Crestron Home Technology can encompass many things - Home Cinema, AV distribution, Lighting and Window coverings, Security & Intercoms and Climate control. Custom designed touchpanels can provide intuitive interfaces to very complicated equipment meaning one consistent look and feel for many devices. Every room can view the door camera and communicate with a visitor via the same touch panel which controls audio and lighting. Wifi touch panels can give you freedom to roam round a room and even have access to the internet and Skype
Audio and Video Distribution
Audio and Video distribution can occur over inexpensive Cat5e cable and still be at the highest quality available. Integration with an audio or DVD server can give access to the full music or film collection throughout the property with different rooms watching or listening to the same thing simultaneously.
Intelligent Lighting Control
Lighting control can really enhance your space - the lights can dim when the film starts and raise automatically when the film is paused or ends. Lighting scenes can raise or lower light levels at the touch of a button . This activity, coupled with curtain and blind control, can be replayed when in holiday mode, automatically replaying the last two weeks activity.
Every Room Connected
The commercial range from Crestron is designed around the Every Room Connected principle. This delivers complete control and connectivity for every room in the scheme via a number of products - FlipTops and touchpanels; AV Switchers and distribution systems. The introduction of the Media Manager family has meant the solution is now more cost effective than ever. Products like the MPS-200 have multiple video and computer inputs, built in audio routing & amplification as well as the usual Crestron source control options. Add in lighting, electric blinds and microphones and one box will handle an entire boardroom. The UPX-2 range takes the Media Manager to another level - similar functionality but with the addition of a built in PC. Multiple scalable windows give the ultimate control to the presenter and allow full preview and control of sources on the podium. Removing the need for a separate PC ensures full integration and the freedom to perform presentations like never before
Low Cost Room Solutions
iMedia is a one wire solution which transmits power, control, video, computer and audio over a single Cat5e cable. Designed for low cost one room solutions the iMedia family is perfect for classrooms. Quick Media has a similar approach to iMedia but is designed for larger spaces like auditoriums, lecture theaters etc. Cable runs on QuickMedia products can run over 300 feet whilst still allowing full control and multiple source locations via FlipTop floor boxes.
