Hdmi Matrix IR Driver

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Hi!
I would like you to help me with creating an IR driver for a
Matrix HDMI in Crestron Home, the procedure for creating it in ToolBox I can do, my question is which type of device is most suitable
to do this function. In the Device Type list I know I should choose
among the options with a yellow asterisk. I already have the IR codes.
You will only need 3 inputs and 1 output.
Which device type would you choose?
Thanks!

Yes sorry... Program Instance. In our case we use a spare room license for debugging, and stop that program when we are done. You could actually do something similar by creating a program/cron that runs on the linux server.

How is it controlled?
do you have a link to where I can look at them

That's what we used in our studio at the office.? it works very well.??

When we use Epson some of the modules hafe a Cooling_Down_fb that we use to put up a message on panels. You should be able to us this when it goes low to raise your lift.?

How about one of those Room Availability Signs??Yea you would need cresnet or a CENCN to put it on the network but would look nice
Re: VC-4 lack of console for printing msgs

 
Edited

Jeff: You mention Program Slots on VC4.? Can you elaborate on that. Am I missing something.? There are no program slots on VC4. An any running program (SIMPL or SIMPL#) requires a room and therefore a license.
Re: Off Topic: Epson 5050UB Trigger

 

Jeff,
When the lens cover closes, is the projector completely Off (i.e. the STATUS indicator has stopped flashing and the "cool down" period has ended)?
Basically, I'm trying to determine if I can use the trigger to lower and raise enclosed ceiling projector lift, where I DO NOT want the lift to close until the projector has completely shut down, including its cool down period.
If I use the trigger, does it seem ok for projector ceiling lift to close as soon as trigger turns off?

From manual for turning projector Off:
"Press the power button on the projector or the Standby button on the remote control again. (To leave it on, press any other button.) The lamp turns off and the lens shutter closes. The projector's Status light flashes and then turns off."

They don't say how long the STATUS light flashes, and I am not onsite to check this.

Thanks so much for the reply!

Yeah just a simple light that says either On Air or recording. ?The idea is the light would go on any time the smp is recording. ?Preferably maybe something that could be run direct from the IO on smp. ?I guess he reached out to Extron ?and they said they don¡¯t have one any more. ?

looking for a new solution?
Re: On Air Recording Light #reservedjoins #crestron

 

There's lots that the radio broadcast industry offers, many of the relay controlled, but some have their own IP interface as well.

What kind of look are you after - just a red light? The traditional kind of light with the kit up "on-air" text?

I will double check ? Not in front of that PC right now ?

you can also check out Kiel the Coder. ?I used his samples to build mine out. ??
Re: VC-4 lack of console for printing msgs

 

We created a simpl#pro program that get¡¯s loaded in one of the program slots on VC4. It allows for a programmer to login with credentials and choose which program instance names running to watch, using a filter console command. Each of the other program implements the companion ¡°Debug¡± class that communicates with console program. Pretty easy and works as expected. This was written when only SIMPL#Pro programs ran on VC4.?

Thanks, somehow I missed that one!

I've seen scaling issues with other apps on the i14 as well... Bleeding edge tech. :(
Re: VC-4 lack of console for printing msgs

 

So it seems like the Exceptions, Errors and Notices are saved to a file and can also be printed on the linux command line as they happen. Which is great.
However, I am still looking for the ability to issue a simple "print" command that does not save to a file and all it does is display some text on the screen (this helps a lot when debugging in realtime).?
?
Based on what @LightDemon wrote, It looks like we can "repurpose" the error.notice to write to a file which is separate from the exceptions and errors, correct?
If this is true, this is kind of a decent workaround... All I am looking for is the ability to output some live text in a console without polluting the actual error logs.?
The way I see it:
Error logs should only contain the exceptions and errors while "print" statements should be ephemeral and only aid with live debugging... I'm not sure why this seems to be so difficult.
Thanks for all the tips, I will dig into the manuals.
Re: VC-4 lack of console for printing msgs

 

Hi?chrmac68,?what direction did you take with that? CWS, SSH, STCP Server, etc?

I really like your idea of being able to input console commands as well... it is always nice to be able to "turn debug on" and "turn debug off" straight from a console interface.
Re: Crestron Go App (iPad) - strange embedded video issue

 

I have seen this too. Good idea with the extender- maybe you could use that to drive the on/off state of the video window or even the visibility of it. I may have to try this out
Re: VC-4 lack of console for printing msgs

 

In at least one version of the manual, it gave instructions about copying a .conf file into rsyslog.d directoy to create a creston log file that you could print to with the error.notice function then ssh sudo tail -f /var/log/crestron/crestron.log and watch the log in realtime.

1. Move the 50-default.conf file from [VirtualControlHome]/samples/conf_files to the
/etc/rsyslog.d/ directory.

2. Issue sudo systemctl restart rsyslog.service to restart the system logging service.
