indirect text from file on memory card

 

Hi all,
This may be a stupid question, but is there an easy way to get a name list to appear (indirect text) from a file on a memory card (file system)
I want to get a series of buttons named dynamically ie: easily change them without going into programming.
For the life of me I can't recall how to do this.
Any help is apreciated.
Thanks,

Re: OT! (Completely!) - Wakeboarding System

Metric all the way, buddy! And if it weren't a one-off, I would've done an embedded system. If someone actually buys the system, I'm sure I will convert it. Windows is not an RTOS. I've been playing with the mBed system. It would be great for something like that.


Is that in metric or imperial butt-loads?

Any reason you didn't use a microcontroller for the brain? I hate
seeing PCs used for control systems. I'm not sure how many I/Os you
need, but something like a Basic Stamp, PICaxe, or Arduino should be
more than able to handle it, and will be solid state, low power, and
idiot-proof (especially important if you start reselling these
things).

Hello Group!

Has anyone ever tried to use a versiport to control the level attenuation on the JL Audio MHD series amps? There is a 4 pin telco jack that connects to the JL Audio HD-RLC (remote level control) device and I am being asked can we control a sub level via this port from Crestron.

Any ideas? Success stories?

TIA,

Re: Security DVR / Streaming - Follow up

Does anyone know of a DVR with HDMI output that also can put out a more-than-SD h.264 stream?

Similarly, how about a device that does HDMI --> h.264 streaming? Not looking for full frame-rate here, just better resolution.

That is amazing dude. What platform are you using? Windows/Mac/*nix?
What language? I have designed some data analysis systems using Linux,

were the days...

You could totally market and sell that as a full time gig. I know someone
who would be interested. Did you have to do much paperwork with your

Compiled for 2-series and dropped in the updated module and everything worked fine.

FYI, I also found that the logic for all occupancy sensors has been reversed somehow with the latest update, so hopefully they'll fix that as well.

Re: DMC-HD card blocks CEC commands

 

From what I could tell it is more of an EDID issue than a CEC issue.

I had an installation where something similar (but using a 32x32 and connecting the camera to a DM-TX-201-S). No camera control.

Tie the CEC lines together. No camera control. (Nor was there any activity on the CEC serials, including rebooting the codec, the camera, both, etc.)

Try using standard CEC commands and sending them to the camera. No camera control.

Poking around the menus, I realized the CODEC doesn't think it has a LifeSize camera connected to it.

As near as I can tell the LifeSize is looking at the manufacturer/model strings reported to determine if there is a LifeSize camera connected and if it should attempt to control it.

When it sees the "CEI" (Crestron) manufacturer instead of the "LSC" it believes that it's connected to something other than a camera and doesn't even try to control it.

I called Crestron and they weren't positive but believed that was most likely the issue and said that the only way to fix it is to get DM out of the equation since there's no way to force DM to impersonate another manufacturer or pass through that information.

I didn't place the call to LifeSize but my understanding was the conversation ended with "Not a supported configuration".

Crestron recommended the HD-TX1-F and HD-RX1-F since those are (according to TB) entirely passive so should be transparent to both the camera and the CODEC, however, the Dealer elected to try a Geffen piece instead and as far as I know it is still backordered.

Unfortunately neither of those allow for the what the Consultant wanted to do -- distributing the camera as a source to the building -- but it was determined to be an acceptable solution as distributing the camera wasn't critical for my project.

HTH,

Lincoln

Subject: [Crestron] DMC-HD card blocks CEC commands

I have a Lifesize codec and a Lifesize 10x camera, HDMI output from the camera feeding a DM8x8 switcher DMC-HD card. Then using the HDMI loop out of the card into the codec. The video signal is great, but no control over the camera when looping thru the card. Bypassing the DMC-HD card and feeding the camera directly into the codec restores control.

I am assuming the Lifesize codec controls the camera via CEC commands thru the HDMI signal path. Any idea how to unblock the CEC commands thru the DMC-HD?

Re: Digital Watchdog Vmax480 Control

 

Has anyone been able to get this to work?

I finally have one that needs to be controlled via RS-232 or 485 (or IP if it's possible), and the commands from the document don't seem to work.

DW's tech support assures me the commands *do* work on the DVR, but I don't really trust them. Whenever I ask a seemingly simple technical question, they keep repeating "we've sent Crestron our SDK", which really doesn't mean anything :-)

Thanks in advance.

if i remember all cec command are break out in dm switcher, you need to attached the corresponding signal name from your input to your ouput device.

look in the dm switcher symbol.
