Re: Old VT Project Opening Empty
Andrew Welker
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.?

Re: When to use a cross point
I'm not finding any compelling case for using crosspoints when you have say, 3-4 panels and they are all exactly the same GUI, controlling everything. I'm sure it might make sense if you have a Room1 panel controlling Room1 and Room2 controlling Room2, but I simply found it easier to program for 1 panel, carefully naming signals, and the copying the whole folder structure and renaming tp1_ to tp2_.?
I'm also not entirely sure I follow the whole connect/disconnect schema. I assume it doess allow multiple panels to control the same device simultaneously?? |

Re: When to use a cross point
I started using crosspoints and never looked back. ?Much better than folders of buffers. ?I just keep the same crosspoint ID's between projects for various devices, and it makes it easy to copy from project to project. ?The zones get a crosspoint, the Gui's get a crosspoint, and the "sources" get a crosspoint. ?I find that programming every touchpanel to control any zone, and source, for every job, is easier to program than adding in the flexibility later. I ?can do this very easily with crosspoints, and not have the huge overhead that doing the same thing with buffers would create.

Re: Polycom SoundStructure module stops working
"The Crestron mod works a little differernt than the actual Polycom SS Dialer UI"
I tried reporting issues with the VoIP SS module to TBTS - specifically with the Flash function. I was told that no one else had complained about the functionality, and my case was closed. Found out from the SS API doc (and confirmed with Polycom support) that the command the I2P module was trying to use wasn't even part of the API, and as such did nothing but generate an error. :/ ? - Chip |
