Re: RTI T2-C

 

I actually have 50 joins for each source. For example Source-1 KP-1 would
be join 51/id 10 and Source-2 KP-1 would be join 101/id 10. I only use
different RF ID's for Zone commands. This allows for you to use the search
and replace feature in Integration Designer. The range is pretty far, so I
have not needed more than 1 gateway. I talked with TB about multiple
gateways. Multiple gateways only act as antenna array. The net id of the
gateways is really only identification on the cresnet network. Any gateway
will respond and repeat any RF ID that it sees. If I was given
misinformation please correct me.

After playing with the Integration Designer, I think what John G was meaning
was that no matter what page you were on, the 1 key would use the same join
number. This would fit in with the use of crosspoint routing in the system.
If you had another remote, it would be using a new RF ID. Or using the trick
that I think Tony had, you would use a different set of joins using the same
RF ID.

That logically would work fine if you had only one gateway. Wouldn't
you run the risk of multiple presses if ID 10 contained all the source
commands and was spread between multiple gateways?

I never did it that way so this is just more to satisfy my own
curiosity...

Re: Throwing in the towel on Ademco..

 

I agree with earlier posts that both HAI and GE offer nice robust
keypad emulation, and I prefer working with them. I have noticed a
tendency for Crestron systems communicating with an HAI to lock up.
This appears to be due to processor overload on medium to large
systems. Easily resolved by using a QM-RMC as a stand alone processor
for the security system.

Having said that, and adding that I've never tried the keypad
emulation for the "FBP," a number of the integrators I program for use
"BP" panels exclusively. I've managed to write a series of modules
that works very well, and while it isn't strictly speaking keypad
emulation its close enough that the clients don't seem to notice. Most
of the information exists in the protocol so that you can scroll
through open zones and such on the touch panels, so that it looks like
"keypad emulation."

I guess the point that I making is that the Ademco works well enough,
if you work within certain boundaries.

Re: Lots of sources-- would like some advice

Matt
 

Maybe you could think about using more crosspoint connections, think
about the destinations as equipment crosspoints rather than the
sources themselves.

When you connect your TP to the destinations, the source selections
as 21 presses to an 'after the crosspoint' init / equate scenario
would do all your routing for you rather than a bunch of steppers.
Maybe more work up front, but adding another display or source would
be rather easy compared to your other alternative.



wrote:

Eeek! (and you're welcome ;) )

My advice would be to try to find a way to reduce the source
selections to an analog value or values -- I don't know enough about
your architecture to select a specific method, and plus a guy has to
keep some tricks up his sleeve. Use the analog(s) to deal with the
signal routing [e.g. analog into ATOS to build the routing string for
each matrix output] and group sources by input types (e.g. VGA
sources, Composite sources, etc) and at most you're dealing with a
handful of steppers

e.g Select PC1:
1) Initialize analog(s) for matrix(ies) and and send serial routing
command based on the new analog value
2) Goes into OR for any PC source which kicks off Stepper for "any
VGA input"

There are a bunch of ways to deal with this, some (my personal
favorites) can do input selection, room power, and matrix routing
kicking everything off with a single analog (which makes room
combining REALLY easy ;) )

Re: Batteries on TPMC8X

Joe Tandy
 

The batteries don't work simultaneously, they work one after the other. Meaning when the first battery is exhausted (battery gauge at half), it goes to the second one (battery gauge empty). If the internal is always dead, your battery meter will only show half full. Aside from that all I know is that my kids toys tell me not to mix old and new batteries :)

Re: CEN-RGBHV8X8

Chip Moody
 

Don't let all the options overwhelm you. If you're just trying to
route signals, it's really straightforward. With Extron, you're used
to triggering a string like I*O! to route input "I" to output "O" with
both audio and video.

With the CEN-RGBHV, instead of triggering strings, you're using
INITs to generate analogs. If you have digital signal that goes high
to represent "I want to route input 3 to output 5", attach that signal
to an INIT, which in turn feeds the output 5 analog signal on the
router's symbol. Make that signal on the INIT set the analog value to
3, and you're done. You can either attach that analog signal to both
V and A inputs on the symbol, or I believe there's a digital input you
can latch high that will force audio to follow video.
