OT: iMac
galcala1031
Sorry about the OT but this is the best place I know to ask this...
client has an iMac that is connected wirelessly. Connection is WEP encrypted through a consumer grade wireless router (Linksys). The iMac is always on but goes into standby after several minutes of non-use. When it comes back on-line it takes 15-20 seconds for the wireless connection to be "remade". Is this normal? Any suggestions as to how I can reduce this lag time? Thanks |

This means that the player will try to auto negotiate to get the best picture for either PAL or NTSC content. Set this to the setting that best suits your projector i.e. 1080i or 1080p. Looking at the Spec's of your unit I would go with 1080p. Do this in all of the Drop down menus. To ensure you cover all possible content. The reason why the OSD works fine is its native 480p and as such it may be displaying it at this res and as such tends to work great in every situation its when you start playing back content that you have issues with certain devices.

Recommendations
Jon Bannan
Hi all,
I am looking for a few recommendations from the company side of things regarding the questions below? As a CAIP or a programming company, have you had a client ask for the following items and how have you handled it? I'm finishing my RFQ for this year and was wondering if there was a way to get these included in a system review or something. 1.) Is there a way that I can have someone review our current Room View 6 setup and see what other options we could add? What are we missing? etc? Kind of a review of our system and recommendations as to what could be added to enhance the functionality and usage of RV. 2.) We are obviously interested in integrating the Emergency Broadcasting function that was just mentioned. What is needed to make this happen? Any hardware or software, etc? 3.) There are often times that we need to provide reports to our Provost and the Cabinet regarding lamp hours, equipment usage, etc. So I'm interested in someone creating a custom report that we can run when needed for the various information. Does any of this make sense to you guys? Again, I'm not looking for a $ number right now, more of a "hey this is what one of our clients did or this is what we've seen requested before" etc. Thanks! -- Jon Bannan - CTS Media Manager Media & Technology Support Services The College of New Jersey 2000 Pennington Road Forcina Hall 123 Ewing, NJ 08628 609-771-2304 - Office 609-637-5126 - Fax bannan@... |

Re: Sierra router control
I think I found out what the problem is, but I don't have a clue how to
solve it. (Tried making a new cable also with 2,3 & 5 only, but didn't help). The thing is that the Sierra Crestron module from Crestron sends a wrong formatting out to the router. The sierra will expect **X2,5,0!! but the macro sends this instead **X02,05,0!! So it adds a 0 in front of the number. When I try this in terminal from the PC, the first line without the zero works as it should, but he second line generates "Error syntax: Unknown command..." My question is how do I get rid of the extra zeroes? Thanks for all input. |

Refining serial I/O
slip.cougan
Take the following senario:
Main zone SIO contains the parameter: Cable\x0D Secondary SIO zone contains the parameter: Zone 2 Cable\x0D Now of course both these events will fire if I send: Zone 2 Cable\x0D This is the expected behaviour from a serial I/O. Is there a way to make the SIO more choosy? So if I send Zone 2 Cable\x0D it does not trip the main zone event. Thanks gary |

I've not used this Intesis but have used a Procon IP32 Modbus Interface connected to a G50. That way the A/C system can still be operated from the G50 if there's any problems with the Intesis or Crestron systems. --- In Crestron@..., "Tony Golden" <mrgolden@...> wrote:

Re: Sierra router control
Thank you both Matt and Chip Moody.
I should have mentioned that I have no problem talking to the router via RS-232 from a PC. I'm using a straight trough cable from the AV2 to the Sierra. Same kind as I'm using from the PC. Is this normally a problem? This is my first Crestron project, so I'm learning.

Re: CEN-COM Falling Offline/Excessive Update Requests
The CEN-COM was after and before my time, it came and went while I was on a
brief hiatus from this industry so I was never up on the specs. They pretty much killed it when the QM-RMC came out. It should be interesting to see if this fixes your issue or at least improves it. Mark On Sun, Jan 25, 2009 at 10:15 PM, Lincoln King-Cliby < lincoln@...> wrote: Mark, |
