@AmericanAir - need help - phone agent didn’t extend my rewards trip, but rather moved it up 30 days. No one was able to restore original itinerary. Called - no one empowered to help. Called AA rewards - no help. Emailed customer care - no help. Employee mistake cost me $4200+

Chris Stapleton just delivered one of the best National Anthem performances I’ve heard in a long time 🇺🇸

I am very proud of my teammates for making this integration possible!

@eastendbar Panel connects to the same network as the DGX. Its a POE device and either join the LAN or go into the ICSNet port on your DGX. Coding would be through a dealer or an independent programmer (AMX VIP). No visual config tool 4 DGX. Code language = Netlinx and is similar to C++

[Chris Backus @AVControlGuy]

@eastendbar Correct - the DGX is the audio/video switcher and system brains (controller). The DXLink parts serve as distance transport devices to send everything over category cable. The touch panel simply provides the visual front end.

[Chris Backus @AVControlGuy]

@eastendbar Current touch panels are 7” or 10” diagonal and are available in wall mount or table top flavors. The answer to those options will derive your model number.

[Chris Backus @AVControlGuy]

@eastendbar The R4 remote has been discontinued for some time. The MXD-701 is also discontinued but runs on the most recent OS. You could use RPM to program the solution, or leverage a member of AMX VIP to code it for you.

[Chris Backus @AVControlGuy]

@FedEx How many delivery exceptions for a single box would be considered acceptable? 1? 2? Today marks 3 for a package that was to be delivered 5 days ago. #Unacceptable #PhoneSupportNoHelp
#JustDeliverIt

[Chris Backus @AVControlGuy]

@BradfordBenn Best drinking game EVER... in my personal opinion.
