Re: Would like some guidance please

 

I will get it shipped right out, how many do you need? Lol. I was just guessing that you guys had spares. I have been lucky and got a couple left over from jobs that I test with.

really the only 3 series I have had an issue with is the av3, the cp3's I have not any issues from. Now that I think about it, I just have bad luck out of any AV processor. Doesn't matter if it is 2 or 3 series. I am just lucky like that.

--- In Crestron@..., "Chip" <cfm@...> wrote:


Lol. Let us know when you can ship over that "spare" processor. I don't think most people have those kicking around for testing like that.

And ironically, I've had just the opposite experience. I have a module that makes a Pro2 randomly watchdog reboot, (and even ATSG can't figure out why - it's not doing all that much) but in a CP3 it just purrs along forever.

Call Crestron. They should be able to unlock them for you. It will be a long process I am sure. Just a guess though. There are other ways that I have heard about, but I am not familiar with how to.

Re: Crestron for iPad

 

That's not true, these 30 iPads will not be on the same Apple ID. I don't mind my customers paying $99 for the iPad app, but think that customers that have paid for iPad functionality in their system should not have to pay twice. The explanation is techy, communication to customers should always be solution driven imo.

--- In Crestron@..., "amdtech2000" <jack.kolesar@...> wrote:

For $99? Hell if they have 1 iPad it is $99. If they have 30 iPads, it is $99. Sounds like a non-issue. You have a multiple factor of that invested in redesigning the panels.

Could be worse. AMX is over $700 PER DEVICE because they use a licensing system and the customer doesn't buy the app (it's free). They buy a license from YOU. That is a lot tougher to explain but is still WAY cheaper than buying an AMX/Crestron touch panel.

Here's a lowdown on a great "feature" in case anyone trips across it before you spend too much time tearing your hair out.

In the 2-series, if you have an array and attempt to access an element beyond what it's declared for, you get a zero result and (I believe) an error in the log. (A slap on the wrists, and obviously not the results you're expecting)

In the 3-series, however - the remainder of the code following the line the error is on is THROWN OUT like last week's rancid leftovers. You get an error in your log, sure - but anything that relied on the block of code completing ain't gonna get satisfied. (Y'know, like, turning off the semaphore on a parsing routine)

So make sure you do range checking before accessing arrays on the 3s... :(

Re: Comparing VTPro projects

 

I'm not really using it but it was mandatory to use if for my Master's
Silver exam so.....

My favorite "feature" of Studio was that when I imported a pre-existing and
rather complex SIMPL framework program to use as the core program for my
exam submission, Studio wiped out EVERY COMMENT on EVERY SYMBOL during the
import process. I didn't even notice this until after I'd submitted my
exam so I'm really hoping whomever audits my exam submission doesn't freak
out over the complete lack of comments in the core architecture and the
overly detailed comments in all the symbols that I added after I imported
it into Studio to modify it.....

Re: Mediasite and Pro3

 

I don't know about pause, but IIRC you can do record and stop via contact closure -- which is actually the direction most of my projects went in after the the serial control debacle.

Though I may be confusing MediaSite and MediaPointe in that regard.

Thanks Lincoln. Luckily all I have to provide is Record, Stop, and Pause.
It's in an intelligently designed control room with 6 routable monitors and they normally keep the Mediasite on one of those if they are using it.

It's bad enough that it will bite you on the 2-series, I don't see why
it would be much different on the 3-series.

It's been long enough that I've managed to block most of the memories
but IIRC, unless you lay out your controls on the VTP file essentially
identically to the demo panel you're in for a massive time sink. The
module also leveraged some panel quirks that are different from panel
type to panel type (e.g. TPS-xx vs. TPS-xxxx vs. TPMC-10 [yes, it was
that long ago] vs. TPMC-not10) and some slightly unusual ways of
getting text on the panel, including text append and scrolling text.

In other words, if you're going to try using it with a CORE3 panel,
plan on spending even more time and you might just be better locking
yourself in a hotel room for a few weeks and burning your own.

The old version works that way too - the project is constrained by display list size - 250K I think (i.e. the file that defines pages and objects and where they all go). Image asset size and how many pages aren't part of the calculation, other than more pages = bigger display list size.
