Re: DM-MD6x1 - video is flickering
It sounds like a D cable issue.
toggle quoted message
Show quoted text
How long is the cable run and are you near any sources of electrical noise? Can you provide more information about the "flickering" though? Is it full-screen or just a portion of the video? What is the source when you are noticing the flickering? Is it common to all sources? If you send a low-res source (like composite video or a laptop with the resolution forced down to 640x480 or 800x600 or the like) does it still do it? -- Lincoln King-Cliby, CTS Sr. Systems Architect | Crestron Certified Master Programmer (Silver) ControlWorks Consulting, LLC Crestron Authorized Independent Programmer -----Original Message-----

Re: OT - Things to do in NYC after Masters
Hi All,

I am in the process of putting together our third trip to NYC - our last was Jan/Feb this year and this one is in 7 weeks yesterday. I agree very with Lincoln, and add: The Metrocards are purchased from select stations, but if you are going from NJ into Grand Central via rail (easiest way from where you will be staying for Masters) you can get them there, and grab a subway map too - it will be your best friend. Take a Helicopter ride - will cost about $115 per person for 15 minutes, but well worth it. (go to viator.com) If you like live music, we loved "Village Underground" (103 W 3rd) in Greenwich Village. For an insane desert - Serendipity 3 (from the movie) (225 E 60th Netween 2nd and 3rd) Alternative ice skating, much cheaper (and better IMHO) then Central Park - Bryant Park (42nd and 6th) which you can do walking distance from Central Station. By the way the vault Heather was talking about in Grand Central outside the Oyster Bar (lower Level) is called the "Whisper Wall" and is very freaky - you can hear the person standing about 60ft away as if ther were beside you. Also the Oyster Bar serves the best New England Clam Chowder in NYC - for $6.50. Hop On/ Hop Off sight seeing bus - but will be bitterly cold!. Deinately an extremely touristy thing to do. Get your tickets from Gray Line (1560 Broadway Time SQ or online graylinenewyork.com) If you like Police history - the New York City Police Museum (100 Old Slip). Has a great Exhibit on 9/11 which is extremly moving. Walking distance from Staten Island Ferry terminal (Definately get straight back on - do not bother going to the Island) Finally if you enjoy shopping - Macys Herald Sq (34th and Broadway) or if you have time, Woodbury Common premium outlets (Google them or go to the Gray Line for bus tickets from Port Authority).

Re: Axis VAPIX module?
Andrew Yalowitz
Once I resolve my Axis multicast issue (see thread from earlier today), this was my next area of inquiry. I'd have to say that, looking over the API docs on the Axis website, it looks pretty straightforward for the sort of basic PTZ / preset control that I typically would be most interested in.

Re: User Module vs. Simpl Symbols - File Size, Compile Time, and Resources
Hi Jason,
As Heath says, it's hard to comment on why compile times/program size are what they are in your case, though I think he was drawing attention to the fact that your system design apparently grows exponentially as either increases - which can't be good. In terms of Modules vs. "straight" Symbols I'll do my best to shed some light on things (assuming I've understood the situation correctly...): Simpl Windows user modules are purely a convenience. They provide encapsulation of reusable logic which allows for reuse, easier/safer modification of multiple instances, code readability (one would hope!) and smaller main program size. For each instance of your logic in your program, if you include a reference to the user module, your program file contains a single reference to the user module logic, as opposed to all of the symbols that are contained within. That would account for the huge variantion in size of your SMW file. When you compile, simple windows reads the user module and *effectively* in-lines your module in the compilation - a new set of symbols for each and every reference. The resulting compiled program is exactyly the same - no difference in symbols/signals/processor resources. It's not like a traditional library module that has a shared code segment. Unfortunately, I have a suspicion that Simpl Windows reads the user module each and every time it is included, which will also account for the significantly longer compile times when using masses of modules. [Possibly a contributor as to why SB takes so long to compile?] The basic "primitive" symbols are all read into Simpl Windows at startup (part of the long program startup time!) so a program comprised of native symbols will not share that file IO overhead. Having said that, the benefits of using modules will normally far outweigh any compile time overhead, so they're definitely a *good* thing. If you're finding the program unmanageable or compile times are longer than you'd like, I would be tempted to look at why your design requires "Rooms * User_Interfaces" modules. Heath's suggestion of using Crosspoints should provide a much more linear growth. Hope that helps, Ol |

Re: OT - Things to do in NYC after Masters
(warning: Excessively long post follows)

My first "real" trip to NYC was my 3rd Masters and in the middle of January. I spent a lot of time (the better part of 4 days) walking around outside in ~18degree (F) temps and until I found darted into a dug store to grab a (ugly but useful) knit head thing my ears would go numb after about 45 minutes, but otherwise it wasn't too bad. I've used my HHonors (Hilton) points cache to stay at a few properties on Manhattan. I'd pass on the Waldorf (not impressed by the location or service -- seemed to be riding on reputation) but the Hilton Times Square is possibly my favorite hotel in the US. Decent sized, clean and modern rooms with good service and a great location (it's almost literally right on top of the Times Square/42nd Street MTA station and from there you can get anywhere pretty easily). - I love MoMA and not the biggest fan of the Met but you should go at least once. The Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum is also one of my favorites, though I don't know if they've finished their renovation project. The Guggenheim is also a NY landmark, but the exhibitions can be kind of out there. Definitely consider what's on display before deciding to lay down cash [if you have Museum Staff ID, though, make sure you show it at any of these] - For Broadway, if you aren't wed to a particular check out the TKTS booth for discount tickets day of show. One of my favorite things to do is just go down there, and pick a show I've never heard of, or heard very little about and get a ticket. The tickets are usually pretty decent. But I've also been burned (Boeing Boeing and Next to Normal - Awesome; Fela - So far beyond awful I managed to get a partial refund.) - Central park is a must. If you wander in at the lower east corner (what is that 5th Av / 59th St?) you can follow the paths up to the Met, just a little but further and you find the reservoir; if you duck out to 5th Av you're not that far from the Cooper-Hewitt. If the timing is just right, there will be just a little bit of snow on the ground but the pathways will be clear and it's an absolutely beautiful sight. - Just get an unlimited ride MetroCard and ride the subways around. MTA's Arts4Transit program is awesome as far as planned public art goes and you'll see plenty of other interesting things along the way. - In a similar vein, just walk the streets. One of my favorite things to do anytime work takes me to a city, and NY is no exception, is to just wander around without a map or plans of any kind. I'll see something interesting and stop in for a bit; eventually I'll start to get hungry and just let my nose guide me to something that smells good. I've found plenty of decent, literal holes-in-the wall that you would never hear about from any tourist this way. - Radio City Music Hall is an interesting tour, but I'm a little biased because the first and only time I've done it was the day before I attended the Tony Awards. /That/ was fun. - When in doubt ask a cop. Most police officers (NYPD included) are rather friendly. And they also usually know a good place near by to get a drink / eat / not get shot. The most confused I've ever seen a cop was when I asked a NYPD officer if he would mind taking my picture as I left the Tonys. After the "You...want... me..." stunned reaction, he happily snapped a few. - Check out Lincoln Center. Again a little biased (or perhaps pseudo-narcissistic) - I would probably not do the Empire State Building again. Nothing but tourists, and in a city with so much else to offer kind of an overpriced waste of time, IMHO. NY really is my favorite city, I just wish we had more commercial projects out that way so I had more of an excuse to visit. And now I'm /really/ hoping I can make it to Masters. -- Lincoln King-Cliby, CTS Sr. Systems Architect | Crestron Certified Master Programmer (Silver) ControlWorks Consulting, LLC V: 440.449.1100 x1107 | F: 440.449.1106 | I: Crestron Authorized Independent Programmer -----Original Message-----

Re: OT - Things to do in NYC after Masters
I grew up in NY but don't live there any more. However, here are some things to think about.

In NYC you really have 2 Art museums 1) the metropolitan museum of art 2) the Guggenheim museum - modern art with the building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright Both are excellent. Check what is showing at each and that can help you make a decision. I would also add to your list September 11th memorial Window shopping on 5th ave. Store displays can be pretty amazing in December even if you can't afford to buy anything :-) Depending on what is showing - Lincoln Center for the performing arts Of course asking what to fit in for a weekend is an impossible task given how much there is to see in NYC If you don't want to spend a fortunate on dinner you can just go to Chinatown and find the restaurant with the longest line. If the locals are willing to wait in line you know the food will be really good. Hope this helps Jay ----- Original Message -----

Re: OT - Things to do in NYC after Masters
I do this either on my own (or with my GF last year) every year at Masters.
1. Guggenheim (MOMA is great, but if you have to pick one, go for the Guggenheim) 2. Museum of Natural History/Hayden Planetarium 3. If you like stand-up comedy, shows are cheap and plentiful. It's not hard to catch a big name on any given weekend. 4. Go check out Ground Zero/Freedom Tower site. It's worth it just to see the construction of the new towers 5. Empire state/Chrysler building are a bit cliche but worth it if you've never been before. 6. Ellis/Liberty Island tour. 7. Grand Central Station 8. Madison Square Gardens/Yankee Stadium if you're into sports 9. Wall Street 10. 5th Ave if you plan on letting your wife shop and want to come home broke.... 11. Skating in Central Park South (5th Ave & W 59th SE corner) 12. Central Park Zoo 13. Eat Italian food in little Italy...... (This should be #1 IMHO) 15.
