I hear what you are saying, but I think there is some benefit, at least in this situation. This is a commercial job, and the programs in slots 4-8 are for conference rooms in the building. Being able to work on a room that is available to me, and not have to reboot a room that is currently occupied, is a benefit.

Obviously, if I have to update something in slots 1-3, there could be an impact on all 5 rooms, depending on what resources they are using in them.

That being said, life would be much easier if I could deal with a single program, and not have a bunch of EISCs going on. But, then I would probably have to work a night shift if I wanted to get anything done.

I might challenge if it's even a benefit to run multiple programs at all if you're sharing logic between them anyway. There might be exceptions, but in general it's fairly useless to me.

I have a CP3 with programs running in 8 slots. Slots 1-3 are running programs to control the source equipment in the rack: Slot1 for DM and PAD8s, Slot2 for some media players, Slot3 for a pair of Biamps. Slots 4-8 are programs for individual rooms.

If I have signals that originate from Slot2, for example, and are sent to Slots4-8, is it more efficient to minimize the EISC traffic, even if it means some duplicate logic in the 5 program slots that contain the loom logic, or should I create a single instance of that logic in Slot2, even though it means more EISC traffic.

Obviously, it would depend on how much logic vs. how many EISC signals we are talking about, but I guess it's more of a theoretical question.

Don't take this the wrong way, but you actually made it all the way to taking the cert exam thinking that IR codes can just be translated to 232? Wow!

Sorry for the confusion Chip. I thought that IR codes could be easily converted to rs232 serial commands. I have now learned thanks to you and others that they are not they same.

I was able to find the serial commands in the Files section, and there was also a module that might be useful as well.

Thanks for the input.

Your posts are very confusing. (Or it's just been a long day. Or both)

You mention that you want to use RS232 control, but then you talk about capturing IR codes and using an IR bud. Not the same thing.

RS232 control would be using the DB-9 connector on the display and connecting it to a COM port on your processor. No IR. No buds.

There are at least two PFM series RS232 modules already in the SIMPL windows library. There's a decent chance one of them will get you at least power control of the unit, so I'd suggest looking at the documentation for one of the modules and fashioning up an RS232 cable...

If none of those modules work, I'm afraid your best bet to find the RS-232 commands (did I mention these have nothing to do with IR?) would be to call Sony and see if you are lucky enough to find a tech that's willing to dig them out for you.

New to this forum, or maybe a long time since my last post. I am working on one of my certification programs and have plasma display that is not listed in the Crestron DB. I managed to capture the IR commands from the remote using the Crestron IR learner, but I need to convert the commands from IR to rs232 since the cert instructions call for rs232 control instead of IR.

I entered the IR codes via the Tx signal to see if they work the way I thought they should be entered into a Serial I/O, but they aren't working. The power_cycle code is 0x010F, and I entered it into the Tx signal as &#92;x00x010F&#92;x03 and the plasma does not turn on.

I guess I am just missing how to enter the command into the serial I/O param. I tried "0x101F", but that doesn't do anything either.

I haven't tried connecting an IR bud to make sure they even work that way, but they seem to be the same as another model that is listed in the database.

Ah, I just saw the bit about Geoffrey Reynold's conversion program. I will try that and see how that works.

I think this belongs in the "Connecting Devices" section...

=================================================================

Q: Where can I find Crestron IR codes for a <brand> <model> ?
A: Discrete codes for most brands that support them, can usually be
found in the Crestron Database -- search by Manufacturer, then look
in the "Generic", "Multiple", or "UnClassified" folders.

Also, most devices will respond to IR drivers for similar models
within the same brand -- ie., the driver for the Mitsubishi HSU-780
will probably work with the 580.

The Remote Central web site has IR codes for a large number of
devices, in Philips Pronto format (see
).
Pronto-style codes can be converted into Crestron format by either of
two pieces of software: 1) Crestron's "Driver Editor And Learner for
Windows" (aka DEAL) can import Pronto-style codes one at a time, or
2) group member Geoffrey Reynolds has written an excellent utility
program that will convert an entire set of Pronto codes (embodied in
a .ccf file) into a Crestron IR driver in one step (see
for details)

Please don't ask the group for IR drivers until you've tried all of
the above -- it's generally considered rude to ask others to do
research that you should be doing for yourself.

Subject: [Crestron] Re: Core 3 - Cant print project document?!

So wait, you can't do a "print to file" to print the screen shots out to .jpg files anymore with Core3? My clients are going to LOVE that, considering almost all of them ask me to do this at the end of the project so they can use the screen shot to build a user manual for the control system.

Running the panel as an XPanel and doing screen grabs won't fly considering I don't have access to a processor after that the fact, might be at best a workaround for those luckily enough to have bench gear to run it on, but what about the rest of us?

Me thinks my clients are going to start seeing the woes of Core3 real fast when I have to tell them the software doesn't do that anymore... maybe more integrators will start seeing Core3 for what it really is now when it starts effecting them, and they can't put together a training manual for the client anymore.

I have a Client that has the same machine, and he's asking me about adding
music. I took the job over, so I know nothing about this piece. Would you
mind (or anyone) telling me how this is done? I know about the CAVS
website, which is terrible, and no new music since 2010. I found a lot of
music for it on other websites, but the cdg file doesn't seem to work with
the unit, it has to be a ngc or something, in order to get the words going.

Can anyone help me out with this?

I figured out how to number them and transfer them to the unit, and I can
get them to play, but I just get no words on the screen.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I have a client with an old CAVS JB-199 Premier Karaoke player that

hates the process needed to get new song files onto the unit ( USB, CD, or
clunky software provided by the manufacturer ).

Does anyone have a recommendation or know of a company that may have

some more modern features like the ability to download songs from an
onscreen interface?

Any advice is appreciated.
