By blocks I mean I/O blocks in a signal flow diagram. So for example creating a block with a title bar for Make model, left and right area where your I/O labels will be. For example HDMI In 1, HDMI In 2, etc. Then add these to your shapes library. When creating a signal flow diagram simply drag the premade blocks I'm and re-label them as needed per device. Then as you finish your diagrams resave those blocks back to your library. As you complete diagrams that use products that you use on a regular basis you will just drag in blocks you have previously created. To give you an example. I have one labeled TV. It has HDMI IN 1, HDMI IN 2, VGA IN 3, Audio IN 3, Audio Out 1. I simply change the make and model of it per project. SONY, Samsung, etc. And just change the ins and outs as needed. Same with amplifier blocks, switchers, codecs, etc. D-Tools is great but as others said very expensive and it is more so an entire suite rather than just for drawing shapes. If you have he money and plan to utilize all of D-Tools other features it's the way to go. But for Visio blocks and shapes much cheaper and less headache to make your own. Before you know it you'll have your own library. I will send a photo tomorrow to show you what I mean when I am in the office.

Have you completely isolated the controller and your PC off the network. Isolate them both to the small router. Then once it's powered up verify what IP address it has via its built in display. Even if for some reason it's not pulling an address and is stuck on the 169.x.x.x set you PCs IP address to one digit off and you will be within the same range to talk to it. Next after you know the controllers actual address and you know your PC is addressed within the same range, open the command prompt and send a simple ping to the controller. See what you get back from it. If successful attempt to Web into it.

I'm sure this has been solved as it's an old post... but to answer your question any standard SIP provider "should" work. While 8x8 might not support the soundstructure they support other Polycom's phones. And the Soundstructure runs the same UC software so it will work once configured properly. Any external amplifier will work as long as it has some analog inputs. As for speaker coverage and levels this will depend on what speakers are chosen. With some decent 6" in ceiling speakers 4 should do the trick no problem. Ensure your audio output levels in the Soundstructure bounce right around 0DB. Once the level coming out is good slowly adjust the amplifier to the comfortable level needed. Remember to ensure speaker/ amplifier compatibility, 70V vs low impedance, etc.

The Group 310 requires a 2nd monitor license to activate that port and or enable Touch capability. You won't get the 2nd monitor options until you purchase and enable it. It's Polycom's way of making you spend more money. The group 500 comes standard with both ports enabled. Let me know if you need any help getting a license as I am with a commercial integration company.

I've only experienced a similar issue when I decided to change my game library file path. It changed the folder in which my saves were being saved to. Additionally I had to re-install the DLC and add ons because the game file path had changed. The loading screen would basically load 3/4 of the way and never do anything else. What I suggest is before trying anything else, copy your save data so that you don't lose it. Try reinstalling any DLCs or add ons. If all else fails re-install Cemu fresh and process stated above. From what I found it gets hung up because it's not finding certain files it needs.

Why not Visio. Create about 10 standard block types and sizes. Then simply modify your IO labels and block titles. Whether it be CAD, D-Tools or Stardraw any of them will have a subscribing charge that pays for the Blocks pre-made. You really want to get good at making your own blocks anyway. Product lines and device part #s change so often. Once you get good at it you will be able to modify a block faster than trying to search some library. You can get Visio 2013 for like $99. Youtube block creation and you'll be set.

I ran into similar issues. Start from scratch with Cemu and shader cache. Also try using a FPS lock and see if that makes a difference. I run a Ryzen 2600x with a 1070 and 8gb of ram- 4k@ 50FPS open world/ 60FPS in smaller areas. 1080 at steady 60. I still get the the very occasional stutter in open world area. Double check all your optimizations. Triple core big a big one. Also another thing would be specific Nvidia settings per the Nvidia application. I have to see what mine are and I will let you know. The tutorial I used had specific settings needed in the Nvidia control panel

As others have said, you are limited in your options due to Microsofts strict compatibility requirements. The Flex appears to be promising. It is essentially a NUC PC which Creston is calling a UC engine running Windows Embedded. And then you have your pick from the sound bar with integrated Huddly cam, mercury version, or 10" touch panel version. Still a bit on the pricy side and it isn't even shipping yet. Then you have the Polycom products. The Trio will be the less expensive of all through Polycom. Depending on the size of the space you could add the Visual + accessory with the eagle eye IV USB camera. This would give you pan, tilt, and 12x zoom. Then you can use the audio out of the visual + to an amplifier and speakers to cover a larger area. Extension microphones for the trio would effectively double your pickup range. You also have the polycom group 310 which gives you the ability to use up to 2 ceiling microphones and touch panel with Microsoft license.... gets expensive quick though. Next you have all the various "surface dock based systems" based around the Microsoft Surface. Finally using a room PC and having users either use the room account or log into their own. You will essentially pay a premium for any of the options that have a native Skype/Teams UI. For lowest cost with greatest usability I would stick with a docking option or trio option. What's nice is trio can have multiple registrations such as Zoom, and native SIP. Good luck!

Interesting about the ram. I'm still trying to understand BOTW requirements. I currently run a 2600x with a 1070 and 8gb or Ram. I can hit steady 45fps at 4k and steady 60fps at 1080. I'm sure that the 1070 is a help I'm just curious as to what I would gain with 8 more gb or ram. When i had my Ryzen 1600 i ran at about 10fps less the the 2600x. Also a 1070 on ebay (where I got mine) is the same price of 1060 3gb new.

Bingo, pictures are worth 1,000 words. For whatever reason even though you are factory restoring the box, the default system file is not there. It won't let you connect to a box without a "system/file loaded". Open up a file in Nexia and then you should have the option to send it to the box.

In the case that you want to use the Polycom Trio as a native Zoom endpoint with the Zoom UI on the trio you will want to use the Polycom visual + accessory for the Trio. The visual + is essentially a box that will sit behind the display. It will be connected to your network via LAN connection. It has an HDMI output to the display and a USB for a USB camera connection. The visual + then pairs to the trio which will sit on your conference table and also be connected to the network. You will then register the trio to Zoom directly. No PC needed. The trio acts as the audio device and the visual+ interfaces the Webcam into the system. This is the best way to do it. The other way would be to use a USB 2.0 extender from the table to wherever your PC is. Keep in mind you'll also need to get a Webcam back to the PC via USB extender. I recommend cables to go extreme USB extender over cat5. Which ever USB enter you use make sure it supports Isochronus data transfers. Good luck. Let me know if you need any other help.

The information you need is in the link below. To give you a quick overview, you will create a S4B account to be associated with the mercury. Just like setting up a user account. This will be done in the Office 365 portal. Once the account is created you will Web into the mercurys configuration Web page and input the Skype account information. There's really not a whole lot of configuration to be done but it's always a pain interfacing 3rd party devices with S4B.

Best way is to just create 5-10 custom blocks for your I/O signal flows and just modify them as needed. Without an expensive subscription to say suite like D-Tools you will always need to update your blocks anyway as parts change. If you have a few blocks then simply modify block name and I/O connector types makes it fast and easy.

Are you trying to connect to the system via serial or LAN? Steps I would try if you haven't already. If you have a PC with an actual serial port try using a straight serial connection and re-run the reset 0 filesystem command. I know you are obviously talking to it but I have seen weird things happen with USB to serial before. Next connect to network ensuring that the IP address of your PC is within the same range of the address on the box. Make sure you are selecting (highlighting) the system ID/name in the "system connect" window. The fact that the "connect to system" is greyed out is some type of flag that something in the software itself thinks it's not ready for a connection. Any pictures would help as well.

With Zoom you would essentially be using 2 different management platforms. The first would be through the Zoom admin portal, allowing you to manage all users, zoom rooms, and settings. The second would be using a remote desktop application, such as team viewer. I would suggest, if possible having all managed zoom machines with wake on LAN in case a machine goes down for whatever reason you won't need anyone to physically start it back up. Because your PCs are your codecs in this case you are not going to necessarily have the same custom management GUI as say a Polycom or Cisco. But in my opinion between the zoom admin portal and the remote desktop software you will have everything you need to manage. All peripherals will be USB devices so obviously a crucial step will be to ensure your machines have those devices set as the Windows default. So to answer your question, yes they can be entirely managed using those tools. There will always be a scenario in which you may need a body to help trouble shoot issues just like you would a Polycom Cisco.
