The One app to control them all

The new Crestron One app allows employees to control the room environment directly from their mobile device, removing the need to rely on communal touchscreen technologies to achieve wayfinding, room automation and content sharing capabilities. Via the application, employees and guests at any workplace can control room technology safely, securely and reliably through their personal devices which automatically detect Crestron systems, authenticate via the touchscreen and securely connect.

Crestron One works with the manufacturer’s TSW touchscreens via a direct Bluetooth connection, without requiring devices to reside on the same network, ensuring compliance with an enterprise’s global IT security standards. Using existing equipment and code, without any additional programming required, managers can configure the in-room experience to select the necessary controls for each space. Regardless of how systems are set up, or which Crestron control system is being utilised, the One app delivers a consistent experience from any mobile device for conference rooms, huddle or other shared spaces.

TSW 70 Series

Speaking of TSW touchscreens, Crestron has introduced TSW 70 Series touchscreens that support a range of applications via customisable user interfaces. Available in two configurations: wall-mounted with 5-, 7- or 10-inch screens, and tabletop versions available in 7- and 10-inch formats together with a cast aluminum enclosure. All models in the 70 Series offer higher resolution display and H.265 video streaming support. The touchscreen devices also permit touchless control – the new proximity sensor detects motion to wake the screen up upon approach and can provide additional feedback to the broader room system. Wi-Fi has also been integrated into the 7- and 10-inch models, while improved light sensors and algorithms auto adjust the screen for optimal brightness.

In the realm of video distribution, five new enterprise-class HDMI switcher models have been introduced, comprising 4x1 (HD-MD4X1-4KZ-E), 4x2 (HD-MD4X2-4KZ-E), 4x4 (HD-MD4X4-4KZ-E), 8x4 (HD-MD8X4-4KZ-E) and 8x8 (HD-MD8X8-4KZ-E) configurations.

DM-NVX-360

All support 4K60 4:4:4 @18Gbps, while network security also has a central focus with the implementation of common IT standards such as 802.1x, Active Directory credential management integration, PKI Authentication, SSH, SFTP, HTTPS, and TLS. The switchers include Crestron XiO Cloud service support for network deployment at scale, help desk integration and remote management.

Lastly, two new models in Crestron’s flagship DM NVX AV-over-IP signal distribution platform have been released. The new DM-NVX-360 and DM-NVX-363 models enable support for the latest industry standards, including AES67, Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and POE+.
