Crestron and Texas Instruments have joined efforts by directly connecting and controlling DLP projectors via the LAN using RoomView Express software. The latest projectors built on DLP technology offer standard Ethernet connectivity, and Crestron RoomView provides the control of all projectors remotely and globally on the network. Crestron control is built into DLP projectors to deliver direct network management without a control system or programming.
Owners of Crestron “direct connect” DLP projectors from brands such as Dell, BenQ, 3M can register and download the free RoomView software to get monitoring and control of up to 250 projectors, with instant status and control notifications, including projector presence, power status and lamp life.
Every direct connect RoomView-DLP projector has Crestron Flash based e-Control embedded to allow cross platform control via Mac, PC or mobile device. Connect legacy and other installed projectors to the network by adding a Crestron control processor, such as the QM-RMC. Every projector, and other a-v devices, in every room within a building, across a campus and throughout a business can be managed and controlled by RoomView.
