Crestron DGE-2 Digital Graphics Engine

“Device Settings: Crestron DGE-2 (Ethernet)” Window

NOTE: The ID code specified in the SIMPL Windows program must

match the Net ID or IP ID of each unit. Refer to “Identity Code” which

starts on page 18.

Program Manager

Program Manager is the view where programmers “program” a Crestron control

system by assigning signals to symbols.

The symbol can be viewed by double clicking on the icon or dragging it into Detail

View. Each signal in the symbol is described in the SIMPL Windows help file (F1).

Programming with VisionTools Pro-e

Touch screen pages should be created in Crestron VisionTools

(VT Pro-e) to allow

accessing the embedded applications, switching of source signals to desired outputs

as well as selection of the system mode. There are no special programming

requirements to use the functions of the DGE-2 in a room control system.

NOTE: The DGE-2 uses chroma key color (with RGB values 4,4,4) for rendering

video. Any elements in a project (e.g., controls) that use the same color appears

transparent on the display.

Multi-Mode Objects

Multi-mode objects offer high-

erformance programming!

The single most advanced VT Pro-e high performance programming technique

involving the DGE-2 is the concept of multi-mode objects. A multi-mode object

(i.e., button, legend, etc.) is an object drawn on a VT Pro-e page that can have one or

more active and inactive visible settings (modes).

For examples, refer to www.crestron.com/exampleprograms

and search for multi-

mode object examples. This file contains the VT Pro-e touch screen files and SIMPL

Windows files that illustrate the high-performance capabilities of multi-mode

objects.
