3-Series Control Systems
Today's commercial buildings and custom homes comprise more
technology than ever before, and all these systems need to be networked,
managed, and controlled in fundamentally new ways. The IP based
3-Series platform is engineered from the ground up to deliver a network-
grade server appliance capable of faithfully handling everything from
lighting and AV system control to total building management.
Crestron 3-Series embodies a distinctively robust, dynamic, and secure
platform to elevate system designs to higher levels of performance and
reliability. Compared to other control systems, Crestron 3-Series provides
a pronounced increase in processing power and speed with more
memory, rock solid networking and IP control, and a unique modular
programming architecture.
Modular Programming Architecture
Designed for enhanced scalability, the DIN-AP3 affords high-speed, real-
time multitasking to seamlessly run multiple programs simultaneously.
This exclusive programming architecture lets programmers
independently develop and run device-specific programs for lighting,
shades, HVAC, security, AV, etc., allowing for the optimization of each
program, and allowing changes to be made to one program without
affecting the whole. Even as a system grows, processing resources can
easily be shifted from one 3-Series processor to another without rewriting
any code. The end benefit is dramatically simplified upgradability with
minimal downtime, whether implementing changes on site or remotely
via the network.
Robust Ethernet and IP Control
IP technology is the heart of 3-Series, so it should be no surprise that its
networking abilities are second to none. High-speed Ethernet
connectivity enables integration with IP-controllable devices and allows
the DIN-AP3 to be part of a larger managed control network. Whether
residing on a sensitive corporate LAN, a home network, or accessing the
Internet through a cable modem, the DIN-AP3 provides secure, reliable
interconnectivity with IP-enabled touch screens, computers, mobile
devices, video displays, media servers, security systems, lighting, HVAC,
and other equipment—whether on premises or across the globe.
