THE CRESTRON TOUCHPANEL INTERFACE
A friendly onscreen menu can be displayed on any Crestron touchpanel within your home. The screens discussed in this section are a typical example of an interface provided by Crestron to its dealers. Since your dealer may have customized screens for you, your screens may differ with respect to presentation, but the general topics covered should apply nonetheless.
What appears on the screen depends on the size of the touchpanel. Larger panels have a larger touch screen area thus a designer can display more information. Therefore, two versions of sample screens are shown below. Those on the left are for large touchpanels (10 inches or more). The screens to the right are for touchpanels less than 10 inches.
The Music Library page, such as the one shown below, provides the convenience of easy browsing and instant access to all the music stored within the Audio Library available on your Audio Server. The Music Library is the first level of browsing; it provides a list of categories (Genres, Artists, Albums, Eras, Years, Playlists, and Tracks).
The following items appear on every level of browsing (except where noted):
•Music browser (categories shown on Music Library page; other pages show
