Re: Refining serial I/O

Chip Moody
 

How about making "Cable" into "Zone 1 Cable" instead? Valid option?

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&#92;x0D it does not trip the main zone event.

Re: Refining serial I/O

An incoming "Zone2-Cable&#92;r" will trigger BOTH "Cable&#92;r" and
"Zone2-Cable&#92;r" parameters. "Cable&#92;r" is still a subset of the
incoming string and a valid match...

What's the concept of using the SIO? Are you using serial strings
into the SIO to switch sources from the outputs? Maybe look at
using
analog init's instead?


Pioneer BDP-05 Control

 

Does anyone have a IR file to be able to control a Pioneer BDP-05 from the rear control port?
I'm told that even though it's a "Pioneer Control" jack, that if you strip the carrier from IR files
it should work with Crestron. I have tried with no success, so I was wondering if anyone else
has succeeded and has the file. Thanks for your help.

Re: OT: iMac

With encryption on, I believe a few/several seconds is fairly normal
for renegotiation. Perhaps they can have the Mac turn off the display
and spin the drive down, but stay awake enough that it doesn't
disconnect the wireless link?

Slow Wi-fi reconnects are usually due to the router. Linksys are fairly slow. The Airport Extreme is pretty quick and I'm sure others will point out those that are faster, but they all come in quite a bit more expensive than the Linksys.

Re: Recommendations

Steve Kaudle
 

I'm not sure an RFQ is a good means of handling information
gathering...not that I haven't seen it done that way in the past.
Questions like these, good as they may be, are going to generate a
wide variety of responses, making comparisons of the responses
difficult if not impossible.

For example, question #1: I'd be hard pressed to deliver a
competitive quotation for "review[ing] our current Room View
6 setup and see what other options we could add", unless you were A)
going to make your RV system available for all perspective bidders to
review, prior to bidding and B) tell all perspective bidders what you
expected to see added.

Assuming you're not intending this RFQ to serve as a quasi-interview
like process, aimed at finding an AV contractor to work with you on a
design/build project [unusual for institutional clients], I'd
recommend hiring someone [technology consultant, AV contractor, AV
programmer, etc...] to act as a designer/consultant and work with you
to determine what's available and/or what you want the systems to do.
More specific to the Crestron side of things, assuming your an A+
Partner, call your Crestron rep and ask him/her to stop by and spend
some time going over your needs.

Once you know exactly what you want, write a RFQ to that spec. That
way the vendors will know exactly what the system[s] need to be, and
you'll know exactly what your getting and how much it's gonna cost,
before the first wire is pulled.

3.) There are often times that we need to provide reports to our

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

Funny, I was about to ask the same thing. I think I will email
Crestron as well since they clearly show in their software section
currently "SW-MOB-AI" as a product, yet it sure as heck is not at the
iTunes store.

I've been using CF iViewer to this point and while the panel builder
software they have is pretty clunky, it does work and their interface
seems to work well once fully loaded.

Still, it would be nice to have Crestron actually release this...
Since they advertise it on their site and all.

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

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 +.

I think I found out what the problem is, but I don't have a clue

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.
The macro is trying to compensate for the tens digit, but I guess
the
router doesn't accept a '0' as a valid tens digit. The macro from
crestron only only does crosspoint routing anyway, using an SIO and
you fill in the serial strings manually would probably be faster
than
trying to fix the module.
