2-Series Integrated Dual Bus Control System Crestron AV2 & PRO2
Operation
Crestron 2-Series Control Systems are the brain of a complete integrated audio/visual
or automation solution, serving as the central processor and I/O interface. Every
audio, video and environmental element of the home, boardroom, classroom or
command center becomes integrated and accessible through the control system. No
matter how complex or basic, Crestron control systems are entirely custom-
programmable to attain the exact functionality required.
The AV2 is an economical version of the PRO2, providing all the features and
performance of the PRO2 without the front panel LCD display and pushbuttons. The
AV2 is perfect for medium to large-scale commercial and residential control
applications.
The flagship PRO2 is designed for demanding medium to large-scale commercial
and residential control applications. The PRO2 includes a programmable front panel
with LCD display, four menu selection buttons, six user buttons and port status
LEDs. The PRO2’s front panel serves as a ready user interface for system
configuration and diagnostics and can also be custom programmed to enable menu-
driven end-user control capability. The front panel may be password-protected.
The front panel of the PRO2 incorporates a reverse mode (yellow on black) LCD
screen shown below. The screen contains two lines with up to 40 characters per line;
it is used to extend features and gain access to the system including the SIMPL
program. To the right of the display are four menu selection buttons. These buttons
permit the user to navigate through the menus and also to control the brightness of
the display backlight. Below the display are six menu function buttons. These
buttons offer extended features of the PRO2. For details, refer to the help file in the
“Front Panel Editor” utility of SIMPL Windows.
