QuickMedia Distribution System Crestron QM-MD8x8

Example Program

An example program for the MD8x8 is available from the Crestron FTP site

(ftp://ftp.crestron.com/Examples/). Search for the file named QM_8X8_DEMO.ZIP

that contains the example program, associated files and a README.TXT file that

describes the program.

Programming with VisionTools™ Pro-e

Touchpanel screens should be created in VisionTools Pro-e to allow switching of

source signals to desired outputs as well as selection of the system mode. There are

no special programming requirements to use the functions of the MD8x8 in a room-

control system.

Creating Labels with Crestron Engraver

Use Crestron Engraver software to print custom labels for each input and output

button. Using the templates in Engraver, print labels on 100-pound paper. Paper

weighing less than 100 pounds will be harder to slide in, while paper weighing more

than 100 pounds will not fit.

Uploading and Upgrading

Assuming a PC is properly connected to the entire system, Crestron programming

software allows the programmer to upload programs and projects after their

development to the system and network devices. However, there are times when the

files for the program and projects are compiled and not uploaded. Instead, compiled

files may be distributed from programmers to installers, from Crestron to dealers,

etc. Even firmware upgrades are available from the Crestron website as new features

are developed after product releases. In those instances, one has the option to upload

via the programming software or to upload and upgrade via the Crestron Viewport.

NOTE: The Crestron Viewport is available as a pull-down command from SIMPL

Windows and VT Pro-e (Tools | Viewport) or as a standalone utility. The Viewport

utility accomplishes multiple system tasks, primarily via an RS-232 or TCP/IP

connection between the control system and a PC. It is used to observe system

processes, upload new operating systems and firmware, change system and network

parameters, and communicate with network device consoles and touchpanels, among

many other tasks. Viewport can also function as a terminal emulator for generic file

transfer. All of these functions are accessed through the commands and options in

the Viewport menus. Therefore, for its effectiveness as a support and diagnostic tool,

the Crestron Viewport may be preferred over development tools when uploading

programs and projects.

The following sections define how one would upload a SIMPL Windows program or

upgrade the firmware of the MD8x8. However, before attempting to upload or

upgrade, it is necessary to establish communications.
