replacement for multichannel amplifier

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Hi Angel,

?

the Dayton Audio i?m using is pretty simple ¨C no Crestron control involved.

I?m using the input sense functionality of the amplifier, so each zone independently powers up when music playback starts.

The amplifier can also be turned on using a 12V trigger, but that would fire up all zones which i don?t want to.

?

HTH

Thorsten

Hello all,

Thorsten, how did you controll the Dayton Audio amp, just commands or with some module?

I'm just started a project using a Dayton Audio amplifier, but I haven't found any module for it yet. Would you share something I can use for make it work?


Thank you, Angel.
