Crestron Ships New, Affordable Integration Control Systems, Multi-Purpose Keypads
More Control System Power, Speed and Memory at Lower Price Point
Crestron announced that its new generation PMC3 and PMC3-XP Prodigy® control systems are now shipping. The PMC3 control systems provide an IT-based backbone for simplified, affordable whole house control and automation. Improvements include faster processing speeds, long-range wireless support and more memory for greater expandability, and increased design flexibility.
