Introduction
The intent of this Symbol Guide is to assist SIMPL™ Windows® users become
familiar with the functional details of the device and logic symbols used in SIMPL
programs.
The information in this guide was previously contained in the latest revision of the
SIMPL™ Windows® Installation & Operations Guide (Doc. 5728). As Crestron
engineers continually develop and improve the SIMPL Windows program, more
and more symbols are added. The number of symbols is now such that they require
this separate volume to simplify the process of locating desired information and
keeping the guide current.
As new symbols are added to the SIMPL program, they will be included in the
program’s Help file. Subsequently, they will be included in periodic updates of this
guide.
NOTE: Many of the topics in this guide include one or more “See also” references
to other topics that provide more detail on the subject being discussed. The
references are hot-linked to the topics either through the topic name or through a
page number location. Simply click on the link to jump directly to the topic.

CNAMPX-2x60
CNAMPX Models
The CNAMPX-2x60 is a 2-channel, 60 watts per channel audio amplifier, typically
used with the CNX-BIPAD8 and Crestron's room solution boxes for audio
distribution via CAT5.
The CNAMPX-12x60 is a 12-channel, 60 watts per channel amplifier, typically
used with the CNX-PAD8A in audio distribution systems.
The CNAMPX-7x200 is a 7-channel digital surround sound amplifier delivering
200 watts per channel into 8 ohms, or 300 watts per channel into 4 ohms.
®
The CNAMPX-7x40S120 is an 8-channel digital surround sound amplifier with 7
channels at 40 watts per channel, plus one subwoofer channel at 120 watts.
Signals
• Digital inputs: <Main_Power>, <Enable_Temp_Rpt>, <Temp_Format>
• Digital output: <OverRide_F>
• Analog output: <Temp(x10)>0
Description
The <Main_Power> input activates the main operating power to the CNAMPX
circuitry for as long as <Main_Power> remains high. When the signal goes low,
main power shuts off.
The <OverRide_F> output goes high whenever the override button on the back of
the CNAMPX unit is pressed. This button manually turns on the unit's main power
as well as all channels.
The <Temp(x10)> output reports the temperature inside the CNAMPX enclosure
and updates that value every two seconds whenever the <Enable_Temp_Rpt> input
is high. The temperature is displayed in the format specified by the
<Temp_Format> input. If this signal is high, the temperature will be displayed in
degrees Celsius; if low, degrees Fahrenheit.

• Digital output: <OverRide_F>
The <Main_Power> input activates the main operating power to the CNAMPX
circuitry when high. When the signal goes low, main power shuts off. After startup,
the <Rm_En> signals activate the audio outputs of the corresponding room for as

long as the input remains high. When the input goes low, the room amplifier is
deactivated.
The <OverRide_F> output goes high whenever the override button on the back of
the CNAMPX unit is pressed. This button manually turns on the unit's main power
as well as all channels.
• Digital input: <Enable_Temp_Rpt>, <Temp_Format>
• Analog output: <Temp(x10)>
The <Temp(x10)> output assumes the value of the temperature inside the
CNAMPX enclosure and updates that value every two seconds whenever the
<Enable_Temp_Rpt> input is high. The temperature is displayed in the format
specified by the <Temp_Format> input. If this signal is high, the temperature will
be displayed in degrees Celsius; if low, degrees Fahrenheit.
• Analog input: <Rm_To_Monitor>
• Analog outputs: <LeftSigLevel> and <RghtSigLevel>
The <Rm_To_Monitor> input works with the <SigLevel> outputs to sample and
display audio levels for a given room. For example, to display the audio levels for
room seven, <Rm_To_Monitor> must be initialized to seven. The <SigLevel>
outputs will then periodically sample the room's audio levels.
NOTE: The <Rm_To_Monitor> and <SigLevel> signals are intended for
diagnostic purposes only, since <SigLevel> is updated intermittently and thus is not
suitable for continual "real-time" display of audio levels. The default value for
<Rm_To_Monitor> is zero, which means no room is monitored.
• Digital outputs: <Rm1_Amp_Fault> through <Rm8_Amp_Fault> and
<Rm1_Wire_Fault> through <Rm8_Wire_Fault>
The <Amp_Fault> outputs go high whenever there is an over-current or over
temperature fault in the corresponding amplifier. The <Wire_Fault> outputs go high
whenever there is a fault in the wires (or cables) of an amplifier.
When a fault occurs, all audio to the amplifier is cut and the CNAMPX unit will
attempt to reset after a short period. Of course, if the reset fails the problem must be
resolved manually before audio can be restored.
Description
The CNAMPX-16x60 is a 16-channel, 60 watts per channel audio amplifier,
typically used with the CNX-PAD8A in audio distribution systems.

Signals
• Analog inputs: <src for rm1> through <src for rm8>
• Digital inputs: <mute1> through <mute8> and <room-1-on> through
<room-8-on>
The <src for rm> analogs select the audio source for the specified room. For
example, to distribute audio from input 3 to room 2, <src for rm2> must be set to 3
(typically via an Analog Initialize symbol). If <src for rm> equals 0, then no audio
will be sent.
The following table gives the valid range of values for the <src for rm> analogs:

Windows® • 3
Software Crestron SIMPL™ Windows
Input Valid <src for rm> values
RCA 0 - 16
CAT5 0, 17 - 24
A room will continue to receive audio for as long as the corresponding <room-on>
input is high. The <mute> inputs cut sound to a room for as long as <mute>
remains high.
• Digital inputs: <loudness1> through <loudness8>, <mono-mode-1>
through <mono-mode-8>
• Analog inputs: <volume1> through <volume8>, <min vol1> through
<min vol8>, <max vol1> through <max vol8>
The <loudness> input activates the loudness function that is commonly available
on stereo amplifiers. Similarly, <volume> controls the audio level for each room.
Asserting a <mono-mode> input will change the room's audio setting from stereo
to mono.
The <min vol> and <max vol> inputs represent scaling factors. That is, if <min
vol> equals 20% and the corresponding <max vol> equals 80%, then the distributed
output will be scaled accordingly.
®
• Analog inputs: <balance1> through <balance8>, <bass1> through
<bass8>, <treble1> through <treble8>, and <comp-src1> through
<comp-src24>
The <balance>, <bass> and <treble> inputs specify levels for these settings
relative to the 50% mark. That is, a <balance> input with a value of 50% indicates
that audio is distributed evenly between the left and right speakers. Likewise, 50%
indicates a neutral level for <treble> and <bass>.
The <comp-src> inputs are also measured relative to 50%. These signals represent
source gain compensations that allow for normalization of audio levels for different
sources. For example, the volume range of a VCR can be made equal to that of a
CD player.
NOTE: The <balance>, <bass>, <treble> and <comp-src> signals each have a
default value of 0%, which will lead to undesirable results if these signals are
undefined. Thus it is necessary to use an Analog Initialize symbol to set these
values to 50% in applications where these settings will not be controlled via SIMPL
logic.
Description
The CNX-BIPAD8 is an audio switcher that selects audio sources, and then
distributes the audio to up to eight room amplifiers.
The CNX-BIPAD8 provides 16 RCA left/right input pairs (numbered 1-16) and 8
RCA outputs. In addition, the CNX-BIPAD8 provides 8 bi-directional RJ45 ports
that enable CAT5 cabling to Crestron's CNX-RMCLV room solution boxes. The
CAT5 connections are numbered 17-24.

Description
The CNX-PAD8A is an audio switcher that selects audio sources, and then
distributes the audio to up to eight room amplifiers. It provides 8 sets of 4 RCA
inputs (numbered 1-8), and 8 RCA outputs. (The PAD8A is an upgrade to the
PAD8; both units have the same symbol detail.)
STI-TUNE
Signals
• Digital inputs: <Up>, <Dn>, <Func>, <AM>, <FM>, <WX> and <TV>
• Digital outputs: <Up-B>, <Dn-B>, <Func-B>, <AM-F>, <FM-F>, <WX-
F> and <TV-F>
The <Up> and <Dn> inputs advance or reverse the radio or TV station setting with
each rising edge of the signal. If either of the <Up> or <Dn> inputs remains high

for a period of time (as the result of a prolonged button press) the station settings
will continue automatically changing for as long as the signal remains high.
The <AM>, <FM>, <WX> (weather) and <TV> inputs set the ST-TUNE unit to
the corresponding band on the rising edge of the signal. Alternatively, the <Func>
input will cause the ST-TUNE to cycle through the AM, FM, WX, and TV bands
(in that order) with each rising edge of <Func>.
The interlocked <B> (button) and <F> outputs provide the corresponding feedback
for each band.
• Digital inputs: <Mode>, <Pre>, <Tune>, <Srch>, <Sense-High> and
<Sense-Low>
• Digital outputs: <Mode-B>, <Pre-F>, <Tune-F>, <Srch-F>
The <Pre> (preset), <Tune> and <Srch> inputs set the ST-TUNE unit to the
corresponding mode on the rising edge of the signal. The <Pre> mode allows preset
radio or TV stations to be selected on the rising edge of <Up> or <Dn>. In <Tune>
mode, <Up> and <Dn> will increment or decrement settings by one unit.
In <Srch> mode, the setting jumps to the next available station on the rising edge of
<Up> or <Dn>. To improve the search function, the <Sense-High> and <Sense-
Low> inputs set the sensitivity of the ST-TUNE unit. <Sense-High> enables the
ST-TUNE to pick up weaker stations.
®
The <Mode> input will cause the ST-TUNE to cycle through the preset, tune, and
search modes (in that order) with each rising edge of the signal.
The interlocked <F> signals provide the corresponding feedback for each mode.
• Digital inputs: <Mono>, <Mono-On> and <Mono-Off>
• Digital outputs: <Mono-B>, <Mono-On-F>, <Mono-Off-F> and
<Stereo-Detect>
The <Mono-On> and <Mono-Off> signals set the ST-TUNE to FM stereo or mono
on the rising edge of the signal. Alternatively, the <Mono> input toggles between
FM stereo and mono with each rising edge of the signal. The <Stereo-Detect>
signal is high whenever the current FM station is being received in stereo.
The interlocking <B> and <F> signals provide the corresponding feedback for each
mode.
• Digital input: <Disable-Lcl-Btns>
When this input is high, the local functionality of the front panel buttons is disabled.
• Analog inputs: <AM-Station>, <FM-Station>, <WX-Station> and <TVStation>
• Analog outputs: <AM-Station-F>, <FM-Station-F>, <WX-Station-F>,
<TV-Station-F> and <Sig-Strength>
The <AM-Station> input sets the AM frequency of the ST-TUNE. Valid AM
values increment by ten only and range from 530d through 1710d.
6 • Crestron SIMPL
The <FM-Station> input sets the FM frequency of the ST-TUNE. Valid FM values
increment by five only and range from 8950d through 10790d, with an implied
decimal point two digits from the end. Thus, to specify FM station 102.7, <FM-
Station> must be set to 10270d.
The <WX> input sets the weather station frequency of the ST-TUNE. Valid
weather radio values increment by one only and range from 16240d through
™
Windows® Symbol Guide – DOC. 6120
Crestron SIMPL™ Windows® Software
16255d, with an implied decimal point two digits from the end. Thus, to specify
weather station 162.43, <WX> must be set to 16243d.
The <TV-Station> input sets the TV channel of the ST-TUNE. Valid values for TV
channels differ depending on the mode of the ST-TUNE. Channel numbers
increment by one.
The interlocked <F> outputs correspond to the current frequency of each band.
The <Sig-Strength> output is a stepped signal that indicates the strength of the FM
station frequency. The steps are decimal 0, 8191, 16382, 24573, 32764, 40955,
49146, 57337 or hexadecimal 0, 1FFF, 3FFE, 5FFD, 7FFC, 9FFB, BFFA,
DFF9. This signal applies only to FM frequencies.
NOTE: The <Srch> function described earlier works best when <Sig-Strength>

Description
The STI-TUNE is the international version of Crestron's AM/FM/weather radio and
television tuner.
ST-TUNE (USA)
Signals
• Digital inputs: <Up>, <Dn>, <Func>, <AM>, <FM>, <WX> and <TV>
• Digital outputs: <Up-B>, <Dn-B>, <Func-B>, <AM-F>, <FM-F>, <WX-
F> and <TV-F>
™
Windows® Symbol Guide – DOC. 6120
Crestron SIMPL™ Windows® Software
The <AM>, <FM>, <WX> (weather) and <TV> inputs set the ST-TUNE to the
corresponding band on the rising edge of the signal. Alternatively, the <Func>
input will cause the ST-TUNE to cycle through the AM, FM, WX, and TV bands
(in that order) with each rising edge of <Func>.
The <Up> and <Dn> inputs advance or reverse the radio or TV channel with each
rising edge of the signal. If either of the <Up> or <Dn> inputs remains high for a
period of time (as the result of a prolonged button press) the channel will continue
to change automatically for as long as the signal remains high.
The interlocked <B> (button) and <F> outputs provide the corresponding feedback
for each band.
• Digital inputs: <Mode>, <Pre>, <Tune>, <Srch>, <Sense-High> and
<Sense-Low>
• Digital outputs: <Mode-B>, <Pre-F>, <Tune-F>, <Srch-F>
The <Pre> (preset), <Tune> and <Srch> inputs set the ST-TUNE unit to the
corresponding mode on the rising edge of the signal. The <Pre> mode allows preset
radio or TV stations to be selected on the rising edge of <Up> or <Dn>. In <Tune>
mode, <Up> and <Dn> will increment or decrement settings by one unit.
In <Srch> mode, the setting jumps to the next available station on the rising edge of
<Up> or <Dn>. To improve the search function, the <Sense-High> and <Sense-
Low> inputs set the sensitivity of the ST-TUNE. <Sense-High> enables the STTUNE to pick up weaker stations.
The <Mode> input will cause the ST-TUNE to cycle through the preset, tune, and
search modes (in that order) with each rising edge of the signal.
The interlocked <F> signals provide the corresponding feedback for each mode.
• Digital inputs: <Mono>, <Mono-On> and <Mono-Off>
• Digital outputs: <Mono-B>, <Mono-On-F>, <Mono-Off-F> and <Stereo-
Detect>
The <Mono-Off> and <Mono-On> signals set the ST-TUNE to FM stereo or mono
on the rising edge of the signal. Alternatively, the <Mono> input toggles between
FM stereo and mono with each rising edge of the signal. The <Stereo-Detect>
signal is high whenever the current FM station is being received in stereo.
The interlocking <B> and <F> signals provide the corresponding feedback for each
mode.
• Digital inputs: <SAP-On> and <SAP-Off>
• Digital outputs: <SAP-On-F> and <SAP-Off-F>
The <SAP> inputs turn television SAP (Second Audio Program for foreign
language) reception on or off on the rising edge of the signal, with the interlocked
<F> signals providing the corresponding feedback.
• Digital input: <Disable-Lcl-Btns>
When this input is high, the local functionality of the front panel buttons is disabled.
• Digital inputs: <Off-Air>, <STD>, <IRC> and <HRC>
These are four modes for United States TV reception. In each mode, the channels
map to different frequencies. The mode changes on the rising edge of the next
frequency change.
• Analog inputs: <AM-Station>, <FM-Station>, <WX-Station> and <TVStation>

• Analog outputs: <AM-Station-F>, <FM-Station-F>, <WX-Station-F>,
<TV-Station-F> and <Sig-Strength>
The <AM-Station> input sets the AM frequency of the ST-TUNE. Valid AM
values increment by ten only and range from 530d through 1710d.
The <FM-Station> input sets the FM frequency of the ST-TUNE. Valid FM values
increment by five only and range from 8950d through 10790d, with an implied
decimal point two digits from the end. Thus, to specify FM station 102.7, <FM-
Station> must be set to 10270d.
The <WX> input sets the weather station frequency of the ST-TUNE. Valid
weather radio values increment by one only and range from 16240d through
16255d, with an implied decimal point two digits from the end. Thus, to specify
weather station 162.43, <WX> must be set to 16243d.
The <TV-Station> input sets the TV channel of the ST-TUNE. Valid values for TV
channels differ depending on the mode of the ST-TUNE. Channel numbers
increment by one.
The interlocked <F> outputs correspond to the current frequency of each band.
The <Sig-Strength> output is a stepped signal that indicates the strength of the FM
station frequency. The steps are decimal 0, 8191, 16382, 24573, 32764, 40955,
49146, 57337 or hexadecimal 0, 1FFF, 3FFE, 5FFD, 7FFC, 9FFB, BFFA,
DFF9. This signal applies only to FM frequencies.
®
NOTE: The <Srch> function described earlier works best when <Sig-Strength>
reads 24573d (5FFD hex) or above for low sensitivity (<Sense-Low>), or 40955
(9FFB hex) or above for high sensitivity (<Sense-High>).
Description
The ST-TUNE is an AM/FM/weather radio and television tuner.
ST-VC
Signals
• Four digital inputs: <mutea> through <mutec>, and <muteall>
• Nine analog inputs: <volA> through <volC>, <trebA> through <trebC>,
and <bassA> through <bassC>
Description
The ST-VC is a three-channel audio attenuator with settings for volume, tone
(bass/treble) and muting. Each channel (A through C) can have discrete ramp times,
scaling factors, preset levels, and so forth. Alternatively, multiple channels can have
the same settings to support stereo applications.
Each channel also has a corresponding muting relay with 104 dB attenuation. That
is, when any of the <muteA> through <muteC> inputs goes high, the muting circuit
provides a 104 dB drop from the current volume level. When a <mute> input goes
low, the volume setting returns to its previous level.
10 • Crestron SIMPL
The <muteall> input mutes all channels for as long as <muteall> remains high.
When <muteall> goes low, all channels return to their previous settings.

Cresnet Camera Controllers
CNXFZ
Speed Key Name: cami2
Signals
• Serial input: <tx$>
• Digital inputs: <RTS>, <Iris>, <BREAK> and <Mode Set>
• Analog inputs: <foc_set>, <zoom_set>, <foc_rate>, <zoom_rate>,
<iris_rate> and <iris_set>
• Serial output: <rx$>
• Analog outputs: <foc_pos> and <zoom_pos>
Description
The CNXFZ controls the focus, zoom and iris (aperture) settings of a video camera
lens, in either position or rate mode. In position mode, the <set> inputs specify the
exact focus, zoom and iris settings. Whenever a <set> input changes value, the
camera will adjust to the new setting at maximum speed.
In rate mode, the <rate> inputs adjust these parameters at speeds relative to the
50% mark. That is, whenever a <rate> input equals 50% the corresponding setting
will hold steady and the camera lens will remain fixed. If a <rate> input goes above
or below 50%, the lens will adjust at a proportional speed until <rate> once again
equals 50% (or the lens has reached its limit). This means that in most applications
<rate> values of 25% and 75% represent half-speed, while values of 0% and 100%
represent the maximum speed of the lens.
NOTE: The position and rate modes can override each other; the "controlling"
mode is determined by whichever <set> or <rate> input last changes.
The <pos> outputs represent the current values for each setting (regardless of
whether the lens is in position or rate mode). These values can be stored and used to
define analog presets.
The <Iris> input opens or closes iris control contacts. This signal is similar to a
relay contact, and on most lenses can be used to toggle between automatic
(programmed) and manual control of the iris.
The <Mode Set> input is used only with Canon KTS or Fujinon MD, BMD series
lenses, which have an input that allows switching between rate and position modes.
Serial Data
Some cameras have serial COM ports that enable serial communication. For these
applications, <tx$> and <rx$> transmit data to and from the camera in whatever
protocol is specified for the camera in Configuration Manager. (This protocol will
be described in the manufacturer's documentation.)
The <RTS> (request to send) input is a hardware handshaking signal, and is
enabled only if the Hardware Handshake setting in Configuration Manager is set
to None. The <BREAK> signal is required by some devices, and interrupts serial
transmission by driving the transmit pin of the associated COM port low.

Description
The CPC-2000A is a joystick-camera controller that consists of a touch screen with
dual joysticks and adjustable speed knobs. The outputs of the symbol must be
routed through an Analog Scaling Buffer about 50% symbol to drive the inputs of a
CPC-CAMI.
The <joy> outputs specify the pan (horizontal) and tilt (vertical) position of the
camera, as well as the focus and zoom settings. The <spd> outputs specify the
speed of the camera movement.

• Serial output: <rx$>
• Analog outputs: <tilt_pos>, <pan_pos>, <foc_pos> and <zoom_pos>
Description
The CPC-CAMI enables control of a video camera, in either position or rate mode.
In position mode, the <set> inputs specify the exact pan (horizontal) and tilt
(vertical) position of the camera, as well as the exact focus, zoom and iris (aperture)
settings. Whenever a <set> input changes value, the camera will adjust to the new
setting at maximum speed.
In rate mode, the <rate> inputs adjust these parameters at speeds relative to the 50%
mark. That is, whenever a <rate> input equals 50% the corresponding setting will
hold steady and the camera (or lens) will not move. If a <rate> input goes above or
below 50%, the camera will move at a proportional speed until <rate> once again
equals 50% (or the camera has reached its limit). This means that in most
applications <rate> values of 25% and 75% represent half-speed, while values of
0% and 100% represent the camera's maximum speed.
The <speed_limit> input permits the scaling of the pan/tilt speed. Speed limit does
not affect lens action.

CNMK
Signals
• Two serial inputs: <data> and <keyout>
Description
The CNMK is a mouse/keyboard wedge, so called because it "wedges" between the
mouse or keyboard and the computer console. In this way, it allows the control
system to send commands to the PC, which the PC accepts as if it were coming
from the mouse or keyboard. The CNMK is typically used to facilitate boardroom
or classroom presentations. Both the <data> and <keyout> serial inputs are issued
from the control system to the PC.
The <data> input controls mouse functions and is usually driven by the CNWM
(wireless mouse) remote controller. This controller has customizable buttons for
right and left clicks, as well as a pressure sensitive thumb pad that is used to
position the cursor.
The <keyout> input controls the keyboard. Here the buttons on the CNWM can be
programmed to trigger keyboard functions.
The PC interface is designed to allow maximum flexibility in defining certain
keyboard operations. This is accomplished by having the keyboard return scan
codes rather than ASCII codes. Each key generates a "make" scan code when
pressed and a "break" scan code when released. The computer system then
interprets the scan codes to determine what operation to perform.
®
As shown below, each key on the keyboard is assigned a "Find" number that
corresponds to the Make and Break scan codes.
The following table lists the scan codes that apply to each key. For example, the "S"
key corresponds to the number 32. Thus, the Make scan code for this key is \x1B
and the Break scan code is \xF0\x1B.

CNTV
Signals
• One serial input: <TX$>
• One serial output: <RX$>
Description
®
The CNTV is used in SchoolNet or stand-alone applications to control TVs and
other devices. The serial protocol that the CNTV requires differs depending on the
application. This protocol must be custom-programmed into the firmware by
Crestron.
ST-COM
The ST-COM provides two serial COM ports (A and B) that enable RS-232, RS424, and RS-485 communication.
Each port has a built-in serial driver with communication settings that must be
specified in Configuration Manager. These settings define the protocol that a
controlled serial device expects, and include the speed of data transmission (baud
rate), error checking (parity), and the number of data bits and stop bits. In addition,
a device might require hardware or software handshaking, which controls the flow
of data between two devices. The exact protocol will be described in the
manufacturer's documentation.
The Crestron database includes numerous serial devices, with default logic and preconfigured communication settings, that are compatible with the ports on the ST-
COM. These devices are identified in Configuration Manager by a

The CNX-PVID8x3 is a video matrix switcher that selects video sources and
distributes the video to up to 8 outputs. It provides 3 levels, or tiers, of 16 RCA
inputs and 3 levels of 8 RCA outputs. It also provides 8 RJ45 connectors that enable
CAT5 cabling to Crestron's CNXRMC and CNXRMCLV room solution boxes.
The <Src-For-Out-M-Level-N> analogs select the video source for an output as
follows: the signal is set (typically via an Analog Initialize symbol) to a value that
corresponds to the video source. This value can range from 1-32, depending on the
hardware configuration. If a signal is set to 0, no video is sent. <Out-M> specifies
the output (1-8), while <Level-N> gives the level (1-3).

Example 4 (J13 Configuration): A composite video source with digital audio is
connected to input 27. To distribute video and digital audio to output 3, the
following analogs must be set to the corresponding values:
<Src-For-Out-3-Level-1> = 27
<Src-For-Out-2-Level-4> = 11
The CNX-PVID provides 16 built-in video sensors that can be used for
synchronization or diagnostics. The <Sense-In> outputs will go high whenever the
presence of a video signal is detected at the corresponding input and level.

CNX-RMC
The CNX-RMC room solution box is typically used in video distribution
applications with the CNX-PVID8. The CNX-RMC receives video and digital
audio via CAT5 cabling and then distributes these inputs to local outputs. It also
provides a current sensor, 4 infrared (IR) ports and 1 RS-232 port for controlling
local devices.
The CNX-RMC symbol detail requires no programming.
To program a control card or device driver, expand the CNX-RMC by clicking the
plus sign in Program Manager, then drag the device to Detail View.
CNX-RMCLV
The CNX-RMCLV room solution box contains an 8x8 video matrix switcher, and is
typically used with the CNX-PVID8 in video distribution applications.
The CNX-RMCLV receives video and digital audio from the CNX-PVID8 via
CAT5 cabling. It can also receive analog audio via CAT5 from a CNX-BIPAD8.
And it can receive video/digital audio and analog audio from local sources via
standard RCA connections. The built-in Audio/Video Matrix Control module
distributes these inputs to local outputs.
®
The CNX-RMCLV also provides 4 current sensors, 4 infrared (IR) ports and 1 RS232 port for controlling local devices. Finally, it provides outputs for directing
video and digital audio back to the head end.
The CNX-RMCLV symbol detail requires no programming.
To program a control card or device driver, expand the CNX-RMCLV by clicking
the plus sign in Program Manager, then drag the device to Detail View.
CNXVGA
Description
The CNXVGA enables the display of RGB video on Crestron VT-3500(L)
touchpanels.
The CNXVGA accepts RGB video in most standard formats (VGA, SVGA, MAC,
etc.) and outputs either composite or S video.
Signals
• Digital inputs: <RGB>, <Video> and <out_disable>
• Digital outputs: <RGB_on>, <Video_on>
The <RGB> and <Video> inputs select the video format of the source, on the rising
edge of the signal, with the <on> outputs providing the corresponding feedback.
The <out_disable> signal cuts off the video output for as long as the signal is high.
• Digital inputs: <in_adj> and <out_adj>
22 • Crestron SIMPL
• Digital inputs: <up>, <down>, <left>, <right>, <width+>, <width->,
<height+>, <height-> and <save_settings>
• Digital inputs: <in_recenter> and <out_recenter>
The <in_adj> input enables the user to position and size the RGB image on the
touch screen. The <out_adj> input is used to define the viewing area for
applications where the target device is not a VT-3500(L) touchpanel. When either
of these inputs is high, the positional inputs (<up>, <down>, <left>, <right>,
™
Windows® Symbol Guide – DOC. 6120
Crestron SIMPL™ Windows® Software
<width> and <height>) will adjust the display in single steps with each rising edge
of the input.
Once the desired dimensions are obtained, a rising edge of the <save_settings>
input will store the parameters into a preset memory location. (This location is
specified by the <preset#> output, discussed later.)
During adjustment of the dimensions, the <in_recenter> input re-synchronizes the
CNXVGA with the input signal, should the image move out of the viewing area.
The input triggers a "best guess" adjustment based on the detected incoming signal.
The <out_recenter> input simply restores the <out_adj> factory settings for the
VT-3500.
• Digital input: <autodetect_off>
By default, the CNXVGA is set to auto detect all incoming signals. In the case of a
stand-alone application this is needed to sense the incoming signal and adjust to its
parameters on the fly. If an application requires discrete preset selections, the
<autodetect_off> input should be set to 1.
• Digital inputs: <preset_1> through <preset_25>, and <clear_preset>
• Digital output: <preset_empty>
To use discrete preset selections, the <autodetect_off> input must be low. The
<clear_preset> input can be used to erase all of the settings in the selected preset
memory. The <preset_empty> output goes high whenever the presets have been
cleared.
• Analog outputs: <preset#>, <vfreq> and <hfreq>
The <preset#> output gives the value of the currently selected preset memory
location, while the <freq> outputs report the values of the current horizontal and
vertical input frequencies.
Cresnet Remote Processing
CN-TVAV
The CN-TVAV controls devices such as TVs, VCRs, DVD players, and switchers
in one of three processing modes: local, remote, or mixed.
In local processing mode, the CN-TVAV operates as an independent control system,
uploaded with a SIMPL Windows logic program to control network devices.
In remote processing mode, the CN-TVAV operates in a master/slave arrangement
whereby the unit is controlled by another control system, typically a CNMSX-Pro.
Here the CN-TVAV is a peripheral device within the program of the host control
system. Thus all the functionality of the unit is accessed via the host control system,
with no programming in the CN-TVAV itself. Remote processing makes five slots
available on the CN-TVAV.
Mixed processing mode, as the name suggests, combines local processing and
remote processing. That is, some functionality is programmed into the unit whereas
other commands come from a host control system. For example, the Versiports
might be used to control equipment via the program in the CN-TVAV, while the IR
Port might be accessed by the host control system (with no IR driver in the CNTVAV). Mixed processing makes three slots available on the CN-TVAV.
The CN-TVAV symbol detail requires no programming.
To program a built-in card or device driver expand the CN-TVAV by clicking the
plus sign in Program View. Then drag the device to Detail View.

CN-ISC
Signals
• Digital inputs: <dig-o1> through <dig-o999>
• Analog inputs: <an_o1> through <an_o254>
• Serial inputs: <serial-o1> through <serial-o127>
• Digital outputs: <dig-i1> through <dig-i999>
• Analog outputs: <an_i1> through <an_i254>
• Serial outputs: <serial-i1> through <serial-i127>
Description
The CN-ISC symbol is an Intersystem Communications (ISC) symbol that enables
communication between a CN-TVAV and another control system.
Processing Modes
The CN-TVAV controls devices such as TVs, VCRs, DVD players, and switchers
in one of three processing modes: local, remote, or mixed. The CN-ISC symbol is
available when the CN-TVAV operates in either local or mixed processing mode; it
is not needed when the unit operates in remote processing mode.
®
In local processing mode, the CN-TVAV operates as an independent control
system, uploaded with a SIMPL Windows logic program to control network
devices. Depending on the application, the CN-TVAV may or may not have to
communicate with another control system. If it does need to communicate with
another control system, then 16 discrete symbols (channels) are available on slot 05
of the unit.
In remote processing mode, the CN-TVAV operates in a master/slave arrangement
whereby the unit is controlled by another control system, typically a CNMSX-Pro.
Here the CN-TVAV is a peripheral device within the program of the host control
system. Thus all the functionality of the unit is accessed via the host control system,
with no programming in the CN-TVAV itself. As described previously, the CN-ISC
symbol is not needed in remote processing mode, since in this instance the CENTVAV is simply another controlled network device.
Mixed processing mode, as the name suggests, combines local processing and
remote processing. That is, some functionality is programmed into the unit whereas
other commands come from a host control system. For example, the Versiports
might be used to control equipment via the program in the CN-TVAV, while the IR
Port might be accessed by the host control system (with no IR driver in the CNTVAV). In these applications, the host must communicate with the CN-TVAV via
the CN-ISC symbol that is built into slot 05 of the device. The 16 channels will be
visible in Program Manager.
Symbol Description
An ISC symbol can have practically any number and combination of digital, analog,
and serial inputs and outputs. Whenever any of its inputs changes value, the symbol
transmits this information across the network. On the receiving end, the data comes
into a second ISC symbol, which drives its outputs to the corresponding values.
24 • Crestron SIMPL
The inputs of an ISC symbol are mapped to the outputs of another ISC symbol as
follows: all signals are internally numbered by position, starting at 0. Thus the index
of the first defined signal is 0, the index of the second is 1, the third, 2, and so forth.
Since signals are mapped by index, it is not necessary for input/output "pairs" to
