RMC3: 3-Series® Room Media Controller ~

Description

The Crestron® RMC3 is a compact and cost-effective 3-Series Control System® designed to provide control and monitoring for a single display device, a small AV system, lighting and shading, climate control, security, energy management, and many other specialized applications. Its tiny form factor allows it to be placed just about anywhere with the option to attach it to a flat surface or DIN rail using the mounting bracket provided. It can fit easily behind a video display or above a projector, and provides enough control ports to control the display device along with a screen or lift. Cresnet® and Ethernet connectivity provides full support for the full line of Crestron touch screens, keypads, dimmers, shades, thermostats, and other peripherals. Featuring the 3-Series® control engine, the RMC3 provides a robust, feature-packed controller that’s ideal for mass deployment across college campuses, corporate office buildings, museums, MDUs, hotels, and convention centers.
