Lots of sources-- would like some advice
Been playing around on paper with a system that I have to work on
soon. Its going to be 21 video sources that will be routable to any of 8 tvs. There are a few different matrix switchers involved, fyi. I am pretty sure that I am going to need 168 steppers to move each switcher to the right position. I am just confused on the best way to trigger each stepper. I am going to use two different crosspoints--1 for the room and 1 for the actual source (Thank you very much LKC, your advice is appreciated more than you would believe) Should I just interlock the rooms and the sources and use buffers to hit the correct stepper? It kind of feels like a waste to go through that since I am already going to be using crosspoints. Would analog equates using the equipment ID#s make any sense? If I came out of the room analog equate into the enable line of 8 buffers, I could then put the 21 different sources into each of the buffers using the analog equate outputs for the sources. So in total, I am looking at 2 crosspoints ---> 2 analog equates ---> 8 buffers of 21 inputs ---> 168 steppers |

Re: CEN-COM Falling Offline/Excessive Update Requests

1) Tape it to the switch???

2) With the unit on a switch, unless there is a lot of broadcast traffic, it should not be seeing much traffic. If it is broadcast traffic, maybe disabling it on the port. I do not know enough about the protocol but does Crestron use broadcast to the devices? Chris -----Original Message-----

Re: Refining serial I/O
danrobinanna
At the risk of sounding stupid, it would seem like a simple truth
table would take care of this. When the string is received, both will go high (or low) on the same wave. Zone 1 = 'cable' H and 'zone 2 cable' low Zone 2 is fine right out of the SIO. If you want it to go high on the same wave, just put it in the truth table as 'zone 2 cable' h with X for 'cable' or you could detect the \r and use it to clear a SR. Then detect the 'Zone 2 ' and set the SR. Then detect the cable and use the SR's output to route the pulse. The pulse will be one save long because the incoming \r will clear the 'cable' output. I might do this if there were a lot of Zone 2 commands and use two buffers (one each on the output of the SR) to send the commands where you want them. I apologize if I'm missing something tricky. --- In Crestron@..., "Chip Moody" <cfm@...> wrote: removing i.e.spaces in the string and/or replace them with other characters it."Cable\r" & "Zone2-Cable\r"... this effectively makes the second wrote: simulating digitalsthe strings in debugger.

How about making "Cable" into "Zone 1 Cable" instead? Valid option?

An incoming "Zone2-Cable\r" will trigger BOTH "Cable\r" and
"Zone2-Cable\r" parameters. "Cable\r" is still a subset of the incoming string and a valid match... - Chip --- In Crestron@..., "lunarteq" <lunartech@...> wrote: using analog init's instead? |

Pioneer BDP-05 Control
Does anyone have a IR file to be able to control a Pioneer BDP-05 from the rear control port?
I'm told that even though it's a "Pioneer Control" jack, that if you strip the carrier from IR files it should work with Crestron. I have tried with no success, so I was wondering if anyone else has succeeded and has the file. Thanks for your help. |

Re: OT: iMac

Slow Wi-fi reconnects are usually due to the router. Linksys are fairly slow. The Airport Extreme is pretty quick and I'm sure others will point out those that are faster, but they all come in quite a bit more expensive than the Linksys.

Re: Recommendations
Steve Kaudle
I'm not sure an RFQ is a good means of handling information
gathering...not that I haven't seen it done that way in the past. Questions like these, good as they may be, are going to generate a wide variety of responses, making comparisons of the responses difficult if not impossible. For example, question #1: I'd be hard pressed to deliver a competitive quotation for "review[ing] our current Room View 6 setup and see what other options we could add", unless you were A) going to make your RV system available for all perspective bidders to review, prior to bidding and B) tell all perspective bidders what you expected to see added. Assuming you're not intending this RFQ to serve as a quasi-interview like process, aimed at finding an AV contractor to work with you on a design/build project [unusual for institutional clients], I'd recommend hiring someone [technology consultant, AV contractor, AV programmer, etc...] to act as a designer/consultant and work with you to determine what's available and/or what you want the systems to do. More specific to the Crestron side of things, assuming your an A+ Partner, call your Crestron rep and ask him/her to stop by and spend some time going over your needs. Once you know exactly what you want, write a RFQ to that spec. That way the vendors will know exactly what the system[s] need to be, and you'll know exactly what your getting and how much it's gonna cost, before the first wire is pulled. --- In Crestron@..., Jon Bannan <bannan@...> wrote: have you had a client ask for the following items and how have you handledwas a way to get these included in a system review or something.Provost and the Cabinet regarding lamp hours, equipment usage, etc. So I'ma $ number right now, more of a "hey this is what one of our clients did or |

Re: iPod Touch/iPhone App

Funny, I was about to ask the same thing. I think I will email
Crestron as well since they clearly show in their software section currently "SW-MOB-AI" as a product, yet it sure as heck is not at the iTunes store. I've been using CF iViewer to this point and while the panel builder software they have is pretty clunky, it does work and their interface seems to work well once fully loaded. Still, it would be nice to have Crestron actually release this... Since they advertise it on their site and all. ~Paul~ --- In Crestron@..., "camaro1969addict" <tcichos@...> wrote: code?? Thanks, |

OT: iMac
galcala1031
Sorry about the OT but this is the best place I know to ask this...
client has an iMac that is connected wirelessly. Connection is WEP encrypted through a consumer grade wireless router (Linksys). The iMac is always on but goes into standby after several minutes of non-use. When it comes back on-line it takes 15-20 seconds for the wireless connection to be "remade". Is this normal? Any suggestions as to how I can reduce this lag time? Thanks |
