Does anyone have any new information about the iPod Touch/iPhone App?
Like when it really coming out?? Or how it will integrate into my code??
Thanks,
Tim


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

Thanks Ian.
Talked to my customer, and he had tested a short 2meter cable and it worked,
so 10m+ cable may caused the issue.

Hi Lars

This looks like a video setting problem, have you allowed the mini player to
Auto-negotiate with the Projector? As we all know HDMI is not our best
friend at times. What I tend to do when installing Kaleidescape is fix the
video output for the content I have on the server. This then ensures you
will always have the best possible picture on screen. To do this in case you
don't know go into the installer settings using the friendly URL
My-kaleidescape/installer

Now navigate to components, then select the settings for the player in
Question, the first page that is displayed is the video settings. You will
see four/Five Drop down menus, if this is set to Auto negotiate you should
see 'Choose the best setting' or something similar, can't remeber the
terminolgy off hand and I'm too lazy to go down and switch my unit on :-).
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.

Re: Sierra router control

Matt
 

Thanks Matt.

As this is my first crestron project, and I'm a neewbie in this, can
you give me an example how I will do that?
Let's say I will transmit **X1,1,0!! will I then input that on Str1
and the next command on str2 etc?
Yup, the digital trigger for sending that string on the blue line, type
the string in the parameter field, and then black line is the tx$ to
your device.

You can add more inputs by holding alt and pressing +.


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!

The macro is trying to compensate for the tens digit, but I guess
the

What's the concept of using the SIO? Are you using serial strings

I've used the lockout successfully, the only thing to know is that when it loses communications with the processor the front panel buttons come back to life.

Re: Mitsubishi AC and Intesis

 

Tony,
I've not used this Intesis but have used a Procon IP32 Modbus

Crestron systems.

Re: Sierra router control

 

Thank you both Matt and Chip Moody.

I should have mentioned that I have no problem talking to the router

I'm using a straight trough cable from the AV2 to the Sierra. Same

This is my first Crestron project, so I'm learning.

cable? (Or stick a null-modem adapter inline) Did you make this
cable with just pins 2, 3 & 5 wired, or is this an "off the shelf"

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,

It's on a 10/100 switch; but since (AFAIK) all of the early CEN-stuff was
limited to 10/Half you may have a good point.

The SHOW INTERFACES STATUS from the switch (Cisco Catalyst 2920) shows that
it had auto negotiated to 10 meg half duplex, but I'll try forcing the
configuration just to eliminate that as a possibility. (Note to self for
when I need to change it back: interface Fa0/7)
