Meridian Announces Partnership with Crestron (22/10/2004)

CEDIA Demonstration will highlight Meridian Multi-room Solutions automated by Crestron

Meridian Audio Ltd, the leading UK-based manufacturer of high-end audio, video and home theatre systems and components, is pleased to announce that it has become a member of the Crestron Integrated Partner Program (I2P). CEDIA will mark the beginning of the new partnership and will be highlighted by a demonstration of the two combined technologies in Meridian booth (#440).

"Meridian has offered products with digital technology since the 1980s. For years the full feature capabilities have been incorporated in our products with limited means to access them. Crestron's control systems release the full potential of the Meridian. We can now offer a complete multi-room digital system fully automated by Crestron. We are thrilled to be a part of the Intergrated Partner Program and believe our dealers will benefit from all its advantages," said Norm Steinke, Vice President of Sales for Meridian America.

Crestron's Integrated Partner program is designed to allow partner manufacturer's products to operate seamlessly in a Crestron systems environment. The I2P software modules developed in conjunction with these partnerships offer the Crestron control systems programmer a simplified, timesaving drag-and-drop solution for integration of all partners' products. The Integrated Partner Program makes it easy to take advantage of the enhanced functionality afforded by using a manufacturer's serial, Ethernet, or other enhanced interface.

"The Integrated Partner Program was developed with companies like Meridian in mind," said Crestron Director of Market Development Chris Wildfoerster. "We strive to have as many quality products available to our dealers and their customers and our partnership with Meridian means that they can now integrate their fantastic technology into a Crestron Digital Home Theater or throughout any Crestron-controlled home."
