Re: Crestron Socks character search limit

Chip
 

Shorter folder names.

Sorry man - that's all I got. :(

Chip,

Is there a way around this? I like this search feature and it does work,
only issue it only searches a few folders as most of my programs are
over the limit.

Thanks, cyberbri


Re: Pretty Toolbox splash

You're either not running the current version or you need to share your secret. The current version laughs at me when I try to open Outlook, Firefox, SIMPL Windows, VTPro...whatever - it's ALL hidden under the splash screen that rules *over* them all.

Re: Pretty Toolbox splash

 

Wait, the splash is only displayed for 2-3 seconds, or it takes 2-3 seconds after launching Toolbox for the splash to be displayed?

On a good day I might be in the latter; I can't fathom the former.

Um, no - that's not what they're talking about (at least not beyond the

"IRCOMMAND_45&#92;n" - that command has pretty much no correlation at all to
the actual IR command which consists of a pattern of on / off pulse

the RS-232 protocol.

I'm looking for a non-Crestron radio tuner that is controllable with feedback via RS-232 or IP, and offers a standard amount of presets.

The ADA Quadritune looks like a [pricey] winner, but I am open to suggestions both residential and commercial alike.

I think it does...The actual recordings are almost perfect...a few digital hiccups every once in a while(could be the SD Card I use for testing), servers for storage have been good also. ?The only problem you will have is that if the laptop presentation has HDCP content it will not record or display(so you will know).

They occasionally have laptop presentations that would need to appear on the recordings.? Does this aspect of the system work well?? My idea is to have the secretary control the system via a touch panel.? He/she would be responsible for actuating then PC input as needed.

Is this a reasonable application for this product?

The main issue I have with it is you cannot playback from it. If that feature could be added it would be a lot better. Easy to control. Setting up the IPT/z or whatever part # that sony camera is, sucks if you go by the manual. I had to download some sony software to set it up so I could set up the stream to the panels. my .01

What are you looking for -- programming? End user? Sales?

It's stupid easy to program basic functionality, though some aspects require more reading of the tea leaves in the help file than I'd like but for your first time there's enough to build a framework that gets you to a point where you don't waste much time onsite.

Setting a static IP via the front panel is a PITA until you realize that DHCP (completely different menu) has to be turned off for before a static IP will "stick" & the one time I tried using one in "Streaming" mode (I had some time to kill on a jobsite) I don't recall it working well, again that was only one time, and every CaptureHD I've done has been used in "Record" mode/as a VCR replacement -- e.g. user plugs their USB drive in, hits record, at end of meeting hits stop and take the drive with them.

Using a composite video camera input in the 2010s feels dirty to me and, it seems, most of my clients as well. As a result, every CaptureHD I've deployed has been the CaptureHD Pro (which accepts Composite or HD-SDI camera inputs; about 75% of them are using HD-SDI now, the remainder for future resistance) but I assume the differences between the two are not that great aside from that.

HTH,

Lincoln

VT-4000L Power

 

Does anyone happen to remember roughly what were the power requirements for the VT-4000L? The manual on the ftp doesn't actually say.

The VT-3500 was 24W, so I'm guessing it'll be somewhere higher than that. I just don't want to overload my power supply playing with an antique ;)
