Tech Tuesday - Crestron MPC3 Control System

In this Tech Tuesday, we take a look at the Crestron Electronics MPC3 Media Presentation Controller. This fully customizable, powerful and sleek control solution is perfect for those who want to keep space and efficiency in mind.

 How it Works

The Crestron MPC3 is a wall-mounted, POE-powered control system, automated processor, and control panel, all in one. The unit's control capabilities include AV system, video display, lighting, window shades, you name it. It's a simple yet powerful controller that is an excellent solution for compact spaces.

Each of the backlit capacitive buttons can be labelled using the icon chips provided or custom labelled using laser-engravable chips (sold separately). An AV integrator determines what is required upon installation, and the panels are customized accordingly.

Proximity sensors built into the MPC3 detect movement allowing the buttons to wake up when a user approaches. The auto-brightness control ensures optimal visibility of the buttons, regardless of the lighting conditions.

A blue backlit button indicates that the device is active and, when inactive, the backlit buttons are white. This feature makes it clear what media source or lighting scene is selected.

Ideal Use Case

Due to the versatility of the Crestron MPC3, there is no singular "use case". From classrooms, meeting rooms, lecture halls, and training facilities, this presentation controller is an ideal solution for any environment in need of intuitive, robust control that may have AV limitations due to space.
