Re: Photoshop Alterntive

 

fireworks isnt available anymore i guess??

Basically been using cracked version of PS for years, and it wont run on windows 10 for me, so figured I would grow up and pay for it.?

But 20$ a month for something I use maybe 4 times a month??

There has to be something out there I can purchase out right...

If you have a Mac, try Pixelmator

If on Windows, Fireworks is great

I want to look into creating Themes but have been stopped at Step 1 :(

I assume it's supposed to be accessed from VT-Pro but it's grayed out. What do I need to do to activate it? Also, is there any Crestron documentation? (stop laughing!).
Re: Crestron Samsung EX-LINK Issues

 

This is an old post but I was just having this same issue. It came down to how the command is "built" in the SIMPL+ module. It takes the channel digit, multiplies it by 4, and then converts it into HEX. Well because HEX caps out at 255, any channels about 64 (technically 63.75) will start to have strange behavior. Here is the SIMPL+ code for reference:

if(DTV)
makestring(sChannelCommand, "\x08\x22\x04\x80%s%s", chr(iMainChannel * 4), chr(iSubChannel));


I'm trying to figure out why the module needs to multiply it by 4. It only does it for DTV and not ATV.

1. Has anybody tried getting rid of the "*4" and would the TV accept the command?
2. If the "*4" has to stay, how do you format longer channels in the string?

For example this is the string to go to channel 47.1:?\x08\x22\x04\x80\xBC\x01\x95
Does there need to be a "high channel"?

Hey guys,


I've got 5 (TSW) panels and a client wants an intercom system. I don't need a server if it's 8 or less panels, correct?

Any pointers? Gotchas?



Thank you,
Re: New Programmer

 

If you can afford it, buy an RMC3. If not, get a QM-RMC off of ebay (should be able to get one for under $50). You can do almost all of the entry level Smart Graphics stuff with it on an Xpanel or via the iPad/Android app. ?
Fusion Ovation control with 2 Series Processor

 

Does anyone have any experience with Controlling a Fusion Ovation OMS-3 using the Control Works Module? ?it says it is only compatible with 3 Series Processors. ?Talked to Control works and they said they have not tested in on a 2 series and couldn't guarantee it to work well. ?I would just try it and see but Im not that excited about spending 400 dollars for nothing.


Any additional info would be appreciated.


Thanks!
Re: New Programmer

 

LOL, I forgot that they made?some 2 series without Ethernet... yeah, that's no good for learning.?
Re: New Programmer

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

That¡¯s more or less my point ¨C no S+, no ACOMP2 (oh, how dearly do I love that symbol) ¨C forces you to be creative and understand what¡¯s going on under the hood. ?

?

There are a number of places where S+ is needed for string handling or ¡°advanced¡± math, but there are just as many places where S+ is used out of laziness. For example, it is entirely possible to build a Request to Speak Queue with ¡°management¡± (swapping users, removing a user from the middle, etc.) entirely in SIMPL, but I usually do it in S+ because it¡¯s faster. But doing it in SIMPL can really illustrate the relationships between logic waves and serial behavior.

Re: New Programmer

 

It's my opinion that ?you should learn how to code without having access to S+ because you'll learn better habits that won't bite you from being spoiled with some of what S+ can do.

This conversation is different now that S#Pro is in the wild but I don't think that is the OPs level.? By that I mean, if the OP were a traditional software developer with OO programming experience, then a 3-series is a MUST. But if you're coming from scratch, the ST-CP is a great box to learn on.

Agreed.? While there's obviously some value in being forced to use the basics on an older processor like the ST-CP, a programmer really needs to learn how to use the more current facilities that are available in order to deliver a real solution to the client.
