Re: Slider Crosspoint Issue
When I switch crosspoints the slider input value which ends up sitting on the output side of the abuf gets sent to the set volume input of my room module.
Thanks Heath. That is actually an idea I came up with last night and when I compiled I forgot to save the changes to the room module. I'm going to finish it now.

Maybe if you pass the press associated with the slider through the crosspoint to an ABUF in the zone's logic, then the interface's logic won't force through that value unless it's being pressed. Let the zone or audio device decide when its volume should be changing, (when it's being pressed) and the interface provide presses and feedback only.
I like to send the user interactions as far down the chain as makes sense, as to keep things as abstract as possible. Do the operations as close as possible to the things being operated on, and let the interface merely reflect what the device is doing.

I want to use a slider for volume and I use crosspoints for the interfaces
and room modules, like I'm suppose too.
When I use the slider on interface A it sends the volume to the room A
module correctly but that slider value is held in memory.
When I change to room B, interface A still holds the slider value and
changes the volume of Room B to whatever the slider was left at.

Hi!
Check this info about ex-link

Specially this!!!:
"As the TV uses 3.3V TTL levels, the serial input/output has to be
converted to/from TTL levels to RS232 levels (~10-15V). Thus a level shifter is needed. But most computers today, doesn't have an RS232 port, so you also need a USB-to-RS232 serial adapter (cable). Thus its a definite advantage to buy a pre-fabricated USB-to-serial converter using 3.3 Volt TTL levels on the serial side. Common one to look for are based on the PL2303 and FTDI chips. WARNING! RS232 levels are up to 15V, which can cause seriously
damage at your TV!"

Thanks for the responses:
The loop is actually present all the time. With no HDMI connection, it is impossible to detect except on a very dark image, as a very thin and dim rolling band. Plugging in the HDMI to any source in the rack causes it to become much larger.
This suggests to me that there has always been a loop issue but it simply wasn't noticed until we put in a big 80" tv. Even then it wasn't noticed until the problem was exacerbated by the addition of HDMI.
The band does not appear on any of the other TV's (older Fujitsu plasmas, component only, and a small Samsung, component only)

Subject: [Crestron] OT: Introducing HDMI to component distribution
(PVID/BIPAD) creates ground loop
Basically, the above. We've taken over an old analog distribution system,
and recently replaced an old Fujitsu plasma w/ a large Samsung LED unit. No
problem while on component distribution.
We were then asked to connect 'His Cable' to the new TV via HDMI as the
lead-in to a DM system. Pulled 2x Cat6 about 60' and used a Vanco balun to
accomplish this.
We now have a ground loop on component signals (additional cable boxes, BD,
AppleTV gen1) to the Samsung. No issue on the other TVs.
Disconnecting the HDMI from the cable box fixes the issue. Other cable
boxes/BD also reintroduce the loop. Have tried an isolator on the component
connections between the TV and the PVID, and the PVID and the cable box, no
change.
Any suggestions/fixes?

Someone would have a little tutorial or any tips to get to make this work, I was informed by another developer in Brazil that the Time Capsule is what might be causing this problem myself, I think this should not be the reason.
Please help me because I have only today and tomorrow to make it work.

Re: OT: Introducing HDMI to component distribution (PVID/BIPAD) creates ground loop
Thanks for the responses:
The loop is actually present all the time. With no HDMI connection, it is impossible to detect except on a very dark image, as a very thin and dim rolling band. Plugging in the HDMI to any source in the rack causes it to become much larger.
This suggests to me that there has always been a loop issue but it simply wasn't noticed until we put in a big 80" tv. Even then it wasn't noticed until the problem was exacerbated by the addition of HDMI.
The band does not appear on any of the other TV's (older Fujitsu plasmas, component only, and a small Samsung, component only)
I've been on the phone with our tech on-site off and on all morning, and he's tried every permutation we can think of.
Disconnected the cable feed from service.
Powered TV and equipment from one surge protector (Furman) via extension cord.

Subject: [Crestron] OT: Introducing HDMI to component distribution
(PVID/BIPAD) creates ground loop
Basically, the above. We've taken over an old analog distribution system,
and recently replaced an old Fujitsu plasma w/ a large Samsung LED unit. No
problem while on component distribution.
We were then asked to connect 'His Cable' to the new TV via HDMI as the
lead-in to a DM system. Pulled 2x Cat6 about 60' and used a Vanco balun to
accomplish this.
We now have a ground loop on component signals (additional cable boxes, BD,
AppleTV gen1) to the Samsung. No issue on the other TVs.
Disconnecting the HDMI from the cable box fixes the issue. Other cable
boxes/BD also reintroduce the loop. Have tried an isolator on the component
connections between the TV and the PVID, and the PVID and the cable box, no
change.
Any suggestions/fixes?

Hello All. I am the founder of HouseLogix, a Pennsylvania technology company. For those of you who monitor the Control4 world, you probably have heard of our VoicePod product by now. See www.voicepod.com. We are just launching VoicePod May 13th after three years of development and a successful six month beta program. We recently received a US Patent on VoicePod and have registered hundreds of dealers in the past few weeks.
In a nutshell, VoicePod is a new wireless device designed to "speech enable" any home automation system. Each VoicePod combines voice recognition (both speaker-dependent and speaker-independent) technology with speech-synthesis and text-to-speech technologies inside a small device with wireless communications. VoicePod is packaged as a wireless tabletop device with a built in speaker and microphone. But it can be wall mounted or rack mounted using external microphones and interface with external audio systems as well. All technology is embedded, so VoicePod recognizes commands instantly. Its voice commands and menus are completely customizable.
The first flavor of VoicePod provides both Zigbee support and serial integration through a built-in serial port. We are publishing VoicePod's serial integration protocol. We also have Wi-fi and iOS versions well underway that each will support full IP integration. I won't try to explain the whole product fully here since our website and videos do a good job of that. www.voicepod.com/faq has a lot of answers.
I'm here because we would like see some Crestron implementations of VoicePod. We are Control4 experts and Control4's DriverWorks tool allowed us to create very robust Control4 support for our launch. We have no expertise in Crestron (or AMX, Savant, etc) and are looking for some help with making sure our product finds its way into the Crestron world.
There seems to be a lot of Crestron expertise floating around this "colorful" forum so I thought I'd seek some partners and early adopters on here. Ideally, we're looking for experienced Creston dealers with a customers who want VoicePod. We'd like to work with some dealers to build a free (or marketable) Crestron module suitable for serial and/or IP integration with VoicePod. We would provide discounted hardware and a superb level of support to early adopters in the Crestron world.
Our product is a home run for both luxury living and for the disabled at the same time. If interested in working with us, feel free to email me at ted.rosenberger@

Re: Creating Epson serial module for Powerlite G5450
Not sure why you get an error response when you are only polling Power. Epsons return an error when polling source, mte, etc. while off, but the models I have used do not return an ERR along with the power status. What command are you sending? "PWR?\x0D" is the power poll command. Are you sure you are waiting for the ":" before sending another command?

I have created a module for our Epson G5450 projectors. Everything seems to work but I have a couple questions.
1. When the projector is "Off", I get a ERR\x0D when polling the projector, I will get the PWR=04\x0D also, that shows that it's off. When the projector is "On" I only receive the PWR=01\x0D response from the projector. I have the module set to pulse the "Proj is On" or the "Projector Is Off" based on the status returned from the polling. With this polling, my touch panel buttons are always in sync with the status of the projector On/Warmup/CoolDn/Off even if the projector in control by the IR remote. I see in the Crestron Module for the Epson G5650 (which uses the same commands) that they watch for the ERR or : (ack) but I can't figure out what they are doing when the response is received.
I created my own module so that I can monitor/control just what I need - Power On/Off, Pic Mute On/Off, Lamp Hours, Select HDMI Input
Does the ERR\x0D response cause issues after polling for long periods of time?
2. I have noticed that after the projector has been Off over night, that it doesn't respond to the Power On command from the button press. After the first time the power on press makes the projector turn on almost immediately. I don't see any shut down/sleep timers that are set in the projector.
Thanks for any info you maybe able to share.

Re: Apple TV Menu Button Not Working
Almost - I had one a couple of months ago, that wouldn't respond to the Select command from the IR driver (Crestron DB) that I've used on 100 other boxes.

Re: Samsung UE55ES7000 - EX-Link
At the moment I am using the program that is in the folder with the module from:
samsung_un55es8000_v1_0_demo
I've changed nothing so would expect it to be set up correctly.
I can send commands using Toolbox but nothing happens and I get no feedback from the com port.
The module offers lots of sends and feedback.
Maybe I should try the UN55ES7500 instead.

Unfortunately, there's bad history associated with much of history, but don't let that take away from the accomplishment. It was a different world. The ambitiousness of the guys that conceived of and the sacrifice of the guys who built those railroads is something that's rare or gone in today's world. Quite the accomplishment on so many levels.
