Re: Where do you like to have your UI control logic?? SMW or VTP

"Entirely SMW over VTP but with SMW/CH5 then it can be as much as 90% CH5"
Interesting.... Are you specifically talking about Crestrons implementation (CH5), or just a custom HTML5 approach? |

Re: OT: What Software/Apps do you use for Tasks manager and Calander?
For tasks I use Planner. I create a Plan and then sub-categories, which I normally create one for each Job or project, and then add specific tasks to that plan. You can add due dates and other stuff but I don't use any of it, mostly I jot down 4-5 words that jog my memory about what needs to be done. It's quick and easy for me and can also be shared with others to add/complete items as well as directly assign tasks to others.
For Calendar I use Outlook and O365 with Teams.? It works really well for scheduling and setting up calls but it's a resource hog. Both work really well on mobile and PC but it is a bit annoying to have duplicate notifications/ringing on cell and PC/Laptop so I only log into my mobile apps when I need them and turn email notifications off completely. For whatever reason the feature for not ringing or sending notifications to mobile when my PC is "active" has never worked. |

Re: Alternative to NAX-8ZSA?
#crestron
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýDepends which functionality you are making use of the 8ZSA. If you want to use the media-player functionality, you could switch over to other 3d party solutions or wait for the 4ZSP that I heard should be available in August (better than October¡). If you need the AoIP functionality, you could go for other AoIP amplifiers. If you need the matrix switching functionality, you might even be happy with the good old BIPAD8 which I was told by my sales rep is CH compatible (haven?t tested myself yet). ? If you need everything combined into one 2RU-device, then i?d be interested in alternatives as well. ? ? Cheers, Thorsten ? Von: [email protected] <[email protected]> Im Auftrag von Wyatt J ? +1?

Re: Cisco Touch 10 Layout
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýFor basic room control I highly endorse the use-the-Touch 10-as-the-UI approach (I have several clients with large deployments in this vein including one where we¡¯ve done a couple hundred rooms in a handful of countries and a few local languages) ¨C not only does it work well and you don¡¯t have to worry about the most complicated part of the UI or keeping up with UI refreshes and improvements but it takes a lot of the UX workload away because Cisco locks you into a relatively rigid framework, so even if you want to reinvent the wheel you can¡¯t really. ? ? For wackier rooms the line is less clear because of that same lack of flexibility (e.g. divisible rooms with multiple codecs, lots of analog controls) and depending on room use cases (is this a room that¡¯s 95% VTC or 5% VTC, for example?) other approaches ?start to make sense, e.g. for a primarily VTC room it may be best to use the Touch 10/Navigator as the primary end user UI but have a real Crestron panel somewhere for more tech/room setup tasks. I¡¯m finding it more and more rarely makes sense to reinvent the VTC UX (Though having said that I do have a project we¡¯re replacing Zoom with WebEx in a dozen or so rooms being build where VTC is less than 1% of the functionality and we¡¯re working with the client on what makes the most sense for the UX. In that case, though, auto join or OBTP and end call are probably the limits of the normal VTC control. ? -- Lincoln King-Cliby, CTS, DMC-E-4K/T/D ? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]

Re: Cisco Touch 10 Layout
Before you go spending a lot of time trying to develop a UI that would resemble the layout of a Cisco Touch 10, why not think about using the Cisco Touch 10 as the UI??
My personal experience has been split across two paths: (1) develop a UI (on Crestron) that looks like a Cisco UI... until the Cisco UI changes; or (2) develop In-Room Controls (or whatever Cisco wants to name / brand the 'customized controls' feature available) on a Navigator / Touch 10. With Option (1) you can create very Crestron-customized user interfaces?however you need to be aware that any mimic of a Cisco UI needs managed that it may become out of sync with any Cisco firmware update (and can become a weird conversation between 'user experience' centric audience and 'network security' centric audience). With Option (2) you get no issues with updating Cisco firmware (when the next feature or bugfix is implemented for that system) with the small tradeoff that all user controls now need to fit within the In-Room Control design boundaries.? FWIW I am a huge fan of option 2 and always lead with that if given the chance.? |

Re: Cisco Touch 10 Layout
Having been through a nightmare of a situation where a client demanded this (or perhaps our sales team sold the concept and painted us into a corner - that seems just as likely) and was then locked into quickly-outdated Cisco software unless they wanted to pay to redevelop the UI with every successive Cisco update, I thought I'd pose the question: with the ease of use and integration of Cisco Touch 10 / Navigator UI extensions with third-party control systems for elements outside Cisco's normal scope of control, is there a reason to develop and deploy a Crestron user interface that emulates Cisco? You may wish to consider letting Cisco drive the bus and having Crestron do what it does best and present the Cisco Touch 10 or Navigator panel as the primary user interface if this is a UC environment that centers around Cisco. These sorts of deployments have been much more successful for us and for our clients long-term than trying to emulate Cisco. Crestron emulations of Cisco do not tend to shine for very long, unless you have a client who is intent on spending their money on Crestron UI updates to keep up with Cisco's pace of development. That's my $.02, anyway.

DSP1283 Avia connection problem
Hi All,
I have an old -2019- DSP1283 and having problem with Avia connection. All networking seems fine, there are other Crestron devices in the same subnet. Via Tools or console connection is without problem. The error code is 1803. Any experience? All possible firewall and defender are off btw. |

Re: Duplicating zone question
Good morning.
There are several things to consider that will determine a successful / enjoyable outcome here: 1. Do the two types of loudspeakers have the same impedance rating? If so, each will receive an equal share of the power applied. 2. Is the "sensitivity" rating of the loudspeakers the same (ie: 90db/SPL 1 watt @ 1 meter)? if different, the more sensitive loudspeaker will produce the louder sound level. 3. Will you ALWAYS want the same loudness relationship between the two types of loudspeakers? 4, Some "speaker splitter boxes" provide individual level adjustment and impedance compensation. That might be a benefit to you here. 5. The BEST path would be to use individual outputs on the AAE. Yes, some programming might be required; that might be beneficial (IT DEPENDS). |
