Woops sorry. Just too eager to answer I guess... haha

Analog Increment that adds 1d every second.

Send your seconds as an analog join directly to any text field and use
<cipa>X?%t</cipa> (where X = analog join number) in the text to display an
incrementing timer. Just did this for elapsed recording time on a Capture
HD a couple weeks ago. Works great.

Anyone have any ideas on what would be the best way to get elapsed seconds on a core 3 TP. I am hoping to do this without simpl+ (which i can do easily). I could do a equate to an SIO but that would run out after 9999 seconds. Thanks for any ideas.

Hey all,

I've got a project in the queue with many Axis PTZ cameras on the job sheet (model is P5512 specifically). Does anybody have an Axis VAPIX module to control PTZ and possibly some other functions? Didn't see any Axis stuff in the Files section. There was a thread started by eldiablo80 earlier this year working through gaining control -- are you here eldiablo80? Did you ever make a module?

Thanks in advance,
Sammy

(warning: Excessively long post follows)

My first "real" trip to NYC was my 3rd Masters and in the middle of January. I spent a lot of time (the better part of 4 days) walking around outside in ~18degree (F) temps and until I found darted into a dug store to grab a (ugly but useful) knit head thing my ears would go numb after about 45 minutes, but otherwise it wasn't too bad.

I've used my HHonors (Hilton) points cache to stay at a few properties on Manhattan. I'd pass on the Waldorf (not impressed by the location or service -- seemed to be riding on reputation) but the Hilton Times Square is possibly my favorite hotel in the US.

Decent sized, clean and modern rooms with good service and a great location (it's almost literally right on top of the Times Square/42nd Street MTA station and from there you can get anywhere pretty easily).

- I love MoMA and not the biggest fan of the Met but you should go at least once. The Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum is also one of my favorites, though I don't know if they've finished their renovation project. The Guggenheim is also a NY landmark, but the exhibitions can be kind of out there. Definitely consider what's on display before deciding to lay down cash [if you have Museum Staff ID, though, make sure you show it at any of these]

- For Broadway, if you aren't wed to a particular check out the TKTS booth for discount tickets day of show. One of my favorite things to do is just go down there, and pick a show I've never heard of, or heard very little about and get a ticket. The tickets are usually pretty decent. But I've also been burned (Boeing Boeing and Next to Normal - Awesome; Fela - So far beyond awful I managed to get a partial refund.)

- Central park is a must. If you wander in at the lower east corner (what is that 5th Av / 59th St?) you can follow the paths up to the Met, just a little but further and you find the reservoir; if you duck out to 5th Av you're not that far from the Cooper-Hewitt. If the timing is just right, there will be just a little bit of snow on the ground but the pathways will be clear and it's an absolutely beautiful sight.

- Just get an unlimited ride MetroCard and ride the subways around. MTA's Arts4Transit program is awesome as far as planned public art goes and you'll see plenty of other interesting things along the way.

- In a similar vein, just walk the streets. One of my favorite things to do anytime work takes me to a city, and NY is no exception, is to just wander around without a map or plans of any kind. I'll see something interesting and stop in for a bit; eventually I'll start to get hungry and just let my nose guide me to something that smells good. I've found plenty of decent, literal holes-in-the wall that you would never hear about from any tourist this way.

- Radio City Music Hall is an interesting tour, but I'm a little biased because the first and only time I've done it was the day before I attended the Tony Awards. /That/ was fun.

- When in doubt ask a cop. Most police officers (NYPD included) are rather friendly. And they also usually know a good place near by to get a drink / eat / not get shot. The most confused I've ever seen a cop was when I asked a NYPD officer if he would mind taking my picture as I left the Tonys. After the "You...want... me..." stunned reaction, he happily snapped a few.

- Check out Lincoln Center. Again a little biased (or perhaps pseudo-narcissistic)

- I would probably not do the Empire State Building again. Nothing but tourists, and in a city with so much else to offer kind of an overpriced waste of time, IMHO.

NY really is my favorite city, I just wish we had more commercial projects out that way so I had more of an excuse to visit. And now I'm /really/ hoping I can make it to Masters.

I grew up in NY but don't live there any more. However, here are some things to think about.

In NYC you really have 2 Art museums

1) the metropolitan museum of art
2) the Guggenheim museum - modern art with the building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright

Both are excellent. Check what is showing at each and that can help you make a decision.

I would also add to your list

September 11th memorial
Window shopping on 5th ave. Store displays can be pretty amazing in December even if you can't afford to buy anything :-)
Depending on what is showing - Lincoln Center for the performing arts

Of course asking what to fit in for a weekend is an impossible task given how much there is to see in NYC

If you don't want to spend a fortunate on dinner you can just go to Chinatown and find the restaurant with the longest line. If the locals are willing to wait in line you know the food will be really good.

Hope this helps

Jay

Lol, clearly I didn't know about the device extender either.

My apologies for the initial misinformation.

I can concur 1000% with Lincoln with regards to the TPCS-4. Same "lags
sometimes" when doing the most simplistic attempts at lighting buttons.
(Whoda thunk that???)

Likewise, yes - you can access the "multi state" buttons individually
through analogs on said device extender...

Beware, though, I'm not sure why but changing the backlight color seems

prefer to make mute buttons "blink" (driven by a common 0.5s/0.5s OSC) so
they jump out at the user, this does not work well on the TP**-4SM family.

On the TPMC-4SM doing this tends to get the panel farther and farther

behind so that after a few seconds the panel is so far behind that the
observed blink rate is more like 1.0s/1.0s -- and the worst part is that it
queues them up, so the button will continue to blink well after it's no
longer being told to blink by the program.

So, in other words, don't try changing the color too frequently :)

IIRC the TPMC-4SM does not support individual led feedback for hard

buttons. You can select green or red as the backlight colour and then turn
the whole backlight on/off.

Hi Guys,

I am having a play with our campuses first TPMC-4SMFD and have gotten

stuck on the feedback for the LED hardbuttons. I have limited experience
with Crestron touch panels as all we have on campus TPSG-TPI's with
different manufacturer touch panels so any help would be gladly
appreciated.

The result I am after is to get the LED hardbuttons to illuminate

individually dependant on feedback. Currently all i'm getting is all hard
buttons illuminated constantly whilst the panel is awake :(.

I presume this can be done as it mentions in a crestron document that

the buttons can operate individually or globally. However I cannot find
where this is configured.

Additionally I have not made this a core-3ui project as I need to keep

a similar look to our existing user interfaces. Does it need to be a
core-3ui project to get the outcome I want?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Weather permitting, I wouldn't miss walking the Brooklyn Bridge, then
get dim sum in China Town.

Take the free ferry to Staten Island (and come right back) which will
give you nice views of lower Manhattan, Ellis Island and the Statue of
Liberty.

I do this either on my own (or with my GF last year) every year at Masters.

1. Guggenheim (MOMA is great, but if you have to pick one, go for the
Guggenheim)
2. Museum of Natural History/Hayden Planetarium
3. If you like stand-up comedy, shows are cheap and plentiful. It's not
hard to catch a big name on any given weekend.
4. Go check out Ground Zero/Freedom Tower site. It's worth it just to see
the construction of the new towers
5. Empire state/Chrysler building are a bit cliche but worth it if you've
never been before.
6. Ellis/Liberty Island tour.
7. Grand Central Station
8. Madison Square Gardens/Yankee Stadium if you're into sports
9. Wall Street
10. 5th Ave if you plan on letting your wife shop and want to come home
broke....
11. Skating in Central Park South (5th Ave & W 59th SE corner)
12. Central Park Zoo
13. Eat Italian food in little Italy...... (This should be #1 IMHO)
15. Eat a central park hotdog/pretzel/roasted nuts/anything

Just to name a few touristy ones...

Some of the idea's I got are:

Broadway play

Since you are an AV guy - you should make a pass through Grand Central
Station. It's nice to see the big main hall with its celestial ceiling,
but go downstairs outside the Oyster Bar. There is an open square
vaulted space. You stand facing one vault and your spouse stands facing
the vault diagonally opposite. Now talk into them; you can hear each
other across the room. There is an acoustical 'thing' created by the
Guastavino tiled vaults.

Maybe I read it wrong, but I assumed the device was connected to the cp2's IR port when controlling it via viewport ?

-Stig

I can think of four possible things that could be causing your problem:

1) The TVOne may require the RTS/CTS lines to be active. When using one way serial, those lines will be low. Possibly connecting pins 7 and 8 together on the TVOne side may get it to work.

2) Likewise, the RVOne may be using some of the other com lines to power the RS232 interface -- so when you use one way serial via IR ports, those voltages will be missing and the RS232 interface loses power.

3) When using one way serial via IR ports, the RS232 lines are non standard (probably something like 0 to +5V). Real RS232 levels are something like -5V to +5V or greater.

4) I notice on some Crestron products, the one way serial via IR ports have some bugs in them. In particular, I've seen the CNX-RMC change the order of the data coming out even thou Simpl debugger reports the correct order. For example, sending "ON" may actually send "NO" instead. Suggest you connect your laptop to the one way serial output and see what is actually being sent.

Good luck,
Steve

Damn, I wanted to make that joke.

Not at all!

I would love to do that. I hate traveling, but I remember loving CA as a kid...

This isn't specifically a Crestron question, but the Cameras will be Crestron controlled so I figure it's fair game :)

I've got 3 Axis Q6035 HD IP PTZ cameras that I will be installing in a classroom/lab. There will be around 30 PCs around the lab that need to be able to receive the IP video feed from a user selectable camera. Due to limitations in the Axis camera, only 20 viewers per camera are allowed, so I was going to set the cameras to broadcast using Multicast, that way there's no theoretical limit to the number of viewers.

The issue I'm running in to is that I can't get Windows 7 machines to view the multicast feed! Hooking up an XP machine to the network works perfectly. I've tried 3 Windows 7 machines to far and all have the same issue. Using Wireshark, I have been able to confirm that the Windows 7 machines see the multicast traffic. Viewing is all done via the Axis camera's web interface which is running an ActiveX control called Axis Media Control, which has some options about network configuration and such. Again, works fine on XP, not so much with Win7

Same issue regardless of the state of the firewall.

I've got a ticket open with Axis tech support and they say that things work with their Windows 7 machines.

The only thing that I'm doing at my office that will be different than in the field is the switch - I've just got a non-managed Netgear GS108 in my lab, while there will be a 'real' switch in the classroom that supports IGMP snooping and other multicast friendly stuff. I can't see how that would matter, though, since I can see the multicast traffic on the target machines with Wireshark.

Any suggestions of areas to look into?

Thanks,

Andrew
