RoomView® Remote Asset Management

Crestron RoomView® is the first and only real time, multi-user remote asset management software that delivers complete facility-wide network control of lighting resources, HVAC and AV. RoomView works seamlessly with Crestron control systems and touchpanels to manage an entire network of devices and subsystems. RoomView is available in two versions to serve the control and management requirements for every situation.

RoomView allows administrators and support staff to manage AV resources, perform remote system diagnostics, track the usage of projector lamps, log network activity, monitor rooms, and automate tasks through event scheduling. An ideal master controller, RoomView remotely locks out selected rooms to prevent unauthorized use of AV equipment. In fact, RoomView can track any Crestron-based function, including lights, temperature, audio levels, motion detection, and much more. Interactive help desk capabilities allow users to send help requests from their touchpanel or Web browser. Support staff can send text messages back to the touchpanel, alert email contacts, and even launch e-Control®2 to control the room and its AV equipment.

The valuable power of Crestron RoomView (both Express and Server Editions) extends far beyond the general description in this design guide. The Crestron control processor is capable of monitoring and/or controlling devices, in any and all realms of digital, analog or serial control.

RoomView, the industry’s most powerful asset management tool, is second-to-none The abilities of RoomView have been extended beyond the control and management of lighting and AV equipment to incorporate interfacing with other control systems (i.e., security and HVAC). Crestron design teams and regional support team members stand ready to help in the design of applicable RoomView features/attributes/abilities into your projects. Crestron welcomes your questions regarding RoomView…solutions are just a phone call or email away.
