Digital Video Processor Crestron C2N-DVP4DI

Converting Programs and Modules Created for Other

Systems

SIMPL Windows can convert a program created for another type of control system

by simply changing the target to a C2N-DVP4DI.

NOTE: All modules must be 2-Series.

To do this, you can open a SIMPL program that contains a control system other than

the C2N-DVP4DI, and then replace the existing control system with the C2N-

DVP4DI. That is, drag the C2N-DVP4DI from the control systems folder onto the

existing control system in System Views, and click Yes when prompted to confirm

the replacement.

If the program contains SIMPL+ or User modules, the conversion might generate

error messages. This is because modules and programs often contain symbols with

“ambiguous” signals. For example, the inputs of the Serial to Analog symbol can be

defined as either analog or serial. Although X-Generation processors support

ambiguous signals, the 2-Series processor requires all signal types to be strictly

defined.

If the program you want to convert contains SIMPL+ or User modules, Crestron

recommends that you first convert each module before converting the larger

program. In this way, the compiler can resolve any ambiguous signals in the modules

and minimize errors when the larger program is converted.

If the program contains connections to ports or devices not supported by the C2N-

DVP4DI, the conversion finds network devices that match the port operation. If it

does not find a match, it reports an error.

Converting SIMPL+ Modules

1. Open the SIMPL+ module you want to convert.

2. Choose the 2-Series processor as the target by clicking the toolbar button, as

shown in the graphic.

SIMPL+ Toolbar

NOTE: You can select both X and 2-Series as the targets, so that the module will

work for both types of control systems. However, you are limited to SIMPL+

keywords and functions that are supported on both systems. If you do not choose a

target, then the module may or may not work, depending on the constructs that are

used.

3. Save and compile the module by clicking the Save and Compile toolbar

button; alternatively, click Save and Compile on the Build menu (or press

F12).

Converting User Modules

1. Open the User module you want to convert.

2. Click Project | Edit Program Header.
