Hey everyone

I am sure some people have seen this video from crestron being sent around the internet [Link: vimeo.com]

Unfortunately its clear that they didn't read the instruction manual or bother to set anything up on the Just Add Power parts. Here is a video from Just Add Power demoing the tests crestron did.



Let me know your thoughts!

It looks like Crestron should've called Just Add Power to ask how to properly connect the unit?

Just wow.

I have a lot of thoughts about this but can't really articulate them this second. I do know that this industry is ran by a-holes in charge of a-holes that market to a-holes; and we, CI's, are the-in-the-trenches-guinea-pigs while others get rich. I absolutely hate it.

BWD, what is your best guess at what Crestron did to make the video appear like that on the JAP gear? I mean, we've been using it for years now and I know nothing other than running the config tool.
how in the hell does ernie make money?

And On top of rigging their test, creation doesn’t include beef jerky with their orders either.

Btw, is it possible to order that jerky by itself? I’d buy a case.

Some company is intentionally misleading people. I can’t wait to see the public apology.

I didn't realize this subject might have had anything to do with beliefs in the origin of the universe!
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

Don't even have to watch the entire video or pay attention to the results/specs. It takes people with ZERO class to call out competitors, by name, and deliberately try to knock em down. They can easily have done the video to showcase their own product without trying to put bad press out there for their competitors. What a bunch of classless douchebags. Oh, and someone tell the d-bag to get a haircut.

Definitely some misinformation sprinkled in there, like having to only use specific switches.

Tho JAP is long due for authentication on the RX/TX units themselves

What a f-ing joke. J+P is eating their lunch and they have their panties in a bunch. I thought Crestron was better than this. Although didn't they do this with the first gen DM and another competitor?

Isn't that a basis for a lawsuit?

Seems well below the companies core values. Would also add that the JAP video wasn’t oozing with professionalism either.

Right; so now it comes down to who seems more credible as a spokesperson, Kenny G’s pudgy son or a girl with tats and a nose ring ;-)
