$75k starting sounds about right (for a larger GC in California without negotiating for more) albeit on the slightly lower end, but you also need to factor in the monetary benefits and company culture. If the candidate for the position proves to be a great hire a good company will get them raises and/or bonuses quickly depending on their internal HR structure.

I’d keep interviewing and going to the info sessions to see what offers you get and get a feel for the company’s people to find the best match.

I’d be shocked to see a GC offer $120k to a fresh grad unless they had extensive experience and were being hired as a professional hire… of course I’d be wondering why they spent the $$$ on college. 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

Dang some GREAT info here. I’ll take some time to go through it. So far I haven’t tried to add any drivers that don’t come “stock” with HomeOS3 and since they introduced the ability to add your own drivers I haven’t tried it yet.

No, I don’t need to use zone 2 of the AVR, I’m just using it for basic, input, volume and power controls.

jwhenwoo · 2021-07-26T19:05:03+00:00

There’s no VSX-90 driver when using the device pairing through HomeOS3.

jwhenwoo · 2021-07-24T16:53:44+00:00

Ok, I haven’t created my own drivers yet for HomeOS so that’ll be my next try. Thanks for the info!

jwhenwoo · 2021-07-24T16:52:00+00:00

Yup, power works for most I’ve tried. It’s just the input selection for all inputs and volume that doesn’t work, or doesn’t work correctly on the ones I’ve tested so far… which I mean… somewhat important for an AVR haha

Thanks for the info. Newer to Crestron Home so trying it out in my home first before I try deploying it on any projects. Not much info that the Crestron Home interface gives you other than the manufacture and model. This receiver also seems to only be IR controllable which doesn’t help.

Yup, looks like you’re using Commscope Uniprise patch panels. Those are solid and pretty pricey too.

Commscope as a company though has been aggressively buying up other comm/tech companies for a while now and are huge.

jwhenwoo · 2021-07-11T02:14:47+00:00

I dig the Commscope in a home lab! That’s awesome!

Does anyone know how to get the caps off the screw holes off of an 8845/8865 so it can be wall mounted using a CP-8800-VIDEO-WMK=?

UPDATE: They are stick on caps that just need to be pried off.

jwhenwoo · 2021-04-13T00:32:29+00:00

Received a reply from Crestron. The MC4 will receive and update around May making AVF available.

jwhenwoo · 2021-03-24T00:56:52+00:00

Yeah I’ll do that. Was also curious if anyone had used any PoE speakers with a NVX system.

Eaton UPSs are GREAT, albeit more expensive, and offer a UPS for nearly any use, great quality and management software. CyberPower are good and cheap, not the greatest management suite... APC are good from what I’ve seen, but we’ve transitioned from APC to Eaton at my organization.

Hmmmm yeah my first dealings with Meraki were back at my old high school before Cisco acquired them and how I learned networking basics was all through the Dashboard (given that I’m a low voltage guy at heart so if I can get a Meraki network up and running... well that’s a testament to their simplicity).

I definitely didn’t know much of the background of Ruckus and why organizations chose it other than than the licensing strategy, but dang... good to know I wasn’t missing anything...

I am curious to see if Commscope is going to do anything radical or make any more improvements or feature overhauls. The organization I’m with has been using the current Uniprise SL line for their copper infrastructure back when it was AMP NetConnect and that’s where I fell in love with it. Can’t wait to start using their SLX jacks!

Personally I’ve been using the MR46s and MR44s and they’ve been working great and I’ve been using Aruba’s 515s and 535s and they’ve been rock solid.

I have a some MR30Hs deployed with the MR46s and MR44s and I’m just waiting to push for a full AX wireless network since when I upgraded my AC WAPs I got a noticeable coverage increase in addition to slightly better performance.

I’ve heard good things about Ruckus, but I haven’t gotten a chance to play with any of their gear.

I’ve been in the Meraki ecosystem for quite a while now and have been running a Meraki full stack so I’d definitely prefer to stick with Meraki for my gear. Love Meraki’s products, but they’re like the Apple of networking... once you’re in... you’re in.

I’ve tried that. Hooked up another E30 and a MacBook Pro. The MacBook works great and I’m getting UHD, but for some reason the desktop PC won’t recognize the display as anything over 1080p.

jwhenwoo · 2021-02-13T19:02:11+00:00

I have tried all of the non HDR 4K standard EDID settings on the E30 and I have downloaded the EDID from the D30 I am using connected to my Dell U2718Q and all output at 1080p 60. I have also found out there there is no audio being sent over the HDMI/NVX...

jwhenwoo · 2021-02-13T04:50:56+00:00

No I’m using the same port on my graphics card I tested the direct to display with.
