Action when video is selected but not audio

[Marcus_R]

All,

my client would like to have the screen come down when he is watching something. I used the "power state change" event but then the screen also comes down when he is only listening.

Anybody an idea how I can only catch the "watch" event in programming?

Thanks,

-Marcus

Room control driver is the easiest way to do it

Or when projector turns on, drop screen.

projector turns off, raise screen

This is how I had it first, but projector status is coming in really late. Client wanted to screen to come down earlier. I hope the "room controller" will work now.

these also can be unreliable variables depending on how well the driver is programmed.

with out the room control driver another good way would be on. 

 

when video source in room changes

   if room power is on

    drop screen

if room power is off

   raise screen.

 

also many projectors and screens have +12v triggers so this would be another reliable option.

This is actually fairly normal for serial or network drivers, as the projector doesn't report on or off untill it's fully powered up or down.

Room control driver will work well for this, or old fashioned, just program on room on/off with the available variables (as per above,post)

 

While the room control driver is great, my pet peeve is that this has always been available reliably to end-users and dealers alike, and room driver requires dealer intervention (adding a driver)
