Re: AUTH and SSL on 3 Series
It is a CP3N and as luck would have it I have that exact memory card on the way from Mouser. ?I unfortunately don¡¯t have any other CP3N processors to get the image from. ?Mouser apparently has 1900+ of these in stock and ready to ship so I can¡¯t imagine how Crestron ¡®wouldn¡¯t¡¯ have access to them. ?The FW/AUTH issues arise from the fact that for years Crestron has touted that the 3 Series hardware was able to be maintained in a way that provided compatibility with existing systems. ?That just simply isn¡¯t true. ?I have quite a few very large AV systems in the wild that will be unrepairable in the event a processor goes down and a similar legacy device cannot be sourced. ?The rhetoric was always just ¡®roll back the FW¡¯ and good to go¡especially given the current situation where new processors haven¡¯t been shipping for over a year. ?Crestron just keeps piling on reasons for clients to look elsewhere. ?All we needed to make this system 100% perfect again¡100% functional was a processor that was in the same state as the one removed. ?I am now stuck with an angry client, an expensive system and a roulette wheel of price gouging eBay sellers. ?Our rep is no help, Crestron apparently can¡¯t or won¡¯t fix it and I can¡¯t afford to just willy-nilly buy more overpriced processors and hope that they have never had AUTH/SSL turned on. ?I mean gimme a break here Crestron.?

Re: where do programmer's go
The higher ed market is a pretty sizable chunk of AVIXA's?membership. There are a bunch of us at universities that wear the programmer hat pretty regularly. It'd probably take?a pretty sizeable institution to keep you busy 100% of the time with Crestron programming, but programmers also fix most wiring problems :D so chances are that you also have technician and design skills that would be useful to the AV/IT teams at a school.?
Integrators, manufacturers, schools, embedded support, etc. There are a lot of opportunities, but I agree with you that a lot of leads from recruiters and placement agencies aren't directly irrelevant.?
Good luck!?
Jim?

Re: AUTH and SSL on 3 Series
So just to follow up¡
After repeated attempts with tech support to ¡®roll back¡¯ the FW on this unit it finally threw its hands up in the air and gave up. Crestron issued an RMA and we sent it back. ?They are now telling me that the unit is unrepairable due to it being out of warranty and unavailable parts. ?This smells like total BS. ?Can someone please enlighten me as to how a failed FW update can cause an otherwise perfect processor to become unrepairable? ?Current situation in Crestron land is no new processors and out of warranty ones cannot be fixed? ?Please¡someone throw me a bone here.

Re: OT: Presentation projector
Are you sure 4K is required for the planned application? Going below 4K could drive cost significantly down. ? Cheers, Thorsten ? ? Hi All,
We're working on a church project and need a couple *reasonably priced* 4K projectors that have 8-10,000 lumens.
Any suggestions?
TIA!!

Re: OT: Presentation projector
Chris,
I've used DPI projectors in several commercial projects over the years, and they've been extremely reliable.
I don't even know what reasonably priced means anymore.
DPI E-Vision 11000 4K-UHD is about $28k retail - tons of lens options, liquid cooled, sealed optics, 10,500 lumens
To me, anything laser illuminated, over 10k lumens, and under $30k retail is very reasonably priced.
I'm sure that Epson has something that fits the bill at a lower price, but I haven't used them.
Good luck,
Brian

1. What is the reason that you're looking to use a Control subnet? 2. you can use a reasonably inexpensive router to set up the same configuration via VLans, one for the processor and one for the control subnet devices. If your network already has a decent router, you may be able to use that to configure the VLans (or even the switch, if its sophisticated enough). If its an 'ISP router' then you'll likely need to roll your own....

Is there some particular reason you have to have the control subnet?

C# Programmer Needed for NYC Project
Hey everyone,
My company is in the middle of a project in NYC and need a programmer who is experienced with C#.? Can anyone point me in the right direction?? This project is very time-sensitive.? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

You¡¯re going to find this tough as the DIN-AP4 processor doesn¡¯t have a Control Subnet physical interface or internal router.
I¡¯m guessing the AP4 is a substitute for a CP4N?
I think a design change may be required.

G'day all, Has anyone successfully added or modified a program file on a VC4 using curl and the REST API from a command line? I've tried but have been unable to make it work. I can query the existing programs using the following;
curl -k -X GET "http://10.0.0.222/VirtualControl/config/api/ProgramLibrary" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: [#####]" I can't work out how to send the program file. When I try to send the following;
curl -k -X PUT "http://10.0.0.222/VirtualControl/config/api/ProgramLibrary" -d {"ProgramId":23,"AppFile":"D:\CrestronCode\Code\bin\Debug\test.cpz"} -H "accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: [#####]" I receive the following message.
{
"Actions": [
{
"Operation": "set partial",
"Results": [
{
"path": "Device.Programs.ProgramLibrary",
"object": "NULL",
"StatusInfo": "ProgramId: Missing required parameter in the JSON body or the post body or the query string",

}
?
Thanks in advance.

I'm using an AP4 processor and a program needs to configure the processer with a control subnet.
The port map on the control subnet requires 2 ports:
External 3072 to internal 3072 and the control subnets IP address
External 3073 to internal 3073 and the control subnets IP address
?
How do I go about doing the mapping in AP4? I don't seem to be able to find any information nor documentation for it. Appreciate any pointer, thank you in advanced!

Re: Access RMC Scaler (via DM-MD) from SSH or Telnet
#programming
Yes, Lincoln is correct.? You want to use the? "uprogcmd" symbol.? Not the "console" symbol as I incorrectly stated.? That's what I get by doing thing from memory rather than looking at what I actually have done in the past.

Re: Access RMC Scaler (via DM-MD) from SSH or Telnet

You could route the output of the UCMD symbol to a SIO ¨C you could then match something like ¡°PROJON¡± (without the quotes) in the SIO
and the corresponding digital would go high when you sent UCMD ¡°PROJON¡± (with the quotes) ¨C tying that to something like a stepper that hit the projector on command (note that the SIO has a floating buffer and the digital output for a match will stay high
as long as the buffer content matches¡it is not pulsed.

Subject: Re: [crestron] Access RMC Scaler (via DM-MD) from SSH or Telnet #programming
?
Thanks for answering, I was pretty sure by now that it wasn't possible.?
I have a few goals. One, was a simple curiosity what/how much can be accomplished from my VPN, without having my Windows VM opened up, and just using my Mac.
I was hoping to build a some documentation for my IT team to be able to do some remote triage on our legacy systems, if I am on vacation or otherwise not available. So for example, I was going thourgh the process of what a full system shutdown without a processor
online could be.?
My next curiosity is this: I have been playing around with the 'User Program Commands' module, to see if I can have a user send a terminal command TO the control system, and trigger functionality that way. I'm not totally understanding how the module works.
There is a single [rs$] output on it, which corresponds to the command in USERPROGCMD "<command>". How would one route a serial command like this to, lets say, a digital input that turns a projector on? How can one convert a serial commnd to a digital process
in module?

Re: VC-4 lack of console for printing msgs
Tim's code from Masters 2022 MSS-431 has a VirtualConsole class suited to this purpose.? You can telnet in and even have it re-print the previous debug messages.? You can find it linked from his presentation in OLH 2015.
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.

Re: Access RMC Scaler (via DM-MD) from SSH or Telnet
#programming
You most certainly can use the USRPROGCMD command to send serial data out of the RMC comport with a little bit of SIMPL and/or SIMPL+.? I use USERPROGCMD all the time to check the status of of something or to issue a command.? Done it both with Telnet and SSH via a VPN from my host Linux laptop without opening a Windows VM. ? The easiest way to do it is make a SIMPL module that controls all the functions you want to do on your projector -- in most case, you will already have a module for this.?? Put a Console symbol in your SIMPL program and your USRPROGCMD signals will come out of the Console symbol.? Then run the Console symbol to a SIO and put all the commands you want to do in the parameter list.? For example, one of those commands may be "projector on".? Route each digital signal from the? SIO to a MMV or stepper and then pulse the proj_ON signal on your SIMPL module for the projector.? It is a good ideal to feed the SIO digital output of the SIO back to the digital inputs of the SIO and in the parameter list, give it a descriptive name such as "Sending Power On to projector/n" so you know you have spelled the command correctly.
If you want to send serial text directly to the RS232, you will probably need to use a little bit of SIMPL+ to parse your commands and redirect them to the appropriate comport.?
