Simple, Integrated Programming with Systembuilder 2.0 from Crestron (18/7/2006)

The award-winning SystemBuilder 2.0 from Crestron is a fully integrated, graphical environment for easy start-to-finish design, programming, setup, and troubleshooting of all types of control systems that use any type of interface such as keypads, touchpanels, XPanel controls, lighting dimmers, thermostats, and even cameras. SystemBuilder 2.0 is a complete graphical environment for control system programmers and designers of every level.

The highly regarded Sound and Video Contractor magazine honored Crestron at the 4th Annual Innovations in Technology Product Awards when SystemBuilder 2.0 was selected as the best 'Business Productivity' tool in the industry. SystemBuilder 2.0 fully integrates several powerful Crestron software programming and system design tools, as well as multiple Crestron control systems. Crestron's Toolbox*, VT Pro-e** and Digital Media Tools operate from one simple programme and an entire control system can be designed, programmed (including GUI interfaces), adjusted and tested right from a PC.

System views intuitively organize the complete programming process, starting with drag-and-drop selection and placement of all user interfaces and equipment, which also automatically programmes the system using default settings. As hardware is added or replaced, and GUI elements changed, the programming is automatically modified in the background. Once the system and GUI designs are completed, SystemBuilder 2.0 provides real-time system testing and debugging and adjustment of audio and video settings. Designers can use the programme to generate bills of material, cabling diagrams and other system documentation. SystemBuilder also includes plug-ins and wizards to speed the setup and installation of MP2 and QM based MediaManager systems, and residential audio distribution.
