    Crestron MC3 3-Series

    Most Innovative Control Product for Commercial Installation Crestron MC3 3-Series Engineered like an IT platform rather than an AV system, the MC 3 3-Series Control System is a cloud-based architecture that unleashes more processing power, faster speeds, more memory, enhanced security, and powerful multitasking capabilities that enable the implementation of integrated building control for the first time. MC3 combines the speed of a computer operating system with the reliability of a network appliance, enabling real-time multitasking to run up to 10 independent programs simultaneously. Upgrades can now be performed on any individual subsystem, i.e. AV, lighting, HVAC, and security systems, while allowing other programs to run seamlessly in the background.
