Re: Control 4 - C4-AMP108 - 16 Channel Amplifier - Quality?

 

+1 to the RTI CP-16i it’s plenty of power, sounds good, runs cool and only about 10 inches deep. Pretty reasonable price wise also.

Issues with Sonos & Crestron

 

Have had 3 projects today suddenly lose the ablity for the Crestron to control the volume of Sonos equipment using the official module v.3.1.0.

I know there was a large update to S2 a few days ago which im assuming these projects have auto updated to.

Can anybody confirm if they've got issues or if their systems are all good?

Thanks

We?re doing high end cinemas. With a 200“ screen with 4K@60 4:2:2 you?ll see the difference. For these use cases we always do local attached sources, wouldn?t use NVX for that.

The Crestron ?pixel perfect“ is fine for Powerpoint presentations, not for movie content. ?

?

For everything around 85“ and below, NVX should be fine.

FWIW even the 10G solutions do some compression, just at 10G you can to 4K in “mathematically lossless” vs “visually lossless”

?

That said, at least for the use cases I’ve seen NVX applied I haven’t seen anything objectionable. Most of the content outside of medical/government/aerospace has already been compressed and decompressed enough times that one more squash can’t really do that much to it.

There are certainly specific cases (fine detail, sustained rapid changes, etc.) where visually lossless falls apart and mathematically lossless is the way to go – but those usually aren’t involving discussions of CEC ;)

It does lossy compression, otherwise it wouldn?t be possible to get it over a 1GB link.

At least for video content.

AFAIR it uses MPEG2000.

That's good to hear, but the rest of the DM line still doesn't support it, unfortunately.? This makes it difficult to do things like share an AppleTV 4K with multiple rooms if 1 or more has a Dolby Vision capable display.

I don't have any experience with the NVX line, and am unlikely to use it in my system.? I've wondered what the NVX solutions do to video quality - whether it truly maintains original quality or uses some form of (even slightly) lossy compression.

Re: Hdmi CEC injection

 

I had a hunch it had to use some sort of lossy compression.

Of course, the HDBase-T technology that DM uses doesn't have unlimited bandwidth either.? From what I've read it's limited to 10Gbps or 16Gbps, depending on which generation of the chipset is being used.? It sounds like 16Gbps may allow for uncompressed 4K60 4:4:4 because it doesn't have the 20% overhead that HDMI itself has, but earlier versions of HDBase-T need to use a form of lossy compression to handle 18Gbps signals.

Re: Long_Integer to Integer assignment warning

 

So I've been running across this NOTICE quite a bit recently and wasn't able to quite track down where this NOTICE was coming from.? It doesn't exactly give you an idea of which module and in programs with tons of modules, its a little difficult.? I finally got a little time to try and track this puppy down and low and behold it is coming from this module:

Media Server Object Router v4.0 (cm)

This has been a new one since some sort of update Im sure, but given which databases we can use and which we can't update to yet, has anyone run across this and/or a fix for this?? I wasn't sure if the newer databases have a newer version for this, but I can't exactly update to those databases as it breaks more things than is worth currently.

you can get them from any distribution that carries RTI these days.

Re: PAD8 alternatives

 

Why did they get rid of the PAD8A in the first place? It could not have been very expensive to build. Simple to program, works without a fuss, starts up instantly.


Re: Compile error - must be declared as digital, analog, or serial.

 

These comments are all very helpful. ?I've gone into the Simpl module. ?There are things in the program that do not connect to the module. ?I think the previous programmer must have upgraded the module when he upgraded the firmware on the TSTAT. ?The existing module does have a force digital and force analog area. ?It looks like there is a separate module for each thermostat. ?I could just add the signals. ?My other thought is to just delete the ambiguous signals. ?


Re: Compile error - must be declared as digital, analog, or serial.

Sounds to me like the HVAC module was set to compile only for a Series 2 and not a Series 3.? Try opening the HVAC modules (SIMPL and SIMPL+) and set the compile settings to both Series 2 and Series 3 and then recompile.

If worst comes to worst, you can take all those undeclared signals and put force analog or force series or a force digital symbol on them.

For SIMPL+, there are some differences between the Series 2 and Series 3.? So you may have to do some rewriting of the code to get them to work on a Series 3.? There are also some cases with SIMPL symbols working slightly differently between the Series 2 and Series 3.? Might be easier just to replace the HVAC module with one that you know works on a Series 3.

Re: Compile error - must be declared as digital, analog, or serial.

Green is ambiguous – the symbol on the other end can take either a serial or analog and the compiler doesn’t have enough information to figure out which you intended it to be.

?

A lot of times this is actually due to an underlying dependency that is missing (e.g. a SIMPL+ module inside a .UMC that the USP/USH is missing for) or cascades of analog/serial buffers that at one point the compiler figured out [largely in the order symbols were connected] but when it reevaluated everything as part of the processor swap it just kind of threw up its hands and said “you figure it out”

?

If you’re sure you aren’t missing anything, a Analog Force (AFORCE) or Serial Force (SFORCE), as appropriate, connected to the signal will remove the ambiguity. In the case of cascading logic forcing the first signal in the path should take care of all of the down-stream signals but you can individually force them if you prefer to do it that way too.
