Re: Panasonic Projector PT-DZ870 and Digital Link for control
thanks for the help yesterday.? Turning the projector on and off and switching inputs seemed to work nicely.? Now they are asking if there is a way, I can put lamp hours on the touchpanel.? I put in tcp/ip connection, but it would keep connecting and disconnecting.? Seems like it would on stay connected for about 15-20 secs at a time.? After looking at the response I was getting once it was connected, I think maybe I need to put in username and password.? I was just curious if anyone has any luck controlling this projector via ethernet and how they would keep the connection open?? I was looking at maybe using the Panasonic PT-DZ12000 IP module from the app market.
Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

They now sell a USB drive that you can plug-in
with one of your VC licenses on it so that the VC computer
doesn¡¯t have to be internet facing
Can you elaborate on the VC-4 offline licensing.? It
was my understanding a processor running VC-4 had to be
online periodically to validate its license which meant
it couldn't be used in an off-grid environment.
Thanks

Re: Adding Shure MTX Mute to SIMPL Program
As Chris said, tcp/ip client on 2202.
SIO with inputs and parameters:
Mic.Poll : <GET DEVICE_AUDIO_MUTE>
Mic.Mute.On: <SET DEVICE_AUDIO_MUTE ON>
Mic.Mute.Off: <SET DEVICE_AUDIO_MUTE OFF>
Parameters and outputs:
<REP DEVICE_AUDIO_MUTE ON> : got.mic.mute.on
<REP DEVICE_AUDIO_MUTE OFF> : got.mic.mute.off

Re: Adding Shure MTX Mute to SIMPL Program
You will need to add a TCP/IP client to your program and connect to the button on Port 2202. You won't find anything specific for the MXA mute buttons in the Crestron database.
From there connect the Serial joins from your SIO to the TCP/IP client.
The rest is all just programming using the commands you want to send / receive inside the SIO. You can just play with sending / receiving commands inside debugger once you have the TCP/IP client if you are not sure what exactly to put in the SIO.

Had to laugh, someone on r.crestron says he has a new in box RMC4 for sale - asking for $10,000

I believe they are talking about a USB drive you can you use.? It
will stop the VC4 from going out to check.

Re: Panasonic Projector PT-DZ870 and Digital Link for control
Seems fairly simple? :)? ?all I would need to figure then would be the IP address of the projector for roomview connected display defination?
|
Re: Panasonic Projector PT-DZ870 and Digital Link for control
You're on the absolute right track.
Add the projector to your code as a roomview connected display as an ethernet device. Note that if you go above IP ID 09, you will have to convert to hex when entering the ID in the display.?
No need for an HDBT receiver on DM out 3. Just connect the output to the Digital Link Input on the projector.?
Also, when setting up the projector, you might need to go download the Crestron Roomview xPanel tool if your projector has a flash based web gui.?

Re: Adding Shure MTX Mute to SIMPL Program
Thanks Phil. Looking into this now.
I said MTX, I meant to say MXA.
This is what documentation I see from Shure. Not sure how exactly to incorporate with an SIO.

Panasonic Projector PT-DZ870 and Digital Link for control
I am a little confused on how to set this up in the program (SIMPL).? We have a DMPS3-300-C as the processor and switcher that we are going to use DM output 3 to connect to the Digital Link input on the projector.? Would anyone have some screenshots on how they may have set this up in the program?? From reading some of the post about this in the past I am still a little confused.? Do I need to use a HDBT receiver definition on the DM 3 output and then also a roomview connected display (or TCP/IP) on the ethernet devices (using something like IP-ID 05)?? Any help would be grateful as I rarely run into this type of situation.?

PYNG-HUB supports only the Sonos CONNECT & CONNECT:AMP models running S1 firmware, as shown on P.2 / P.30 / P.153 of the OS 1 manual.
?
"Only Sonos CONNECT devices may be discovered. Other Sonos devices, such as the PLAY:1? device and PLAYBAR? device, are ignored by Crestron Pyng."

Re: Marantz NR1711 AVR - IP Control via SMW
Lemme see what we did to get it working. ?I know we have several of them out in the wild. ?The protocol I believe is available on the website also.?
|
Re: Adding Shure MTX Mute to SIMPL Program
I used an SIO to send commands last time I had to deal with Shure MTX - the protocol is on their website if I recall correctly.

Considering the last firmware release for the Pyng-Hub was Aug 2019 and it wasn't until Oct 2020 that Crestron came out with a patch for the CP3 to fix the Sonos issue, it is unlike that the Pyng Hub will work with Sonos S2.? Your only hope would be to downgrade to Sonos S1 and then maybe it might work.

Re: Marantz NR1711 AVR - IP Control via SMW
The module for the Episodes is a complete mess FWIW.? For some reason they have input toggles, no idea why.? There are multiple other issues as well.
