2-Series Professional Media Controller Crestron MC2E “Send Program” Window
The MC2E provides a built-in Web server for e-Control applications. The MC2E
allots 2.5 MB of memory for “user files” such as Web pages, mailbox, and the
compiled SPZ program file.
VisionTools Pro-e
In most cases, you create a VisionTools Pro-e browser project to generate the Web
pages for uploading to the MC2E.
For e-Control projects:
• When an e-Control browser project is created, VT Pro-e automatically
creates a folder with the name of the project and a .web extension. This web
project folder itself contains a Java subfolder, in addition to all the HTML
files that are sent to the MC2E. In VT Pro-e, the target type is BROWSER.
For e-Control 2 projects:
• When an e-Control 2 project is created, VT Pro-e automatically creates a
folder with the name of the project and a .xweb extension. The web project
folder contains all the necessary e-Control 2 files. In VT Pro-e, the target
type is XPANEL.
In designing and creating a browser project, keep in mind that you must assign an IP
ID to all the project pages and specify the IP address of the MC2E. (For further
information on this procedure, refer to the VT Pro-e online help file.)

select a default page, and then browse to the appropriate VT Pro-e .web project
folder. Select the file that was designated as the “first” page of the project. This will
be the default Web page that is displayed whenever the IP address of the control
