APAD - Crestron's Wheel of Fortune (5/6/2007)

The new APAD wall mount LCD controller is an elegant, cost-effective room control solution for Crestron's Adanto (Adagio outside the UK) home entertainment system, MPS multimedia presentation system, or any control system application requiring a versatile, low-cost user interface.

The APAD features a 'nav-wheel' to turn music volume up or down, scroll through available audio sources, radio channels, CDs and song titles. The built-in "key click" feature audibly enhances the nav-wheel's natural tactile feel, and the "enter" button to the right quickly executes the desired selection set by the nav-wheel. A dedicated "power" button is also included for fast, easy power on/off control.

The white-on-black LCD display gives the user a large amount of information in a small space including graphical support for scrolling text, icons, and bargraphs. These features make the APAD the ideal user interface for controlling audio and other systems throughout the home or office.

The APAD affords easy plug-and-play functionality as part of a complete Adanto or MediaManager MPS system. Without requiring any programming, the APAD enables enhanced control of multi-room audio distribution and multimedia presentation. Of course the APAD is compatible with any Crestron 2-Series control system, allowing fully programmable functionality to support any custom application.

Several mounting options are available for the APAD to facilitate a clean, attractive installation in any wall or similar flat surface.
