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.

3 series are nice, but 2 series are more rock solid. I have seen some weird rebooting issues with 3 series that I have not seen with 2 series. I am not sure if it my fault or the 3 series "features."

Re: Passwords and project files
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.

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.

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..... On Wed, Aug 14, 2013 at 8:21 AM, eagrubbs <eagrubbs@...> wrote: **
I have the feeling you are the only one using Studio. I have it installed though.
Can you open vtpro and vtpro in studio at the same time?

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.

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.

Does anyone know if the Sonic Foundry Mediasite V1.0 module will work on a Pro3? It was easy enough to convert to compile for a Pro3. My Simpl+ skills aren't good enough to at a glance tell if the code will bite me.

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.
