Crestron manufactures remotes that connect to, and make use of their control systems in order to control other electronic and mechanical devices. From one of their touch screen displays or keypads you are capable of controlling your home theater, lights, air conditioning, and speakers throughout the house.
The main purpose is to have a single custom built user interface for all kinds of hardware which are quite often from many different otherwise not compatible vendors.
The processor range include devices with
Ethernet interfaces to allow remote control using E-Control to emulate a wired touchpanel using a PC web browser.
More recently Crestron have introduced the
Adagio and the MPS line of products that have 'Out Of The Box Functionality' to reduce the requirement for custom programming for simple audio & video distribution systems.
