Re: When to use a cross point
There's nothing worse that taking over code, hitting F2 on a signal and having it trace to 20+ buffers and then realizing that the whole project is built that way. ?I know tracing cross point connects can sometimes be a little difficult, but nothing like having to trace through hundreds of buffers and the enable for each of those. ?
For small commercial systems, most of the time they are not necessary. ?For residential or large scale commercial, they are an absolute must for organization and future expansion. ? |

Panasonic AW-HE130
Has anyone had success controlling an AW-HE130 over ethernet?? This project was supposed to get an HE-120 but they were out of stock (likely discontinued) so we got the 130.? Everything appears to be the same as the HE-120 except it is POE and supports streaming.
The module for the HE-120 (and HE-60/50) controls it, but the manual controls (pan/tilt/zoom buttons) run away if pressed for less than about 2.5 seconds.? The Panasonics use HTTP for control, and I can see in debugger that the connection drops after a response, and is slow to reopen, which seems to be how it is missing the 'stop' command.? Preset store & recall works fine, which is the bulk of the use on this job, but I need to give them a way to set presets.? The web gui for the camera works flawlessly, but only works with IE, so I'm guessing there's something going on HTTP wise there that isn't happening from the module.? I've tried digging through the module and its multiple S+ children, but i'm not seeing anything that jumps out at me.? I can't do RS422 because the camera is POE and no room for an additional cable in the pipe (long story).? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Don |

TSW-1052 Subpage not clearing on Main Page
Hi there, I am having an issue where I have a subpage for?Single setpoint control on?thermostat CHV-TSTAT and everytime that i upload my files to the mc3 or the screen goes on standby and i wake the screen, the Subpage for the Single setpoint control appears in the middle of screen by itself. Does anyone have any idea why tis is happening? I have already made it invisible on my VTPro. ? |

Keep in mind that all your touchpanel page logic could be on the to side of the crosspoint, that way touchpanel can operate independently, but still show the same feedback information depending on what equipment it is controlling.

Re: Old VT Project Opening Empty

As a taco on to Oliver's note, don't use a & in the room name of the Fusion room symbol. It makes the Fusion Symbol discovery process choke and die. Basically, avoid '&' anywhere it might possibly be put into an XML file, since Crestron apparently doesn't escape them correctly in any situation.

Re: C2N-CB OLD Style Having trouble making it dim of one button
I just downloaded the CLX-1DIM8 Module from the Files folder and what I did was used a Toggle symbol to toggle from raise to lower and is working now. The other problem i am having now is that it only dims, if i press the button once, the lights will not turn on or off. I have to hold every time I want it to turn on.?

Re: When to use a cross point
With crosspoints, it was super easy to set up a client with 13 ipad minis, all able to roam and be selected to control any room in the house. ?Without crosspoints, this would take a huge amount of signals. ?
I started seeing the benefits when they started incorporating the xpoints into the hardware interface symbols, and the example programs. |

Re: Old VT Project Opening Empty
A bit OT, but in a similar vein, when creating custom themes, DO NOT use '&' in the theme file name. VTPro will do some very odd things like not show?the first instance of a?subpage... It's an issue with VTPro, rather than the theme, and this is true for themes created in Studio as well as, err, other theme editing software products. |

Re: When to use a cross point
Heather Baiman
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýOne of the bonuses that came when I converted to crosspoints from buffers (many years ago now) was panel tracking for sources.? I had always wanted all panels that were controlling the same zone to track source control and I couldn¡¯t get my head around all the buffering and nonsense it would take to make this happen with all interfaces. When I moved to crosspoints it happened as a byproduct of the way I setup the crosspoints. ? So let's say, if the TP in the wall is on "Radio" and the touchpanel in the user's hand changes the source in that room, the panel in the wall will update as well.? I only have panels track sources, that way one person could go the wall and change the temp on the HVAC page and not disturb the person on the source control page. ? There is a lot of power in them and even when I have to do an occasional one or two room TV system, I still use crosspoints? and all the same logic (that's applicable) that I would use in a 40 room system.? This way as I update systems going forward I can easily drop in the new features without having to "custom" them for different programming methodologies. ? From: Crestron@... [mailto:Crestron@...]

? If I have a button press and feedback for a DVD player, that same signal goes on all panels. I don't see a reason to buffer it with tp1_play and tp2_play, which I guess what crosspoints are doing in the background.? ? More or better examples would be great!

Re: When to use a cross point
Well yeah, except panels acting independently with how I've been coding them is just separate page flip logic... and for me that's an INIT/EQU.
If I have a button press and feedback for a DVD player, that same signal goes on all panels. I don't see a reason to buffer it with tp1_play and tp2_play, which I guess what crosspoints are doing in the background.? More or better examples would be great! |

Re: When to use a cross point
There are some huge benefits. If you need every panel to act independently from each other and control the same devices is the biggest benefit. Once you have the first panel done with xpoints,adding more panels is just a copy paste and rename with new xpoint numbers. They definitely have their use.

Re: When to use a cross point
Crosspoints permit multiple panels to connect to and control the same rooms and devices.? That's the whole point of them.? Crosspoints also eliminate the need to have multiple folders filled with buffers for every panel.? You're first paragraph is actually a perfect example of when crosspoints would be beneficial.?
