Re: Sports Bar

 

Media Servers:
For sure, Kaleidescape does this.
I'm sure Request devices would too. I've only worked with their older
audio-only devices.

On the cheaper end, XBMC would have the most integration. Never used it
though.

Standalone:
Any DVD/Bluray player with a serial port will provide this feedback.

Hello everyone. We have a client that would like to play classic sports
events thru the A/V system on a predetermined time. The system would dim
the lights, play the sports media, and once completed switch the lights,
inputs, and outputs back to their previous state. The programming is not
the issue, the issue is the "media device" that would give us feedback as
to when the media has stopped. Has anyone done anything similar or could
point us in the right direction as far as the "media device". Thank you

When creating a project on VTPro for an iPad Mini, does anything have to be done like resize graphics, Pages, resolution anything?

Resolution is the same only the size is different..

Re: Win XP support

 

Thanks everybody for the advice.

Yea I installed 32 bit XP. Ive been using it on a 64 bit laptop for a while and im happy.

To compare Win 7 and XP you MUST compare on the same hardware. Ive done that for years. Ive been using various Toshiba Tecra laptops for years and they have the ability to use dual hard drives, one even hot swap. At power on you can choose from either HD to boot from. So I have SSD's in both slots. One has Win 7 and one XP. Both are fully supported on my current Tecra M9. 2.7Ghz, 4GB ram ( high performance ram )( only 3GB seen by XP 32).. I do a virgin install of the OS -NOT A OEM RESTORE- with all the crap on it. Both my Win 7 and XP are virgin clean installs from purchased full copies of windows with no programs or crap at all. I use msconfig and trim start up programs and services to just whats needed. I then use Deepfreeze to lock the install so every time I boot its as clean as it was from day one. Deepfreeze also allows me to not run a virus program as any virus would just go away with a reboot.

Flipping between the 2 is a clear difference. Even on simple web browsing using the same browser. Page elements kinda drop into place one by one quickly visually on Win 7 and on XP its just boom - the whole page is instantly rendered. Its also obviously faster flipping thru pages. I think all the DNS lookups and network interactions are not as snappy on Win 7. I do have a crazy networking setup at home tho so my internet connection is might zippy.

I think the big advantage XP has over Win 7 is footprint. My XP has 29 processes running and 131MB of ram in use at boot. Win 7 is a magnitude more stuff running and memory taken up. This is with careful trimming out of unused junk. Lots of use of msconfig. I think all this extra code and extra processes drag down its speed simply because there is a LOT more code for everything to get thru.

For my use its perfect. Both are fully supported on this laptop so I just boot what i need - however I never use Win 7. I also have a real RS232 port.

As there is nothing wrong with XP and in fact its very mature and debugged April 9 2014 will be a sad day. It will be interesting what Crestron does. I hope I can continue to use XP for a while yet.

Re: CHV-TSTAT force "extended" run times?

 

Thanks -- apparently I need to refresh my memory of the "Anticipator"'s function -- Cool was at 6 [though I swear, other than FW updates I haven't touched the state since it was installed.

I knocked it down a bit and the frequency of cool calls has dropped -- but of course, today everything is overcast and relatively cool anyway so it's hard to be positive...

If I recall correctly, there are heating and cooling 'anticipators' in the setup screen on the tstat. Sounds like the cooling one may be set a bit too aggressively.

--- In Crestron@..., Lincoln King-Cliby <lincoln@...> wrote:

So my house has started running "cool" cycles for the year and I'm noticing that the cycle times seem much shorter and more frequently than prior years and actually if I look at the temps the temp is 1-2 degrees above the setpoint within a few seconds of the cool cycle ending. (I can't say I've ever noticed that before - but cycle times haven't bothered me before either)

The TSTAT is admittedly not in a great place -- it's where the HVAC contractor/prior owner put the old school Honeywell stat - but since all of the other walls on this floor are either exterior, a common wall with my next door neighbor, or have a fireplace/plasma on them I can't really do much better. (Also: Whomever designed the HVAC system was, IMO, smoking crack - there's only one return in the house and it's on the first floor of a 3-story townhome)

Is there any way to force the TSTAT to make the cool call longer / reduce the number of cycles? I'd much rather a longer cool cycle and have it overshoot the setpoint by a degree or five than have it firing every 10 minutes or so.

Or am I barking up the wrong tree in the first place?

Re: OT - HDBaseT alternatives

From what I am told, they use a visually lossless compression. Something
like one pixel per million is lost in the compression. This could be some
salesman myth, but that is what they tell me. I have had some televisions
try to enhance the picture when it didn't need to be enhanced. A TV setting
fixed that no problems.

Re: Win XP support

 

Yes, by virtue of it being 32 bit. The 64 bit version of XP would not be, but that's a whole other set of issues.

Aren't you still limited to 3 or 4gb of ram with XP? I can't remember what the limit was.

You can also disable all the xtras of win7 and get it a little faster. But if you have a new laptop and plenty of cpu and ram you should not have any problems. I have come to really like win7 pro.

I don't know that I've heard an "official" answer -- and in all likelihood it will continue to work even after support is ended -- but unless they've changed the requirements for Studio are W7 64-bit so while current tools are XP OK, the new tools -- if they're ever ready for prime time -- will not be supported on XP.

That said, I'm running XP on my work desktop (and personal laptop and personal desktop) & W7 Pro on my work laptop -- the work laptop is only slightly newer than the work desktop and it feels so much faster and more usable than the desktop. [and I find myself trying to do the WinKey+Left and WinKey+Right shortcuts on XP far too often] -- so it might be worth digging into your configuration and looking or any differences that may be contributing to your "slowness"

Re: Win XP support

 

Speaking purely for myself, my home machine was about the same response level going to 7. At this point, I'm not going back to XP, ever. Can't say the same for work machines, since going to 7 meant a new machine.

A lot of people say that 8 actually seems much more responsive than 7 does for general usage. The biggest problem with 8 is that interface, but many guys I know use "classic shell" and have something much more like they're used to. My metric for an OS working is when a lot of games work (since games are pretty intensive, both in graphics drivers and the main processor), and a lot of gamers I know say 8 works great with most of their games.

Again, as always, everyone's mileage varies.

I'm sticking with 7 for quite some time. I only moved to 7 at the end of 2011.

You know what would be really cool. If Crestron supported some version of *nix. Thats a class of stunningly stable OS'. But that will never happen.

While I hate Apple, you Applers should be using XP for your VM as it will produce a faster more stable environment.

I would be happy with Win 7 if it was not quite noticeably slower then XP. Even simple web browsing using the same browser, on the same hardware using the same SSD model is quite a bit less responsive using Win 7. Of course win 8 is just incredibly stupid and pointless, even if its the new Windows Blue.

I love XP. It will be sad to be forced to use 7.
Re: Win XP support

 

I seriously doubt older tools like SIMPL and Vtpro will drop XP support.

A given runtime distribution still supports it, and assuming microsoft doesn't somehow block that runtime from working on the newer OS's (or they change the runtime, which would involve a new version of Visual Studio most likely, and while I"m not Crestron, I can't see that happening for the older tools).

Studio, as we know, only supports 7 and up.
