Panasonic AW-HE130
|
Has anyone had success controlling an AW-HE130 over ethernet?? This project was supposed to get an HE-120 but they were out of stock (likely discontinued) so we got the 130.? Everything appears to be the same as the HE-120 except it is POE and supports streaming.
The module for the HE-120 (and HE-60/50) controls it, but the manual controls (pan/tilt/zoom buttons) run away if pressed for less than about 2.5 seconds.? The Panasonics use HTTP for control, and I can see in debugger that the connection drops after a response, and is slow to reopen, which seems to be how it is missing the 'stop' command.? Preset store & recall works fine, which is the bulk of the use on this job, but I need to give them a way to set presets.? The web gui for the camera works flawlessly, but only works with IE, so I'm guessing there's something going on HTTP wise there that isn't happening from the module.? I've tried digging through the module and its multiple S+ children, but i'm not seeing anything that jumps out at me.? I can't do RS422 because the camera is POE and no room for an additional cable in the pipe (long story).? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Don |

Maybe the Panasonics support HTTP 1.1 (to keep a connection open) but for some reason the Crestron module is using HTTP 1.0? Using WireShark to look at the connection details when using IE would probably be a good start. On Fri, Sep 11, 2015 at 5:39 PM, bassman233@... [Crestron] <Crestron@...> wrote:

I'd definitely be interested in checking it out...I tried the email address you listed but it's getting bounced.

The module works fine for a HE-120 or an HE-60 on a 3 series, so I doubt that is the issue.? Jason's mention of HTTP 1.0 vs 1.1 may very well be the culprit.? The earlier models used 1.0 and reconnected quickly, whereas this model isn't reconnecting quick enough to be responsive with HTTP 1.0.? I'm off-site now but I'll do some wireshark digging when I get back there and see exactly what IE is sending.? If it is indeed HTTP 1.1, I'll have to do some learning to know what I need to change in the S+ parts of the module to make it work.?
Thanks for the suggestions everyone, I'll let you know how it works out. |

So I did some googling, and discovered that all the Panasonics have supported HTTP 1.1 and keep-alive since 2011, but the module is using HTTP 1.0.? I'm rewriting a couple of the S+ modules to see if I can make it work that way.? My fallback is to pull more wire and run it RS-422, but I hope it doesn't come to that.? I won't be on site until later in the week, but I'll let everyone know what happens.
Thanks, Don |

Follow up:? Even with rewriting the S+ modules to use HTTP 1.1 (which took some learning on my part, but eventually worked) the camera does not allow keep-alive.? Deep within the protocol manual, it specifically mentions this :(? We ended up pulling another cable and running it RS422, which works great.?
TL;DR:? Pull a separate RS-422 control line to Panasonic AW-HE130 in the future. |

I hacked the module to get this working a couple of months ago. If anyone needs a bit of help let me know and I can upload my version. It was a bit of a hack but I think I just played around with the TCP/IP connection and was able to make things a lot more reliable. Can't really remember off the top of my head what I did but I've still got the code.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI am working on a HE40 at the moment, would you be able to send me the module as well? Thanks James On 18 Jan 2016, at 18:01, marisbukels@... [Crestron] <Crestron@...> wrote:

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi guys Don't worry about sending the SIMPL + source, I wrote my own module. Thanks anyways James? On 18 Jan 2016, at 21:17, code_radio@... [Crestron] <Crestron@...> wrote:
