Crestron Brand Reliability

Crestron Control Server

The brand has positioned itself as the number 1 in the corporate and AV control market, with over 50 years of experience and innovation. They have a strong focus on ensuring the quality, security, and interoperability of their products and systems.

One of the features that sets them apart is that they manufacture their own products in their ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified facilities. They subject their products to rigorous performance, durability, and compatibility tests before launching them on the market. They are one of the few brands that offer a lifetime warranty for some products, such as those in the lighting line, something you will hardly find with another manufacturer.

Large companies prefer it, as it ensures interoperability between versions, so their products do not become obsolete quickly. We have clients with Crestron products that have been installed for over 20 years, they are still working and are compatible with new solutions.

Crestron Home: The Smart Solution for the Home

Crestron Home is an operating system that allows you to create a smart home that helps nurture health and well-being. You can control lighting, climate, security, entertainment, and more from a single app or touchscreen.

This ecosystem lets you create customized scenes that fit your lifestyle. For example, you can schedule a wake-up scene that gently turns on the lights, gradually raises the shades, and plays your favorite music. Or you can program a movie scene that dims the lights, closes the shades, and activates the projector.

It also allows you to control your home from anywhere using your smartphone or tablet. You can check security cameras, adjust the temperature, or turn on the lights before you arrive home.

The solution is compatible with major virtual assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. You can use your voice to control your home without needing to touch any buttons.

Crestron Flex: The Flexible Solution for Video Conferencing

Conference room with Crestron video conferencing and collaboration system.

Crestron Flex is a flexible solution for video conferencing that facilitates collaboration among a dispersed workforce. It offers solutions designed for every type of space, from small rooms to large auditoriums.

Flex does not replace video conferencing solutions, rather it integrates popular platforms like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet, providing a high-quality experience for each user. The aim of the solution is for you to start or join a meeting with just a touch of a button or a voice command.

One of its most useful features is the ability to share content from any personal device without the need for cables or adapters, regardless of the operating system. You can use AirMedia or USB-C to present your screen or document hassle-free.

Crestron Flex includes different types of devices depending on the size and function of the space:

• Bars: These are all-in-one devices that include a camera, microphone, and speaker. They can be mounted above or below the monitor. They are ideal for small or medium-sized rooms.
• Kits: These are modular sets that include a camera, microphone/speakerphone, and touchscreen. They can connect to any monitor or projector. They are ideal for medium to large rooms.
• Systems: These are integrated systems that include a PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) camera, microphone/speakerphone array, touchscreen, and UC (Unified Communications) processor. They can connect to multiple monitors or projectors. They are ideal for auditoriums or multipurpose rooms.

AirMedia: The Simple Solution for Wireless Presentation

Crestron AirMedia collaboration system.

AirMedia is a simple solution for wireless presentation that allows sharing content from any personal device in a simple and secure manner. AirMedia facilitates presentations and meeting conducting in any space, without the need for cables or adapters.

AirMedia consists of two elements: a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter is a small device that connects to the HDMI port of the personal device, be it a computer, tablet, or smartphone. The receiver is a device that connects to the space’s monitor or projector.

To share content, you just have to turn on the transmitter, select the desired receiver, and press the Share button. The content will automatically display on the monitor or projector of the space.

AirMedia offers several advantages over other wireless solutions like AirPlay or Screen Share:

• It’s compatible with any personal device regardless of its operating system (Windows, Mac OS, iOS, or Android).
• Allows sharing up to four screens simultaneously in quadrant mode or switching between them in full-screen mode.
• Allows controlling the shared content from the space’s touchscreen or from the presenter’s personal device.
• Allows implementing corporate security settings.
• Ensures a latency less than 30ms.

Crestron Room Scheduling: The Practical Solution for Room Booking

Room Scheduling is a practical solution for room booking that helps find and reserve the right space with the right technology, from anywhere. It integrates with the most popular calendar systems like Microsoft Exchange, Office 365, and Google Calendar, offering an intuitive and customizable interface.

This solution consists of two elements: touch panels placed outside the rooms and an application installed on personal devices. The touch panels display room availability and schedules, allowing for instant or advance booking. The application enables room searching and booking from the desktop or anywhere else.

Crestron Room Scheduling offers several advantages to optimize space utilization and user productivity:

• Avoids conflicts and room wastage by clearly displaying which rooms are occupied, free, or reserved.
• Facilitates choosing the right room by showing the features and capacity of each room, as well as the technology available in it.
• Enhances the meeting experience by allowing you to start or join a video conference with just a touch of a button or a voice command.
