So the front panel will not work. Only when I access the rear USB and restore and initialize does the front panel say "Rebooting". It just hangs after that. I can access the entire console from the rear USB but not the front.
If I had an image for this, I could start fresh with a new 4GB SD Card.
Thoughts?

Has anyone heard of a fix for this, or a time-frame?? I have clients/dealers holding off on updating their phones....

Re: Apple TV 4K, Gen.3 (Latest) video issue
If the Apple TV is configured for 720P/SDR, it should (will) not try to send higher resolutions and/or HDR.

The AVR and projector definitely only support v1.4, they're 10 years old!!...:)
Limbert, do you think that even if the Apple TV is set to 720p/SDR, that it would still try to play? the content at a higher level?
also, when we get a black screen, sometimes we still see subtitles...:(
Thorsten,
Thanks for the HD fury recommendation. that may be what I need....I just wish things would do what I tell them to do...:):):)

Re: Sony VPL-VW695ES projector with RS-232 control
Thorsten,
Do you have the ADCP protocol doc that you could post?
TIA!
|
Re: Sony VPL-VW695ES projector with RS-232 control
Your post prompted me to look at the adcp protocol. ?
I want to switch to it myself because it will give temperature feedback which I don¡¯t think the pjlink protocol will provide. ? My projector is in an enclosed ventilated hush box and I¡¯m paranoid about the ventilation fans failing and frying
the projector.?

I did it on my own - it?s actually just a SIO that sends out the corresponding ASCII commands.

Did you use a pre made module for ADCP or did you make your own ??

Hi,
i?m currently having issues with a GTZ380 and IP control at a client?s residence.
I was using the
Sony VPL-VW1000 v1.0 successfully with the VW790 he had before, but with the new projector (exact same physical connection and switch port), connection seems to drop after some time and being unreliable in general.
So I dropped the module and went for using ADCP commands ¨C that seems to have fixed the issue: IP control is stable for a couple of weeks now.

Cheers,

Hi All,
I have a site with this projector, controlled via RS-232 thru a DM-RMC-4KZ-100-C room box (50' from the rack). It's been installed for about a couple years...
Though I do not remember having this issue initially, for the last year, we have had a condition where after ~1-3 weeks, it will stop responding to commands and also the RX/feedback stops.
Sony support says that this is common when you have both RS-232 and IP connections simultaneously, which we did, though the IP connection was only for management and Domotz pinging...We noticed that Domotz would see a tremendous amount of network Up/Down states,
and then often it would just go down and stay down...
Though I think the issue with having IP and Serial connections being a problem is bogus for a professional product, we have disconnected the IP connection.
Still we've seen the issue, and it requires a hard-boot to restore the serial communications...
Anyone else see this kind of behavior??? I have another site with a 715 that we have not seen this issue with....
FYI, I'm using the Sony VPL-VW1000 v1.0 serial module
TIA!

Re: Sony VPL-VW695ES projector with RS-232 control
ADCP is just another control protocol that the Sony projectors support, besides PJLink (which is used by the Crestron module). ? Cheers,
Thorsten ? ? Not sure what ADCP is, but I'm using the Crestron 'Sony VPL-VW1000 v1.0' serial module

Re: Apple TV 4K, Gen.3 (Latest) video issue
Hi, i think it?s an HDCP issue. The ATV plays out HDCP 2.2 content and i would think the projector (and/or AVR) will only support HDCP 1.4. This can be fixed by using an HDFury Linker. ? Cheers, Thorsten ? ? ? Hi All,
I've been working remotely with a client that is having an issue with playback or *SOME* content on Netflix and A-Prime.
Though many titles play fine, some titles will start to play but only provide audio and a black screen with subtitles. Very weird...
This new Apple TV was put into an older media room (~10 years old), about a month ago and has not seen much/any use until now.
I've insured that the unit is on the latest tvOS (v16.2 I think) and hard-booted it.? no fix...
Because of the age of the AVR/Projector, the Apple TV is set to 720p/SDR.
Anyone else seeing issues like this??
TIA!

Re: Apple TV 4K, Gen.3 (Latest) video issue
Hello!
Please check if the content has HDR or Dolby Vision, those contents need a specific HDMI cable, which could be why you see a black screen.

Matter implementation for Crestron?
Did Crestron release any information about a future Matter support?
Might be more Home OS related than my regular commercial playgrounds but I'm about to change jobs and Matter, maybe even Thread, could be of interest there.
Appreciate your feedback!

Re: Sony VPL-VW695ES projector with RS-232 control
Second to that some switches have error threasholds crc wise and will disable a port, you could be triggering a storm control mechanism,?
A stretch, something flaky, turn poe off on the port if its not needed
That¡¯s a fair point.? If the same setup elsewhere is not having the network up and down issues then I would be suspicious of the networking side of things. ? Either an issue with a switch or Ethernet cabling / termination for that run of cable.?
?
I meant from previous network experience the switch port link speed negotiation between 10/100/1000... nic flapping, hence the up down state.... basic switch troubleshooting but it needs to be checked.... most of the time its fine, some times
it needs to be forced..?
