Awesome thanks!
I actually really enjoy learning new things and love to program.
Crestron has been such a great challenge to enjoy.. And luckily when I get stuck I can call true blue or fall back on you guys.

Thanks again.

That's one way to do it--using Dynamic graphic--but there can be issues with the image since there are no settings for a dynamic graphic. There is also the matter of determining the syntax of the string carrying the video. This panel is an IP panel and as such if you look in the folder labeled Applications, you'll find an mjpeg viewer. This is the official way of getting video on to an IP Crestron panel. ( By IP, I mean a panel running a computer OS rather than one controlled via IP but which would otherwise accept analog video over a separate wire. By IP I mean to suggest that you have to send video to the panel via Ethernet. )

You need to draw the mjpeg viewer on the page. My suggestion is to draw a button where you want the video the exact size of the video window you want. Then look at the size and location of that button and enter it in the default parameters of mjpeg viewer ( double click on the application ). Enter the other default settings as per the Crstron manual--typically there will be a selection for the Crestron steamer and its IP address and you're finished. The purpose of the button is to provide the values for size and placement of the mjpeg viewer. Don't forget to delete it once you've determined the values and entered them.

You can just hire me one day a week on the other hand. Much as I hate going to Brooklyn for the right price I'll march into hell.

Oh, and I've forgotten, you need to write logic in Systembuilder to call the viewer high when on that page and low when it's not. You cannot leave the applicaton high all of the time. I don't know if they've finally gotten around to making this easy in Systembuilder. When I did it I had to use a logic macro to call the application high. There is a digital join in the application definition ( the same place you double clicked to enter the string syntax, size and placment ). When that join is high the viewer is high. I used a state variable to do this with the page selection driving that variable to True and False bringing it low. This logic was accomplished with a logic macro but hopefully they've now incorporated this into systembuilder by now.
