Re: Opening SMW Projects

 

Chris,

When I start programming, I instinctively start 3 instances of Simpl Windows.
One is for my main program, and the other 2 for auxiliary programs or module edits.
What is a PITA for me is that the order of the programs on the Windows taskbar seem to move around randomly with compiles.
So, my main program that I opened first, which should be the first tab, moves around when I perform a compile.

I have never heard that advice and virtually always launch SIMPL via the file (double clicking the SMW, using the arrow keys to highlight the SMW and pressing enter, or using the ¡°Open SMW¡± function of our internal source management tool).

Subject: [crestron] Opening SMW Projects

?

Hi All,
In the long-past, I would routinely open projects by 2x-clicking the .smw project file, which would start a new instance of SMW and open the project together.
At some point in the last few years, I had heard that this was no longer recommended, and we were supposed to always open a fresh instance of SMW and THEN browse/open the project from SMW.

This is a pain... what are other doing, and have any found that the 'new' method is really necessary??

TIA!

Re: USB 3.0 Camera splitting/routing options? #usb

 

I have used Icron Raven USB 3.0 extenders and most recently the Inogeni Toggle USB 3.0 switcher which has RS-232 control.
USB 3.0 switching and extending still seem relatively new so there are not a lot of products and they can be quirky.

Re: NVX-363 resolutions #nvx

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Speaking about interlaced sources does anyone know if nvx always deinterlaces prior to encoding? ??

Or is there a way to output an interlaced stream when subscribed to an interlaced source so that your target device can do the deinterlacing ?instead of nvx doing the deinterlacing ??

I'm assuming when you say 1080i 50Hz, that's the field rate, and you really mean a 25 Hz frame rate. And yes, the NVX-363 input will support that.

USB 3.0 Camera splitting/routing options? #usb

 

I'm hoping some of y'all have found a solution to this seemingly simple problem.? With the increasing prevalence of USB 3.0 only cameras to UC *and* BYOD destination requirements, have any of y'all found a way to route or split a USB3.0 Camera video signal without breaking out to HDMI? I have a customer with a small room with a USB camera, UC engine and want BYOD also. I know USB isn't built to be "split" to two destinations but that's what we need to do, preferably w/o HDMI or other adapters.

Thanks in advance.

Re: S# http Request Timeout

Thanks again Andy.? I found the properties.

My mistake was looking at the HttpClientRequest properties instead of the HttpClient.

Re: SMW User Modules not showing up in the library

 

Another, "I don't know why it works, but sometimes it does" thing to try is deleting the SPlsWork subfolder in your program folder.?

I've had the same thing, where I've double-checked all targets, recompiled all, etc. and it didn't work until I closed the program, deleted the SPlsWork folder, reopened and Recompiled ALL (Alt+F12). It doesn't fix other problems (nesting, wrong target, etc.), but sometimes when nothing else makes sense it works.

Another "This shouldn't fix anything, but sometimes it does" is just rename the program, save it to another folder and start again in a "fresh place", copy/paste in any needed modules, etc and Recompile ALL again

Final item that shouldn't work, but has saved me a few times is replacing the processor in the program: If you have a Pro3, replace with AV3, save, replace back to Pro3, save, recompile all.? Again, this *shouldn't* fix anything, but it has for me when nothing else made sense. Double-check the program it didn't add anything helpful during the replace like a CEN-IO to make up for port differences.??

I think those are all the secret handshakes I remember.

Good luck,
Micah Thurlow


Re: S# http Request Timeout

 

Thanks Andy!

I looked at the S# documentation and didn¡¯t see that. I¡¯ll take another look.?

Thanks again?

Re: off the topic of Crestron - Dell docking station

 

I have an Alienware laptop and use a WD19TB docking station.? In my case I run dual 4K monitors, use the ethernet and every USB port on it.

I bought 2 units off eBay at a tremendous discount off?retail price.? They are both working flawlessly.

It supports up to 130 watt charging which, unfortunately, is not enough for my laptop.? I have to use the gargantuan power supply.? I suspect most laptops would be fine with 130w charging and would be a single cable solution.

Found the Dell WD19TBS, Dell J00G9-Thunderbolt Dock TB15 and seen several out there that range from $66 up to $500 that all claim to have 4K video and support the Thunderbolt USB-C from Dell.

Anyone using Dell with a docking station? If so, which model are you using?

Re: SMW User Modules not showing up in the library

Every time I have run into this problem, which has been more times than I care to count, I have always traced it to a problem with settings for the target control system in unc and s+ files.? If you have lots of nesting then it can be PITA to trace all the dependencies and get them fixed.?

Sorry I can't offer any alternatives but when I've run into the issue it has always come down to the same solution.

Hi All,
So the ultimate take-away is that I should suffer what I know and not try to eliminate and suffering...:(
I tried moving to work only with project libraries, because my ancient/bloated SMW library was causing 'eternal' SMW start times and open project times...well that definitely fixed that issue, but the when it came to development and trying to retrieve previously created User modules that had other user modules and S+ embedded in them, it was just way too much of a beating to be worth it, so I've gone back to the devil I know...

Of course now I have a new problem, that I never had before all this rigmarole, that I'd like to see if anyone has seen:
Some User Modules will not show up in 4-series, and when opening a project with said module, the module is commented out and not visible to re-add in the SMW library. - Thus making the project unusable without some sort of resolution to this issue...:(

*** I understand about Project Header/Target Control Classes, even for sub modules and S+ ***

I worked thru one issue with Crestron Support last week and found that there was an S+ module that, although was set to 3/4-series and was re-Built/Save+Compile, we had to do an S+ 'Recompile ALL' to get it to work.
So when I ran into a similar issue yesterday, I dutifully checked all the internal item settings and did a recompile all on the (1) S+ module in the User Module.
Still Nothing!!!

Has anyone seen anything like this? or have any other secret hand-shakes??

TIA!!
