Device Considerations when using New Features
When working with several of the new features available within DXP-PRO version 1.1, it is
necessary to note some special device considerations:
When developing a Video Conference Source Type (within the Device Configuration -
Device Data tab), you can now select whether the camera being used is either a vendor's
integrated camera or a third-party camera.
But note:
You will not be able to select a third-party camera unless you have previously
defined a camera device in your system (see
How To: Setup External Cameras
).
Once you have defined a camera within your system, it then becomes visible/
selectable from the Camera Control section drop-down lists.
At this time, Polycom does not support third-party cameras. You can select a third-party
camera, but be aware that the
far end will have no control over this camera
. Control of
this third-party will only be local if a Polycom unit is selected.
If you define a Sony EVI-D series camera and a Polycom conferencer, you do not
need to select it as a third-party camera. This is because the Polycom unit controls
the Sony EVI-D series of cameras as though they were a native device through a
setting within the menu system of the Polycom unit.
If the i!-Weather application is installed on a Master without a weather account, only
AMX-related locations are viewable within the i!-Weather page on the touch panel. To
gain access to any zip code's weather information, you must purchase a subscription from
AMX.
To obtain this subscription, you all need the serial number of your target Master.
This appears on the i!-Weather setup page on the panel (once the project is loaded).
Another method of obtaining the Master's serial number is by going into a Terminal
session and typing 'show device'.
You can define your own time server by opening the
Main.axs
file, scrolling to the
i!-TimeManager section, and filling in the time server variable with the target IP Address.
By default, the time information from the atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado is used.
When using G4 Computer Control, it is important to understand that the DXP-PRO
application does not setup the stick applications for you. It is necessary to configure the
corresponding
configCC
and
amxCC
application information fields (regarding the
Master and touch panels) prior to compiling the DXP-PRO project.
Any Master code
alterations and configCC field entries must be done prior to launching the amxCC
executable.
To utilize the RMS (Resource Manager Suite) within the
Integrated Application
dialog
page, you
MUST first
have the latest RMS SDK (software Development Kit) installed
on the machine running the DXP-PRO application. If the RMS SDK is not installed prior
to running the DXP-PRO application, these fields will be greyed-out and you will not be
able to enter any information.
