So... no recommendations for HD PTZ cameras for Capture HD? Not easy to find the right one, and now the customer wants 2 cameras and the ability to switch between them. I wish Capture-HD-Pro had a HDMI in for camera in addition to HD-SDI...
I guess that is why Crestron is pitching a SD sony camera for the application...

Re: Trying to migrate away from D3 for lighting.
I'll third this. I love D3 to get the lighting system itself built and operational, but I've never used it for touchpanels. Anything like the behavior you're talking about gets RSDed to a different processor or program slot.
That said, it's not such a big deal to open a D3-built SMW and pull out their learning modules. I've done that a couple times when I can't remember module names. They probably won't be documented, but you should be able to figure it out easily enough.

I can see your point about D3 not providing the best in VTPro integration.
To be honest, I don't usually land touchpanels on the lighting system side
of things. I typically use D3 like brianrcs explained, modules for custom
logic and separate processors.

Re: crestron mobile versus command fusion
Hi Fabio,
Is this behavior you describe with the latest app, the one that came out a week or ago? I spoke to the Crestron mobile guy at the Cypress opening and he assured me that the do want the ipad app to work well and are continuing to refine it. ( i even saw a demo of a version that had fancy scrolling that has that little box in the scroll bar like an ipad or iphone has). Anyhow, they told me the wakeup on the setup page was done on purpose so that people who need their ipad to work on two systems ( like on their boat, and later at their home) have a way to chnage projects.
I disagreed and told them to give us a menu option, something like Multi-site install ON or OFF.
Anyhow talking with them it seems they do care and are doing their best, but its slow progress obviously. I have never used CF so cant comment on that.
But i just wanted to tell others that the wake on setup was done on urpose to allow mutli sites for a single ipad. Stupid!

Re: crestron mobile versus command fusion
Crestron can fix that. They just need to figure it out. (I have successfully negotiated the Crestron connection/update process with S+ in a side project I'm playing with. Blows away how theirs works.) Command fusion will have its issues but not like that. The nice thing with CF is you have an awesome group of guys in their google group, two or more of whom are the principal players over there. They will often have a problem diagnosed, fixed and waiting for the App store to approve its release by the time you get done with a message thread. There has been a lot of talk over there lately surrounding connexion issues. The not so nice things: JavaScript (but you can exist without it and still have greater functionality than MPG.). All that being said, I'm still somewhat on the fence because they both have their issues (hence my side project.)

Based on that idea, I went further and set the iPad settings to never sleep and then created a subpage with a black background that hovers over the top when there is no user activity¡
For aesthetics I added a big clock with a very subtle color (with dark grey font) on that subpage as well. It appears as a nice screen-saver.
This clock is actually a string (coming from simpl+) every 10 sec to keep the iPad "alive". And this way even though the iPad is permanently on, the screen at least appears dark and it works well for iPads that sit on a wall dock¡
After all this though, it's just a matter of time until eventually the iPad loses connection and reverts back to that setup screen (damn it!).
I can't believe Mobile G cannot have an internal routine with a loop such as if the connection drops, it will retry to connect after a minute or two in and endless loop. No matter what they say, don't tell me that this could not be done¡ (or am I crazy?)
That being said, I understand that interests are at stake and this flaw might very well be intentional (I might be wrong, but chances are I'm not¡. )
Well, the way I see it, the iPad is here to stay, and no matter what size of company you are, you cannot compete with the standards that apple brings to the world. You better join it or lose it. If we cannot make an iPad behave like a real touchpanel, doesn't matter what you say, our end users will keep asking and we will forever see the frustration in our dealers faces¡
In my opinion the iPad is the best touchpanel ever made! It's a game changer. (ok, it does have a few flaws, but pretty darn good!)
I am contemplating moving to command fusion, but I don't know if it solves the problems I described above¡ does command fusion at least tries to reconnect itself automatically when the connection is broken?
Did not want to start a rant, but apparently did.
Thank you to all members of this group, such a great source of knowledge!

In Simpl when you go to type on a symbol's line both the enter keys stop functioning along with some other ones that make it a real PITA to work, I think a reboot fixes it but it will start acting up again. I ran across a fix that was stupid easy and should have bookmarked it, I think it had to do with Caps lock or something that the press got registered but the release didn't and something get's it corrected and synced up again but I have forgot what. It may have had something to do with Multi Monitor as well, got 2 extra displays attached to the iMac figured it might be useful info to throw in. If anyone knows the fix for this, please remind me or if more info is needed let me know.
Thanks
Jason

I got a call from a dealer who is updating an older system and the client furnished a NAD Viso Five as the combo receiver/DVD player, to replace an old Sony receiver. Um, NAD, yeah I remember them from a while back. Let's see what's out there in the way of documentation.
Their website yields a download for RS-232 control. Wow, this is great, I think. A few SIO's and I'll be done. Well, maybe not.
The zip file I got revealed 3 separate documents related to serial control of the Viso Five. Wait, shouldn't it be just two pages I need? All I want to do is pick some inputs and control volume.
Well, turns out one entire document is dedicated to calculating the checksum and some mysterious "control bytes". Uh oh.
It's a surround receiver and a transport deck! Not a nuclear centrifuge! I wanted to bang this out before dawn and be done, not sit around doing bitwise arithmetic.
And the protocol document specifies a "standard straight throw serial cable". Ugh.

Not sure about C4 pricing, but doesn't Crestron advertise their pricing is competitive?

Don't get me wrong, Crestron quality sells itself for a big part. I just
see inferior products gaining market share in the residential market. Must
have something to do with marketing, right?

Hi Everyone,
I'm just getting to grips with Crestron and have a question.
Is it possible to change the x and y (top and left) position of a dynamic image on the fly from SIMPL + code?
Or do you have to use animation or something else?
Thanks in advance.

Yea I would think price point has everything to do with it. I just don't see that the market that video is targeting is the same as the market Crestron is.
