Re: Core3 Media Object performance?
Wow that's depressing. I played with the Media Player a little with 1 TP and idocv and Cen-track + Audionet. Could take a few seconds to connect and that was a small job with 1 TP. Is there anyone using the Mediaplayer on real jobs and the client is satisfied with the performance? I have an upcoming job with the Autonomics MMS2 and a bunch of TSW-1050s. Heath, are you saying don't even bother? I was hoping to save some time using the MP for the Autonomics. Or is this another example of the promised time saving turning into a time-suck...
Thx

Kaleidescape OSD 8.2.0 modules on 3-series - 100% CPU usage?
i have an AV3 on a large install the Core3 smart media object performance on the tuners is extremely slow & unreliable (using XPanel of TSW-750) i have tracked it down to the AV3 being too busy to process all the data that is exchanged back and forth with the smart media objects the CPU stays pinned @100% (OK, every few minutes it drops down for a few seconds & then back to 100%) listactivemodules always shows the Kaleidescape modules (& usually just them) when i looked yesterday to do the analysis the system was not being used there is an M700 & M500 and ~30 TSW/TST panels
anyone else using the kscape modules on s 3-series and not getting high cpu usage?

i'll be back on-site tomorrow to comment out the kscape modules to see if they are really the culprit

Re: Which DVD/VHS Combo Player?

I'm looking for a single player that will play both on the same output, preferably HDMI. I found that the JVC DR-MV150B will do this but it seems to be reaching end of life (or has).
On the other hand I may just substitute a standalone VHS if I can find one, since the also spec'd Oppo Blu-ray Player will play DVDs.
The Combo isn't set up to record so I don't think that's a must, nor must it have a tuner.

Very strange your having control issue for symetrix device.
i have done some legacy, jupiter series with the actual module with good success.
have you assign correctly controller number ?
Does the controller are on the unit you are connected to ? ( with your control system) If you try to talk to a controller who is not locate on the device you are currently connected, you will not be able to control it. you will need to connect to the other device or move the controller to the device connected to your control system.

If the issue is feedback, I did not rewrite the module but used SBuffers. It was an older system using the old module. Volume commands worked but the feedback was screwy. If this fits your issue than I can pass you that code. I have not touched a Symetrix in since that time, perhaps 6 years back.

Re: invalid escape sequence
You need to include the x for the \ escape notation The strings you're trying to incorporate with those escape sequences MUST be 2 characters long, and you have them defined as 20 characters - you could trim that down to 2 You have Pal declared as an integer, when I believe you meant it to be a string? If so, you need change how you have it passed in MAKESTRING (%02x would work if it were really an integer) and remove the [20] at the end of your MAKESTRING statement. If you meant it to be an integer, you have it declared as an array of 20 integers, which would make the MAKESTRING statements you have in those PUSH handlers fail.

Re: RAVA- TSW's with Holovision Door Station--HELP
sipremext has the same syntax as sipaddext. \x20 is hex for space. you need to have a space between values. Where I wrote \x20 you need to have a space. Thus, sipremext space phonenumber space ipaddress space panel name space port space group. This is why it's unfriendly. It is very easy to mistype. You can copy and paste, which helps but if you have a lot of panels this can get cumbersome
I am on site. I was incorrect in the command to change the panel name. The command is siplocalname\x20Name_you_want_to_give_Panel For kitchen that would be siplocalname space kitchen

It is a terrible example of what needs to be done. There are 2 ways to deal with RAVA. One is to follow the Crestron line and perform data entry into every panel. This has the advantage of being able to work even if there is no processor, as long as auto-discovery between the panels works. The second is to deal with everything in Simpl Windows by sending the correct string syntax to each panel. I think that syntax will be "sip:phonenumber@IPaddress:port"
You might want to start, particularly if you're new by doing the data entry into each panel and then following the example program.
The first thing you need to do is find out the phone number of each TSW panel. I'd also give each panel a name. You do all of this in Console in Toolbox. Connect to your first panel. Go to Console and type "sipinfo" This will give you the Panel's phone number. I make a list of each phone number for each panel and it's IP address.
Next I give each panel a name. In "sipifno" you will note that each panel has the default name Crestron. I'm drawing a mental block but I believe the command is "sipaddname" Give it a name.
"sipaddext" allow you to add an other panel's address to that panel's address book. The syntax is "sipaddext\x20phone_number\x20ipaddress\x20nameofpanel\x20port\x20Group.
"sipext" will give you all of the panels entered into that panel's address book in the form of phone number/ipaddress/name/port/group
"sipremext" allows you to remove a panel from that panel's address book either because the panel no longer exists in the system or you made a data entry error. This is the ONLY way to fix any data entry mistakes you make. Not user friendly so try and be careful.
Having done this data entry for each panel we move to the program. Drop the VoiP device extender into each touch panel definition.
In the SIO for phone numbers delete the phone numbers entered and add the phone numbers you copied from the panels on your job when you performed the "sipinfo" command. Then add the names you gave each panel with "sipaddname" into the serial send for panel names. Make certain the name and phone number for each panel match. In other words, phone number and name for panel 1, 2, and so on match.
Connect the outputs of the serial sends and SIO to the touch panel joins and VoiP device extender.
My experience is that you should ignore the groups and phone dial page. Add a few buttons from the phone dial page to the address book page. Unless you have a sip server in the system, no one is making phone calls outside of the closed system of the touch panels. You will need to find a ring tone and load it into the vtp file so that the panel being phoned will ring. You will need to have the serial text on top of the phone dial page moved to the address book page as it tells the user that a call is being made, is in progress or ended. You will want to add buttons for page all, answer, reject, end, and call. You might want to later add Do Not Disturb. I also found adding volume and mute buttons helpful.
Hope this helps.

Re: RAVA- TSW's with Holovision Door Station--HELP
There is any number of ways to attack it. You say you are fairly new to Crestron programming, so hopefully my explanation isn't too confusing. You'll need to understand signal routing using buffers or preferably crosspoints. This is an overview:
I don't do any setup in the panels at all (assuming that they are in their default state). If you take the "My_URI_Fb" output from the destination panel and feed it into the calling panel's "String_to_Dial" input. The panels will connect. I use crosspoint logic to make this happen across many panels.
Each panel has a CCROSS and ECROSS with the same ID (for convenience). Logic connects the calling panel's CCROSS to the destination panel's ECROSS, which causes the destination's URI to feed back to the calling panel and initiate the call. I also put the name of each panel in a SEND so that names exchange to the sending and receiving panel for "friendly" feedback. And, I make sure that the string_to_dial clears on hangup because we had problems with panels calling each other at program start - leftover values in them I think. When I press a given room's button, this string exchange handles the call. I never explicitly press "dial" at any time.
If you don't understand crosspoints (learn em!), this could be done with an IL, ABUF, SEND and MSP per panel. Interlock the ABUF that connects a given calling panel to it's destination and the destination panel's info will flow back to the source panel and instigate the call. Quite a bit messier with many panels.
At its most basic, I think it can be two signals per panel - with no setup in the panel. Beyond this, you really only need the answer and hangup buttons to make it work, and you don't even need to do that in Simpl if your FW is up to date. The reserved VTPro joins will work. I think I do a little "cleanup" when hanging up, so I do it in Simpl.
Regarding door speakers or audio-paging endpoints, I figure that the user generally only needs to call them, not the other way around, so this was really the only place I had to hard-code a URI in Simpl - for the Barix units. The calling panel hits the door speaker's crosspoint and receives the URL for the door speaker (via a SEND). The calling panel then calls the door which is in auto-answer door station mode. The calling panel's user decides when to call and when to hang up.
Hope that helps a little. It's delightfully simple to roll out once you get it going, and adding panels is a breeze.

Hey guys,
Im fairly new to programming crestron and now I have got to my first RAVA system that is making me do circles. Ive looked at all the example programs, and I cant seem to find anything that helps me out. Is there an example program with a TSW using RAVA and communicating with a Door station, or has someone done this that could give me a little help. I literally do not even know where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

One is to follow the Crestron line and perform data entry into every panel. This has the advantage of being able to work even if there is no processor, as long as auto-discovery between the panels works. The second is to deal with everything in Simpl Windows by sending the correct string syntax to each panel. I think that syntax will be "sip:phonenumber@IPaddress:port"
You might want to start, particularly if you're new by doing the data entry into each panel and then following the example program.
The first thing you need to do is find out the phone number of each TSW panel. I'd also give each panel a name. You do all of this in Console in Toolbox. Connect to your first panel. Go to Console and type "sipinfo" This will give you the Panel's phone number. I make a list of each phone number for each panel and it's IP address.
Next I give each panel a name. In "sipifno" you will note that each panel has the default name Crestron. I'm drawing a mental block but I believe the command is "sipaddname" Give it a name.
"sipaddext" allow you to add an other panel's address to that panel's address book. The syntax is "sipaddext\x20phone_number\x20ipaddress\x20nameofpanel\x20port\x20Group.
"sipext" will give you all of the panels entered into that panel's address book in the form of phone number/ipaddress/name/port/group
"sipremext" allows you to remove a panel from that panel's address book either because the panel no longer exists in the system or you made a data entry error. This is the ONLY way to fix any data entry mistakes you make. Not user friendly so try and be careful.
Having done this data entry for each panel we move to the program. Drop the VoiP device extender into each touch panel definition.
In the SIO for phone numbers delete the phone numbers entered and add the phone numbers you copied from the panels on your job when you performed the "sipinfo" command. Then add the names you gave each panel with "sipaddname" into the serial send for panel names. Make certain the name and phone number for each panel match. In other words, phone number and name for panel 1, 2, and so on match.
Connect the outputs of the serial sends and SIO to the touch panel joins and VoiP device extender.
My experience is that you should ignore the groups and phone dial page. Add a few buttons from the phone dial page to the address book page. Unless you have a sip server in the system, no one is making phone calls outside of the closed system of the touch panels. You will need to find a ring tone and load it into the vtp file so that the panel being phoned will ring. You will need to have the serial text on top of the phone dial page moved to the address book page as it tells the user that a call is being made, is in progress or ended. You will want to add buttons for page all, answer, reject, end, and call. You might want to later add Do Not Disturb. I also found adding volume and mute buttons helpful.
Hope this helps.
