Control systems, and specifically, control programming are the backbone of any audio/visual integrated room. Users and participants alike can switch between content on a PC, projector or interactive whiteboard. They can also mute and unmute microphones, pan, tilt, and zoom cameras for video conferencing. There are a variety of other actions that can be taken, and it used to require an array of different remotes and controls to execute these primary activities. Now everything can be neatly organized in an intuitive, custom designed control system.
Some features of Creston’s user friendly interface include:
It is important that in the early stages of integration you request mock-ups, screenshots, and button-by-button descriptions of each function. When the end-users have an opportunity to experience their system, they are able to request changes before the system is actually deployed.
All of these features make a room simple to use for any participant, which allows for full leverage of the integration. However, there is additional expertise that can make the user interface even simpler. Link Integration Group, a Crestron Commercial Elite Dealer based in Baton Rouge has expertly trained programmers with a deep knowledge of control system platforms and they design an interface based on each organization’s unique needs. Making sophisticated systems simple to use is what they do.
