Crestron will be demonstrating its 'Every Room Connected' philosophy, with new products including the Media Processing System (MPS), the latest generation of facility-wide network control software (RoomView 7.0) and the latest Isys i/O WiFi touchpanel, the TPMC-8X.
"We are looking forward to the opportunity of showcasing our single platform solution and related product portfolio to decision makers at this, the most important AV event in the Middle East.," explains Vincent Philippo, regional director, Crestron Middle East. "We will be able to demonstrate that Crestron can deliver the only complete control and connectivity solution for every room, every application and every budget."
Designed as a complete out-of-the-box AV presentation solution for boardrooms, auditoria and lecture rooms, the new Media Processing System (MPS) is the culmination of three years of technology innovation. The MPS is a control system, multimedia matrix switcher, microphone mixer, audio processor, and QuickMedia (QM) distribution centre, all in a single, rackmount-ready package. All four models in the range feature QuickMedia routing and processing, seamless system expansion, network connectivity and RoomView remote management capabilities.
Crestron's RoomView 7.0 is the latest generation of its facility-wide network control software. This updated version is the first and only real-time, multi-user help desk software to offer complete facility-wide network control of AV resources and environmental systems from any PC on the LAN or WAN.
The latest Isys i/O WiFi touchpanel the TPMC-8X, is a new addition to Crestron's range of wireless media centre touchpanel. It allows users to control all systems, including lighting, heating, security, blinds/curtains and much more all at the touch of a button. Users are also able to surf the internet, stream digital media, email and carry out other PC-based tasks all from this one wireless device.

With Matrix Distributed Audio solutions, listening to music has never been simpler."
