Prov1 Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 So I have been tasked with getting a NEC projector set up with a Crestron wall interface. I have read pretty much all that I have found and not found an easy step by step guide. All that I really want to do is use SIMPL to program the buttons (just to power on and off to start) to get things up and running, then when time allows, spend more time on the ins and outs of it. There has to be something small that I am missing, I can get the program uploaded, see the interaction from the buttons, but it's like the button press is not talking to the projector. Just wondering if someone might be kind enough to lend a little assistance. Much appreciated.
SamanthaD Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Hi there, I'm not familiar with Crestron other than I know to get qualified as a Crestron programmer takes a long time, and a lot of money. This is why Crestron programmers can charge stupid day rates to do exactly what you're trying to do. Is the Crestron interface a deal-breaker? There's other options out there that will do the same job where the training and software is a lot cheaper / free....
Prov1 Posted March 5, 2019 Author Posted March 5, 2019 Unfortunately, in our well thought out process, the wall plate and projector have already been purchased and installed. We can have the vendor come in and program it for us, but it's quite pricey. So I have been tasked with getting it figured out. Unfortunately there is not a lot of documentation out there that I am able to find.
SamanthaD Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 Crestron programming is pure code. Even here where we do our own programming in-house for Extron, AMX, ProCon etc we still leave the Crestron systems alone. I'm not sure you're going to be successful in finding anything out either - Crestron are quite protective over this sort of stuff, hence why their training regime is a lot harder than other manufacturers and those who go through it are naturally not going to give much away! I see 2 options for you - bite the bullet and pay for the programming or bite a different bullet and pay for a new panel you can program.
