Re: Which DVD/VHS Combo Player?

Most consultants would say they would love to agree with you, but when
customer requirements dictate VHS capabilities and won't take no for an
answer, you either spec them or you don't get the job.

This is particularly a problem in universities and other similar
institutions which have a large existing library of VHS material and
copyright laws prevent them from making DVDs of the material, or at least
that's what their lawyers tell them.

I myself still have VCRs in my AV system and have thought about getting rid
of them due to their very rare use, but wouldn't you know it, the last time
I had one die on me, I had a lady show up as a guest instructor and
wouldn't you now it, she had a #$%^ VHS tape!

It ain't always black and white ;)

http_connect is going high, but the signal to your TCP/IP client is named
connect_http, so nothing ever happens.

Hi,

I'm trying to follow a very simple tutorial to send out a GET http
request. This is the tutorial in question:



I've been following the tutorial word for word but I am not having
success. Believe it or not I've spent many hours trying different things to
no avail. I was hoping someone might be able to shed some light.

Below is a screenshot of how I set it up in simpl windows, and then what I
see in the debugger when I try pulsing http_go. I can never see anything
come in on http_rx.



As per the tutorial I verified that when I execute 'testdns google.com'
in the text console I do get a proper IP address back.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

Re: analog ram and analog ram from database

 

No, you do not need ARAM from database. ARAM and (and SRAM) from database are quirky little buggers that do not need to be used frequently and I can tell you with some certainty will not work for what you're trying to do.

Also, I'm sure you already know but just to be clear all RAM in Crestron is positionally sensitive, e.g. if you have an ARAM symbol and either add another *RAM (or SIMPL+ with nonvolatile variables) above the original ARAM symbol, or expand the ARAM symbol and insert a value any values 'under' the original value will no longer be what they were. Thus the "store and recall last states ARAM should probably be at or near the top of the program to avoid disruption.

Re: Which DVD/VHS Combo Player?

 

I vote to tell the consultant their nuts, and to choose another line of work if you're specifying VHS players.

Or, take all the VHS content and provide files for the content, as a service of course.

IMO, anyone providing VHS quality playback from antiquated formats is doing a disservice to their clients. The only tape format that I would consider is DVC.

--- In Crestron@..., "Nick" <nick@...> wrote:

So, apparently consultants still spec these for new state of the art installs.. But the one they spec'd is no longer available and they had to use two DMC input cards, one component for DVD and one composite for VHS. Kind of a lot of cash to hook up one player with two cards.

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.

Any others out there?

Crestron APP Crash FYI

Charlie
 

Have a system with a CP3N using the Crestron APP (Core 3). It was working fine for a few days when the APP on the iPad Mini quit loading. It would try to connect and then kick you out of the app completely. Interestingly, I had another APP on a different programming slot on the same processor that worked fine on the same iPad. After three TB calls it turns out that the Simpl program got corrupted. Just replacing the App symbol in Simpl on a different IP ID fixed it. Before deleting the bad one I just copied all of the signal names to the new one. Weird.
