SIMPL-Windows: not able to add more than 4.000 joins to touchpanel
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi, i?m a bit confused at the moment¡ Just working in SIMPL Windows and wanted to add some more (digital) joins to a TS-1542 symbol by pressing ¡°alt¡±-¡°+¡± as usual. However, i?m not able to add more than 4.000 joins, it just nothing happens. ? Is there any limitation set somewhere? I?m sure it?s possible to have more than 4.000 joins with a touchpanel¡. ? Cheers, Thorsten |

Google Chromebox Integration with Crestron
Hello,
I wanted to test the waters and see how some folks have accomplished integrating a Google Meet Chromebox into a Crestron. From what I've seen on reddit, serial to USB seems to be the only real way of accomplishing this. If anybody has had a successful integration of a Google Meet Chromebox into a Crestron system, could you please share your implementation strategy? What products you've tested, which ones worked better than others?? Anything would be helpful, Thanks in advance |

Re: PRO3 to PRO4
You know when Crestron Mobile first came out, you used a SIMPL/SIMPL+ module to talked to it.? That module was missing analog values however but if I remember correctly, I was able to add it to the module when the App supported it.? I believe I still have some systems out there that still use it.? The interface used a simple XML interface.? So it may still be possible to use Crestron Mobile on a Series 4 if you resurrect that module.? The module did talk to the iPad via a special TCP server socket however it may still work with a standard TCP server interface.?? A bigger concern however it that app may be removed from the App store eventually or there may be some iOS update that will break it.? In which case it may kill it from the other end too.

Re: POLL: Host-Names vs IP Addresses
#poll-notice
Static IPs for Crestron and devices it talks to for us.? Will work even if the router fails or someone changes the subnet.? Hostname are just another thing that can fail and it won't work between subnets in most cases.
Hostname with a .local suffix is another option that uses mutlicast instead of broadcast -- but not all devices support it.? But at least is can work across subnets if things are set up correctly. I usually also create a DHCP reservation in the router for each static IP device.? That way if someone switches it back to DHCP, things continue to work plus it helps document where the static IPs are. |

PRO3 to PRO4
I have a client with 13 instances of Crestron Mobile on an otherwise perfectly functioning system. ?The GUI is custom for the location. ?The processor was damaged during some sort of battery backup failure. ?Am I still unable to just sell them a PRO4, slap it in there and be on my merry way? ?Or is Crestron still forcing us to upgrade every UI in the system or buy one from Ebay to get things back up and running? ?What has typically been a fairly straightforward affair is now going to be a very expensive one. ?

Re: POLL: Host-Names vs IP Addresses

I have had issues with hostnames even in commercial jobsites with professionally managed networks. So I stick with IP's, preferably static (but sometimes static leases too). Interesting info about the security advantage of hostnames posted by?Thorsten. |

Re: JVC DLA-Z1 slow video switching on NVX351
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi, ? the Z1 is known for slow sync times. If you get sync times below 10 seconds, you?re lucky. 13 seconds is at the slower end, but still in the normal range for that projector. ?

Re: POLL: Host-Names vs IP Addresses

Chris,
Great poll! We're Resi' also, with the majority being SMW and maybe 15% Crestron Home. We have 2 "standard" IP schemes that are adhered to on almost every project with the exception of take over jobs. There is the basic "simple" IP scheme, and then there is the VLAN IP scheme.? We always specify 6 main VLANs and 1 guest. My theory is that on any given project, our service personnel should be able to find 99% of devices without ever doing an IP scan or looking at a DHCP table. Also, I created a spreadsheet, with hyperlinks, that is edited for all devices that are installed on a project. Even on the CH projects, I have my installers setup all devices to their static IPs as per the spreadsheet. Then, they add them to the CH processor, which of course, sets all devices to hostname for the IP table. We have had several devices that kept "falling" offline with the CH processor. So, I had the installer manually change the offending devices from hostname to the static IP of the processor. They haven't had a single problem since. Hostname always seems to be a pain in the residential world.? Devices are always changing. |

Re: Samsung Frame - Wifi only
#samsung
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThe cmc wrappers have a loaded digital output at the top signal. Currently the signal name in the block view is blocked by the parameter but it is right above reboot required.If you set a signal name to it and use a one shot to trigger your ini load which then sets the user attribute for the driver you should be good.

Re: POLL: Host-Names vs IP Addresses

This is great info, guys!
FTR, I pretty much do RESI With SMW exclusively so I'm personally mostly interested in that. Typically I'm the Network Admin (Yikes!) or I'm at least dictating the config philosophy. I looking to have as robust an approach as possible, while utilizing for all sites as much as possible, a universal standard...making it easy to know ahead of time what you're up against when you switch to one site or another... |

Re: Samsung Frame - Wifi only
#samsung
Thanks!
I believe the issue is that I was setting the Mac address before I the driver was fully loaded. Is there a proper example for the Display driver?? I want to initialize the driver via an INI file.? How can I wipe the persistent values to test that it is being initialized properly? |

Re: POLL: Host-Names vs IP Addresses
#poll-notice
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI voted in the poll but¡ ? In an ideal network nothing except core infrastructure will be statically assigned. Everything else will be DHCP (with reservations as appropriate). This means that when network settings change ¨C say a DNS server gets retired, the parent domain name changes due to a merger/acquisition, a new TFTP server is deployed, a NTP server is moved, etc. or even when a device gets moved from one VLAN to another it is somewhere between ¡°largely¡± and ¡°completely¡± transparent on the device configuration end. It also makes misconfigurations a little faster to find. For example, I have one client putting AV devices in a particular building on a VLAN with a 172.25.183.x/24 subnet? -- if I look at the PRO4¡¯s front panel and see it got a 172.25.16.xx IP address I know the port it¡¯s on is configured for VOIP instead of AV rather than going around in circles about why I can¡¯t talk to it/can¡¯t find it on the network etc. ? On my home network the PRO4 has a static IP, the other processors, DM frame, etc. have reservations, and everything else is generally allowed to float on the Control VLAN or PRO4 Control Subnet at whatever IP it was assigned by DCHP. Mainly because I don¡¯t care what address they are ¨C they establish the connection to the processor and when I do need to find something and hostnames aren¡¯t working a quick ¡°autodsicover query tableformat¡± on one of the processors answers the question conclusively. ? On the communication point of view I waffle a bit more ¨C ideally host names would be used for everything but in a network lacking robust local DNS infrastructure it poses practical issues. I¡¯ve been unimpressed by some Crestron devices¡¯ mDNS performance so in a network like my home or an isolated/IT hands off AV network I¡¯m unlikely to use hostnames [though in an isolated network, unless a processor with a CS is used there¡¯s just as unlikely to be a DHCP server forcing the static IP hand] ¨C on the other hand if it¡¯s a network where IT is involved/engaged and helpful I¡¯m more likely to use hostnames for the same reasons DHCP is appealing. Actually for the client mentioned above I¡¯ve been ¡°forcing¡± them to create A records for new AV devices and CNAMES for webservices that AV relies on moving away from static IPs in configuration and programming ¨C partially because one of the VMs on the web service side seems to move to a different subnet every quarter. ? TL;dr: There¡¯s no universal answer; every network is a judgement call. ? -- Lincoln King-Cliby, CTS, DMC-E-4K/T/D ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of

Re: POLL: Host-Names vs IP Addresses
#poll-notice
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI did my vote, so hopefully am allowed to respond to this email. ? ? Coming initially from corporate IT, i learned never to use IP addresses instead of hostnames on application level. However, doing now residential projects only, i?m guilty of using mainly IP addresses. Hostnames/FQDNs are dependant on a working mechanism that translates the hostnames to IP addresses. If that mechanism is not working, you?re screwed. That?s probably what was meant when you were told hostname communication is less reliable. ? But using hostnames instead of IP addresses has a lot of advantages. In terms of security, e.g. a certificate is tied to a FQDN, not an IP address. ? Cheers, Thorsten ?
