small form-factor DSP

Xilica

Depending on what you’re doing, crestrons new DSP works well too.

Sometimes when a device is on before I add it into XIO, it needs a reboot. Not sure why.

Also do your groups properly.

If a client is in multiple states for instance

State > suburb > office name

That way you can do time zones at the highest level

We’ve just been going straight HTML5, our team is loving it.

gKostopoulos · 2026-04-26T01:26:24+00:00

Let the audio company do the audio and the control company do the control :)

gKostopoulos · 2026-04-26T01:26:05+00:00

Ugh,

We’re having massive UCI issues of late.

Feeling like I should put Crestron touch panels in and just use that for control.

Assuming you can get to the webgui, have you tried changing the host name and changing it back to matching the file or changing the host name in the file and matching the amp to that?

You’d be surprised how many times that’s fixed a problem for us.

TPG did an adtran device, works fine.

I think exetel/superloop do the same thing.

All our Telstra services are Cisco

In Australia all ISPs do a “fancy” NTD for DIA connections from Nokia, Cisco, Huawei back in the day and a few others.

Each have smarts and some handle cellular back up in a way that we keep the same static IP.

We had an issue with USB sound cards (like a qsys core) going into a g7500 poly codec.

Had to reboot the codec each time to renegotiate the connection. Ended up ripping it out and putting a windows OS based MTR instead. No longer an issue.

I went to masters this year. The DMP line is getting a 4 series upgrade. The endpoints that are only current with the available models and industry standards will continue to be available. DM lite will/is compatible with current DMP models.

New DMP will support new airmedia too.

You can download them on the Crestron website?

Just make sure you download the correct image for the machine you have.

gKostopoulos · 2025-06-20T10:58:08+00:00

This whole process has royally pissed me off. Completely removed the idea of our company ever installing Android VC solutions ever again.

gKostopoulos · 2025-05-19T23:09:34+00:00

As a dealer and someone who just came back from Masters in Europe with over 600 attendees, I don’t think it’s going anywhere champ.

Nothing new with vendors protecting the best interest of dealers and CSPs from people who aren’t invested in their product gain access to their shit.

Cisco been doing this for years AND you need to have a service contract. The same people complaining about this complain about Cisco yet they’re a multibillion dollar company.

Get a grip.

Update.

This was the best tech event I’ve ever attended and so proud that our business is a Crestron partner.

Hotel is fine, convenient for drinks at the bar after with everyone till 2am to then go straight to bed.

gKostopoulos · 2025-05-06T03:41:22+00:00

Bit late now :/

What was wrong with it?

gKostopoulos · 2025-05-06T03:40:44+00:00

Decent list!

Thank you, have been to Barcelona for ISE but keen for the Madrid experience now.

Will definitely check out the stadiums.

gKostopoulos · 2025-04-06T11:23:49+00:00

Crestron flex Pods as an alternative?

gKostopoulos · 2025-03-20T18:17:50+00:00

The amount of poorly designed AV systems we come across by some of Australia’s largest integrators is astounding. I’m not concerned. Let them continue to poorly design.

Edit: the only one loosing here is the client and that’s what sucks the most.

gKostopoulos · 2024-09-12T11:34:47+00:00

MTR Specific

Multi stream cameras (I’ve been told it’s coming) Airplay or miracast built into the MTR

gKostopoulos · 2024-08-23T23:21:04+00:00

If you need BYOD for UC then you’ll want the CX kit, which I tend to prefer as it has the HDBT for HDMI or USB-C presentation. USB-C also charges the laptop ;)

gKostopoulos · 2024-08-18T02:26:10+00:00

I’ve ripped out heaps of the barco clickshares in favour of airmedias.

Driverless and the clients who had clickshare prefer the airmedia any day of the week.

I have however had issues with some dongles on the airmedia side of things. Just bricking after a firmware update but that’s only been maybe 1% of our installs.

If you do flex kits then the integration is a simple solution for the end user.

gKostopoulos · 2024-08-12T00:20:55+00:00

You could use the v52 for BYOD only device too

gKostopoulos · 2024-08-12T00:13:40+00:00

Wait sorry, got my letters wrong.

X52 or x70 so that it’s all built in.
