Crestron Flex Unified Communications and Collaboration solutions provide a native Microsoft Teams, Skype for Business and Zoom Rooms software experience
A complete portfolio of Crestron Flex Unified Communications and Collaboration solutions is now available and provides a native Microsoft Teams, Skype for Business and Zoom Rooms software experience, including one-touch join. Flex solutions come in several forms: the P100 Series delivers the Microsoft Teams or Skype for Business experience to users of desktop phones; the B100 Series is said to deliver crystal-clear audio with a beam-forming microphone array and an integrated, 4K, high-definition camera; the M100 Series is a tabletop solution that allows users to instantly and securely call, present and video conference using Microsoft Teams, Skype for Business or Zoom Rooms software; and the C100 Series is a flexible, integrated UC kit that brings one-touch join to even the most custom spaces.
Crestron has also unveiled its FT2 FlipTops that reportedly fit into almost any standard cut-out and sit flush on the surface. A single touch of the button on the FT2 FlipTop activates its door, which silently retracts and disappears. All connectors and cables are revealed at table level to power, charge and connect devices. A full line of accessories is available, ranging from retractors to international power modules.
The workplace technology manufacturer has also expanded its DM Lite endpoint product line with the HD-RX-510-4K-E receiver to provide auto-switching, amplified audio outputs for speakers and network connectivity for management and set up. Paired with an MPC3 media presentation controller, the HD-RX-510-4K-E is said to provide intuitive control via engraveable buttons and dials that can be configured through the .AV Framework configuration portal. The system can be provisioned, monitored and managed using any web browser via the Crestron XiO Cloud IoT-based provisioning system.
Crestron has also extended its DM NVX family. The new DM-NVX-E30(C) and DM-NVX-D30(C) are encode- or decode-only units that support HDMI connectivity and analogue audio, delivering additional flexibility for basic endpoints when only video and audio are needed. The DM-NVX-352(C) provides the same feature set as the DM-NVX-350(C) plus support for AES67 and Dante audio networking.
