These are all third party GUI's that don't "come with" the Prodigy system though...
Separate question - I'm going to have Silentgliss electric blinds in the main room. There's a lot of glass t different angles so it will probably be ten individual blinds. Can PMC2 handle this or do I need a PMC3 that can take a crestron blind module?
Well teh PMC2 & PMC3 both only have 2 relay controls, so if you are just controlling with a simple relay then No, neither can control. I haven't worked with shade control much, but many have a central unit for controlling the shades and you would just talk to that unit.
Otherwise, I'm sure there are serial devices the provide control of multiple relays.
As for the GUI, nothing really "comes with" Prodigy, it depends on your dealer. Crestron has Graphic sets that they provide. We really don't use any of them or just parts of them. We provide the same GUI to all our clients, but it is a GUI that we have develope or purchased and implemented into our programming.
The GUI in the video is a custom template. You get the standard destiny template with the Mobile Pro G. Yes it does work with prodigy. You can customize the Gui any way you like
Hi guys, I'm looking for a bit of advice on what size of network cabinet I will need for the following, and whether any of the prodigy gear is rack mountable (or will i need mainly shelves- and if so how many). Cabinet will be secured at the back of an integrated garage (insulated etc).
Rack will need to hold
PMC3 6x4 Matrix Ipod Doc (or is this better in the living area) PAMP Sonos ZP90 Wireless gateway
Patch Panels Router 24 Port Switch Synology Nas
2x Cable boxes ASRock HTPC
The brand I'm looking at come in various dimensions:
600*600, 600*780, 780*780, 780*600, and 12U to 47U
I may as well leave some room for future purchases too!
If you can fit the 47U, use it. the price between 32U and 42U isn't that much of a difference, not sure about up to 47U. The xtra space is ALWAYS a plus. I ALWAYS go with the biggest rack I can get away with.
Asking every little question here is not research. If you are interested in cooling, perform a search on cooling of electronic systems. There are several good papers out there.
Based on your questions, it appears that you have not even had a preliminary meeting with a CI. I’m not usually and ass (depends who you ask I guess), but I use these forums to learn and help where I can. Your questions are as basic as tying your shoelaces.
I think you need to get a little further along in the process with your CI and then poses some pertinent questions.
Prodigy is a good product and choice for many customers. Good luck with your system.
Ok, forget I asked. I didnt realise it was so much work speccing a cabinet - will leave it to the CI
One other question - What do you guys think of Prodigy using an ipod as a hard disc for music?
I realise that you can get a seperate creston server (ADMS), but I already have all my music on a NAS and dont want the other functionality (and expense) of it.
Once my library gets bigger than the biggest ipod there are issues?
Also with the ipad2's arrival, I take it they will have to re-do the ipanel and other mounts etc?

I'd skip the iPod dock. Autonomic Controls' MCS software provides for 2 or 5 sources.
It provides digital music files from networked PCs (and I would think NAS), Sirius/XM, Pandora, and internet radio stations (via RadioTime.com). Spotify is another option - which I don't think is available in the U.S. currently. Rumor of Rhapsody.
I don't think there is a limit on storage. Supports FLAC too.
Autonomic iPad app is slick, but control may be easier with the (new) Crestron app, or a 3rd party app (CF).
