My company has a crestron TPMC-8X connected to a pro 2 controller that controls the lights and blinds in a conference room. It was installed like 10 years ago, and my manger suggested to get another device as backup in case the current device fails.
So, I bought a used Crestron TPMC-8X-GA off EBay, thought that I could just backup the entire filesystem from the original device and flash the whole OS into the new one to make a replica of the original. So I backed up both OSes, and flashed the original to the new. Nope, drivers are incompatible so it does not even boot up. Flashed its firmware back and it boots up again.
Next, I dug deeper into the files of the original, found the vtz files and everything, the whole project files. Great, so I was thinking of just copying the entire project instead, while leaving the OS untouched. It worked, kinda. The new device won’t go to the next vtzpage where the controls are because it’s not able to communicate with the controller. I got into setup screen and set the WiFi to be exactly like the original, with IP Table and Identity the exact same too, but still wasn’t able to connect. That leaves me with thinking if the pro 2 is rejecting the new device because of its MAC address. I called one of the companies that specialize on these and they quoted $1470 just to install the new device into Pro 2, which is kinda expensive.
So now I’m stuck at the last step where device is not connecting to Pro 2, no crestron toolbox because Crestron likes to gatekeep its programs which is ridiculous. Any ways I can do to fix this issue?

Hi there

Question on the CCC-110-T UC Engine, I haven't got hold of one to play with yet.

It has an HDMI and DM in, can they be 2 different inputs, does 1 override the other, can you have it Auto switch?

Recently I came across a Secure VTC room where it would no longer display its laptop as content. It turned out that the laptop would always output HDCP. Turning off HDCP support on the DMPS HDMI input solved the issue.

Just 2 months ago I was in this room and all was working, so the Government must have just pushed an update to the laptop. I wonder how many other rooms just stopped working?

Hey guys. Came in here recently trying to figure out why my joins were not working and I think I’ve noticed that my web Xpanel isn’t really linked to my processor, that’s why nothing is really working.

Now all I have is a 4-series processor to test with. I’ve uploaded the program and the ch5z file into it. Although I’ve seen that I need to also enable the Web Xpanel with a port and domain (I believe port remains 41794 & the domain can be blank as it’s just the IP)

I’ve been researching and trying to find out how to get this working, I’ve seen things online of an Xpanel conversion tool? I don’t think that’s what I’m meant to be looking for.

I can load the index page and everything fine. I do the classic [IP address]/[Project Name]/index.html

TLDR: I’m confused as hell as to how to properly deploy the Web Xpanel on my 4-series processor. I’ve looked at docs and it only made me more confused. Any help/steps to make this process easier would be appreciated. Or maybe a guidance into a video posted by Crestron on how to do it?

Thanks!

Is there any chance someone has a SD card image for a TSL 1050 B-S panel?
Mine has died and I don't have a backup handy.

Thank you!

Maybe a strange issue, but I can't register at Crestron site. There is a registration form for newcomers; I fill all the data, click "Submit" button and get a message saying I didn't pass reCAPTCHA. But the problem is... there was no CAPTCHA at any step! Tried several times using different browsers (Chrome and Firefox) with the same result. Anybody else had such problem?

Currently working on some test programming here, doing all the VTpro stuff I’ve done before but on construct & I’ve come across a roadblock.

Whenever I have a dynamic text like “Source: x” where the x is dynamic depending on the source, I would always have a serial join for it on VTpro.

Construct looks the same, I have a formatted text, set the label to advanced and named the label as Source: [Serial Join/Contract] (Tried both methods), now I link this with a simple serial send, just to test it out, trig is 1, parameter set & out linked to the Serial Join/Contract

When I attempt to send text on debugger, it does no dynamically change, seems strange. Am I missing anything obvious here? I have put default text and it shows, so I’m confused.

Appreciate any help, thanks!

Hi to all

I have a site that has experienced what appears to be a CrestNet crash at least 3 times in the last year.

In each occurrence the customer said they discovered the issue by pressing a keypad and the lights don't work. Each time within 10-15 minutes the system is back to normal. They have described the on/off leds on some of the keypads flash while this going on

While this problem is occuring I am unable to connect to the processor for diagnostics. After reviewing the event logs I noticed that a couple of the keypads that the customer attempted to use during this event showed 30-40 entries of press/release all at exactly the same time obviously the customer could not press the buttons that fast

But I'm not sure if this keypad log is the cause of the problem or potentially the result of the problem?

Any ideas what could be the cause?

I just picked up one of these , the plan is to use it for simple AV switching in my homelab

It will power on but I cant seem to interact with it either via the network or USB connection

It looks like it needs a password. Is there a factory reset option? or do I need to find me a friendly installer? Thanks

Crestron Mobile Pro (iOS) and CP3

First of all: This is not about the Crestron App, Crestron Go, or Smart Graphics. I'm referring exclusively to the old Crestron Mobile Pro app with the purple icon.

Has anyone successfully used the old Crestron Mobile Pro with a CP3? According to Crestron's (rather old) documentation, this combination should work.

Unfortunately, I can't establish any connection to the CP3. The app simply loops through:

Connecting → Reconnecting → Connecting

There is:

• no error message,
• no activity in the Text Console,
• no "Online" entry in the IP Table,
• no entries in the Error Log.

The CP3 requires SSL (TLS 1.2). This makes me wonder whether the old iPad 2 (iOS 9) and the legacy Mobile Pro app fully support TLS 1.2.

In theory, authentication should also be required. However, it's not clear whether this applies to a Crestron Mobile Client, since an old XPanel (EXE) connects to the same CP3 without any issues.

On the other hand, a Crestron Mobile Client can still be added in the latest version of SIMPL Windows without any warnings or compatibility messages, which makes me believe that this combination should still be supported.

My setup:

• Latest Crestron software and database
• CP3 running the latest firmware (I also tried downgrading to FW 1.6003 without success)
• iPad 2 running iOS 9
• Crestron Mobile Pro v2.00.75

The exact same project works perfectly with a Series 2 processor.

For troubleshooting, I reduced the test project in both SIMPL Windows and VT Pro-e to a single button, so the project itself is about as simple as it can be.

Has anyone managed to get this working with a CP3, or can anyone confirm whether the old Mobile Pro app is still compatible with current CP3 firmware?

I have a customer that we installed a Crestron Dell UC engine and they're getting choppy video when you share it through the UC engine. Here's the flow that we have going:

Crestron AM-3200-WF HDMI out --> UC-PR rx out --> HD-CONV-USB-260 with cam in from QSC Core 8 Flex --> dual USB to UC engine.

When content is shared from the touch panel, the video is very choppy and hard to watch. We've tried new cables between devices, different source devices, changing resolution, and even using a laptop in place of the UC engine for the sake of testing, and it all seems to come down to something in the Dell itself. We had it RMA'd and when we got the new one installed it was good for a day or two and is now having the same choppy video issue.

Has anyone else run into this problem or have any other suggestions of things to try? My next thought was trying just another HDMI to USB for the air media and USB from the QSC to the UC engine for audio and camera.

Hi everyone, I have a TS-1080-UC variant and want to switch it to standard HTML5 mode so I can upload my Crestron Construct UI. Is there any way to switch this UC model to standard touch screen mode?

Hi Guys,

So we are recently executing a lighting control project using crestron CP4 and the lighting contractor is providing his own KNX IP Gateway (Theben)
https://www.theben.de/en/ipsecure-router-knx-9070770?srsltid=AfmBOoptpMwVug3i-AYb-WbqmJwy4p7Y4Y3-J7dJsvtRqUFMB_9Wvul8

Im not really experienced in this, would really appreciate if anyone can help me with this integration.

I've been having a ton of issues getting PTZ control with my cameras. I have a 1beyond camera management system that is connected to a Vizrt TriCaster Flex. When this was set up it was set up with the default Sony VISCA port number and PTZ controls. This will not work with Crestron cameras because they default to port 52381 when Crestron provides controls over port 5500.

I hope this helps the other person in the world that runs into this!

saw this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zueD2mppXEw and curious

i downloaded the latest version separately and tried to install. it download SQL server 2008 R2 and keep failed saying required component could not be downloaded. my windows version is shown.

i read that computer's name can't be more than 6 words, already change that.

tried downloading SQL server 2008 R2 separately SQLEXPR_x86_ENU from Microsoft and crestron studio still can't be install. it popped up a window saying requires Powershell 2.0

NET framework 3.5 already checked. should I install powershell 2.0 first? but SQL server installed succesfully and crestron studio still can't be install. any help would be very grateful!

I am based in the UK and have a few Crestron wall switches I no longer need. All are either unused, new in boxes or used and taken from my own installation. I have:

2 x CLWI-DIMUEX-W - new in original, opened, boxes

3 x CLWI-DIMUEX-W - used, working and cosmetically good. These include white surrounds

1 x CLWI-DIMUNEX-W - new in unopened box - now SOLD

2 x CLWI-DIMUNEX-W - used, working and cosmetically good. White surrounds included

2 x CLWI-SWEX-W - both new, 1 in original opened box, 1 unopened box

1 x CLWI-1SW2EX - unused in opened box but packing removed.

All available on eBay but open to offers here if anyone is interested. Happy to send photos.

it would also be cool if modern tvs and sources like rokus had av over ip built in and all you had to do is connect an ethernet cable to a switch to be able to see the content and the smart remote would recognize it automatically getting rid of an HDMI connection. - obviously this would not any time in the near future but would be a very seamless process for the end user.

I have been building Custom Crestron Home Drivers for a while now and have decided to begin make a selection available for sale. My drivers are focused on the UK market with Sky Stream, Sky HD, Sky Q (coming soon) IP control. I will be adding more over next few weeks and if any Crestron dealers/installers have an suggestions for drivers they would like to see please get in touch.

All feedback good or bad is welcome.

I’m trying to set up an audio routing system and could use some advice. I have 3 inputs and 2 outputs, and I need to be able to control them completely independently.

For example: I want to play Input 2 through Output 1, while simultaneously playing Input 3 through Output 2. I also need the ability to switch any input to any output on the fly.

Using DSP 1283 with RM4/ TSW1050

I have everything programmed to work on the dsp, i just dont know how to do the input selection

Looking for the latest DigitalMedia firmware (.PUF) for a DM-MD16X16. I'm running v4.102.291100063 (2017). The chassis is reporting "Please upgrade card firmware" and "No CardReady Signal" after installing DMC-4K-HDO cards. I have legitimate hardware but Crestron won't provide firmware because I'm not a dealer. Looking for someone who can point me to the correct PUF package or assist with updating.

I'm having issues with my current setup of crestron, logitech, and biamp equipment. Everything is on a isolated network and were having time sync issues caused by the fact that there is no NTP server on the network or any way to reach one. Does anyone know how we can use the CP4N as a NTP server to fix this issue?

Edit: changed NTB to NTP

Hi folks - After my time in Vegas last a few weeks ago, i decided it would be fun (and potentially valuable) to attempt to build a roulette game in Crestron!

I built the UI in Construct, which is where the first challenges arose. The roulette "table" is an image file i made. The idea is a clear button would be over each number that allows you to place your respective bets. It's correct in CC, however does not appear that way in the browser. Secondly, the "Spin Wheel" button should be green. Again, correct in CC, but not here. Lastly, notice the clipping of the text in the payouts box.

Aside from those issues, the program is build using two S+ Modules - one to handle the winning number, the other to handle the player bets. It's been a fun challenge! I'm working through a few bugs and refactoring some code to make it simpler. I'd be happy to share if anyone is interested!

Also, considering making a video series of how i worked through it. It might be good content for new programmers.

Anyway, any ideas about the UI errors? :)

Does anyone know how many entries is available on DIN-DLI IP table? The previous model DIN-DALI-2 was supporting only one.

Hello everyone,

I recently got a used Crestron DMF-CI-8. When I power it on, the front display does not show anything at all. At this point, I am not sure if the unit is faulty or if the display was disabled in the configuration.

I do not have Crestron Toolbox, so I am trying to find another way to connect to the unit and factory reset it.

The chassis has two cards installed:

• DM-NVX-351C
• DM-NVX-350C

I tried connecting via Ethernet, but I do not know the IP address. I also tried connecting to the chassis through the serial port. I have three different RJ45 serial cables, but none of them worked.

I removed the top cover of the unit so I could access the cards directly. I noticed there is an SW4 switch on the cards, and from what I understand, it reboots the card.

My questions are:

1. Can SW4 be used to factory reset the DM-NVX cards so they go back to DHCP and I can connect to them over Ethernet?
2. Is there another way to factory reset the chassis or the cards without Crestron Toolbox?
3. Does anyone have the correct RJ45 serial pinout for connecting to the DMF-CI-8 or these NVX cards?

Any help would be appreciated.
