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.
The 3-Series Control System embodies a distinctively robust, dynamic,
and secure platform to elevate the 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-AP3MEX 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 the 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 the 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-AP3MEX 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-AP3MEX
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.
