My current project has a CP2E (3.088), 4 LC1000s (5.058) and an Audio
Request Nitro (1.8.5). I loaded the ARQ 4.1.5 single zone audio
request demo program and converted the ARQ 4.1.0 CT1000 vtpro file to
an LC1000 type. I configured an ethernet interface between the CP2E
and the ARQ box. When I go to the browse page and select Artist or
Album (anything with a long list) and press the down arrow it works
fine as long as I press the button in the center. If I press the
button on it's perimeter it locks the button high causing the
interface to scroll uncontrollably. It is not a press and hold it is
just a tap. I first discovered this behavior in my program then tried
it with the ARQ demo program and got the same results. I get the same
behavior on the two different LC1000s that I tried it on. Has anyone
else seen this kind of behavior on the LC1000 or any other panel? Any
ideas as to how to resolve this? Thanks.

I am trying to control a sony BDP-S185 BVD via the ir port on a CP2E. I used DEAL to get my codes and created an IR File. I have my TP buttons going thru a MOS then straight to my IR inputs. I have changed the time on the MOS from 1t, 0.5s, 1s and 1.5s and it does not work. Of course the BVD works with the remote. I am sure my bug is working because I can see it flash red when I push a button.

Does anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong?

Hello All :-)

For our crestron IT backbone, we've been using Pakedge routers, switches, access points and their virtual kit lately.

Occasionally, we seem to be having network issues at clients homes and apartments. Its not often but does seem to happen.

I am trying to narrow it down whether its a problem on our side with running wires / terminating ends properly etc.

Has anyone else had hardware issues with Pakedge gear?

Thanks in advance,
Bill

Have a number of DM systems in the field with multiple Kscape players without issue. 16x16, 8x8 and a 6x4 are all running smooth with no special setup/config. All firmware revisions are up to date. I think all of the players are the M-class as well.

Have you tested the Kscape stuff locally? K-scape lock ups are usually a networking issue between the server and the players. I'm sure you have them on their own isolated gigabit network?

I've also have had some bad DM input cards in the past that have given me some weird results, maybe try playing with that.

I was having an issue on a job where we had 2 KScape players being switched through a 16X16. One of the players would have HDCP issues that would prevent the source from being displayed throughout the house, but the other player was fine. I updated the firmware on the DM, specifically the HD-DSP input card, to 2.37.02, and the problem went away.

The problem came back again on its own, and reloading the same firmware into the HD-DSP card fixed it for a while, but once again, it came back on its own.

A couple weeks ago I went back and I updated the firmware in the DM to Puf 2.44.01, and I haven't seen the problem come back yet. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

That's the only issue I have experienced out of the 4 DM/KScape jobs we've done.

Are there any known issues with Kaleidescape and DM?

We have a client who has a Kaleidescape system that keeps "locking up"... Kaleidescape says that they have seen a bunch of issues with their product talking to DM. Can anybody confirm, and if so offer work arounds?

Thanks.

Hmmm,

On the spec sheets for the prodigy dimmers, there is a "P-RFGW-EX" listed as a compatible gateway - along with the PMC2, PMC3, etc.

I just can't seem to find that product. Maybe was an "intended" product.

Hi,

I assume I know the answer to this, but wanted to confirm. I've done some
testing to confirm, but still wanted to check.

I am working on a PMC3-XP and I'm getting close to the light switch limit
for the onboard EX GW.

I can add a CEN-RFGW to the XP but it doesn't seem like the Prodigy
switches will connect to the CEN-RFGW.

Can someone confirm that these (i.e. P-DIMEX or P-LDIMEX) will NOT work
with the CEN-RFGW-EX?

Lastly, if I want to expand the EX capability of the prodigy, what is the
part number for that unit? I cannot seem to find out what that is.

If I understand what you are asking correctly you can not use a CEN-RFGW for Prodigy. And I am unaware of any way to expand the ex capability of the prodigy line which is part of its limitation. You can add plenty of CLW- EX Switches and dimmers to a CEN-RFGW like you would in a regular crestron line product.

I hate to ask, but does anyone have a simpl only module they are willing to share that takes into account the "OK" or "ERR" fb that the displays provide before you give fb from the module? I just don't have the time right now to invest in creating my own.

Yes, that happened. It will again tonight.

It does state the queries in the manual.

It's not laid out well in the documentation. Basically there's one line that says many of the commands can be followed with ????&#92;r ?&#92;x20&#92;x20&#92;x20&#92;r and will return the current value.

Of course it's a PITA that the response is only the value with nothing to parse as reference it to. It means you have to track the specific order you query in and associate the response with the order in which it was received. The usual catch all gather scheme goes out the window.

This may have been covered in a previous post or not. Did you guys know that a sharp will respond with a 1 or o when you send:

"POWR????&#92;x0D"

There are also other query commands that I did not know about:

"INPS????" input
"DVSL????" dvi select
"BNSL????" bnc select
"WIDE????" aspect
"MUTE????" mute
"LOSD????" on-screen display
"VOLM????" volume
"VLMP????" brightness

Why doesn't sharp list them with the rest in the manual?

Yes the module does, but they are using simpl+ to accomplish this, and I
have had the worst luck out of most crestron modules. They poll way too
much, and they even poll when you don't enable polling. So I only use them
when I don't have a choice. Did I mention that they use way too much
simpl+. You put enough of the simpl+ modules in and you tank your processor
speed. As you can tell I love their modules. :)

Thanks for the suggestion. I will get to making one after the first of the
year, maybe. LOL. I really think I am buried until the end of January at
this point.

Two options come to mind:

If switching response times of several minutes are okay, then a channel can
be created for each stream, playing a single media item (the content
stream) (assuming Scala supports the format, good luck). Channels can then
be changed for each player via the web interface (easy way, manual) or the
web API (more difficult, but possible, usable via Crestron). However it
will take several minutes for the change to propagate as the player has to
check in with the server, pull the new content, and switch over.

If you need switching times measured in seconds, then a ScalaScript can be
created in Designer with one page for each stream, and a Python or VBScript
listening for TCP commands from Crestron to tell it which page to display.
All players then play the same channel/script, and Crestron connects to
each player to tell it what to show.

Scala has their own training and certification classes, and the learning
curve is nearly as steep as Crestron and AMX. I would highly recommend
bringing someone else in who knows what they're doing. Depending on the
project, Scala may be able to provide programming assistance. Are you a
Scala dealer?

Jeremy,

I'm told that there are 6 streams of content and 6 zones in the building.
Each zone has multiple screens that are considered a group. The client
wants to be able to send any stream to any zone(s). The equipment is
already installed and functioning in a public space, so I have to work 6pm
to 8am, which means no access to tech support during my shift.

I signed up for Scala's support wiki but haven't received a login email so
I literally know nothing about how this product works other than it
supporting TCP/IP connection for Crestron Integration (according to their
heavily non-technical, marketing driven website).

In a strange ironic twist, Crestron released a module for vbrick
yesterday. Oh well.

Anything you can offer would be greatly appreciated as I have less than a
week to figure this out...

?

So we have a client who's had a number of DTV boxes working just fine with the USB/RS232 dongle.

We did not configure the system originally and are a bit unfamiliar with controlling them this way.

Long story short, 1 of the boxes was having some kind of trouble and a Direct TV tech came out the other day & fixed whatever the issue was. Problem is this box is no longer taking RS232 commands.

Is there some sequence of "mounting" the USB dongles to these boxes. I'm wondering if the DTV guy perhaps did some kind of a factory reset which may have wiped out the connection to the USB dongle.

All the other boxes are running the same firmware and have taken their firmware updates with no incident.

Any help is appreciated.
