Stand C14, Hall 3, CEDIA UK Expo 2005

Crestron, the market leader in control and automation solutions, is featuring the very latest product innovations in its Total Home Technology package at CEDIA Expo 2005. On Stand C14, Hall 3, will the company be unveiling a range of new touchpanels, as well as other exciting developments, that consolidate their leadership position in the European custom installation market.

"This is the biggest stand we've taken yet at CEDIA Expo and perfectly demonstrates our commitment to CEDIA and the European custom installation market in general," said Robin van Meeuwen MD of Crestron UK. "CEDIA Expo is a key date on the calendar for us and gives us the perfect European launch platform for our residential products."

Highlights on the stand will include:

* TPS FAMILY: The world's leading touchpanel brand introduces its next generation of Isys(r) touchpanels at CEDIA Expo, including the new TPS, TPS-G, TPMC-QM and TPMC-CH Series', which all offer enhanced graphics capabilities and faster processing speeds at breakthrough pricing. Isys(r) touchpanels are available with a 12"or 15" display, or a 17" widescreen display in a variety of styles including desktop tiltcase and wallmount designs.

* TPMC-10: The TPMC10 is the flagship member of Crestron's family of Isys i/O Touchpanel Media Centers. The new Isys i/O range is comprised of three feature-packed models - the TPMC10, a 15" standard display (TPMC-15) and 17" widescreen display (TPMC-17). Each Isys i/O model provides a unified solution for easy access and control of most digital content without the need for additional computers.

* Cameo(tm) Keypad : Crestron's new line of decorative lighting keypads, the new Cameo(tm) Keypad by Crestron, utilises an exclusive flush mounting system that results in a footprint that is up to 75% smaller than a standard Decora(r) style faceplate. Every Cameo keypad has a complete set of buttons and blanks in three sizes, allowing the installer to customize and configure up to six backlit buttons, which allow both "rocker" action and single press operation for up to 18 functions in total. Cameo is available in 10 designer-inspired colors in addition to the standard black, white, almond and brown. Mounting options include a choice of standard installation in a conventional gang-box using standard Decora(r) style faceplate, or standalone using Crestron's exclusive flush-mounting system for the ultimate low-profile appearance.

* The iLux(tm) CLS-C6 Integrated Zoned Lighting System can control six lighting zones and 6 groups of blinds or curtains, and is perfect for new and retrofit applications including whole house and home cinemas, as well as auditoria, boardrooms, and learning environments. iLux CLS-C6 replaces switches and dimmers on the wall, and centralizes the lighting, blind and screen controls. End-users no longer need to search for the right switch plate or fumble through trial and error to find the right combination of light settings. The iLux CLS-C6 enables user-preset lighting scenes, and offers the added benefit of seamless integration with Crestron's award-winning AV control solutions.

* Intercom : Crestron offers solutions that make it easy to integrate sophisticated intercom and zone paging functionality into systems that allow you to view security cameras on touchpanels and televisions throughout the home.
