March 30, 1999-Rockleigh, NJ, USA-Crestron is pleased to announce the release of SmartPresenter- the world’s only low cost, wireless RF control system. SmartPresenter is virtually an out-of-the-box solution for many control applications in both the rental and integrated system markets. Programming is done on site in minutes- no software or PC required.

SmartPresenter offers full PC mouse and keyboard control, as well as control for A/V devices like video projectors and DVD players. Never before has such an economical system provided so much power. The RF wireless communication means no more “line-of-sight” problems experienced with IR systems. SmartPresenter has a 500’ range, even through walls.

“SmartPresenter makes the control system an affordable and convenient option for virtually any room using a PC and A/V devices,” states Crestron Vice President, Randy Klein. “SmartPresenter is a complete system with all the functions of a larger system the only things missing are a high price tag and hours of PC programming. For the system integrators this will be a value-added item, ideally packaged with every LCD projector sold or rented. We are thrilled about the possibilities! Who would have thought any control system could appeal to both the rental and integrated system markets? SmartPresenter will be a staple for both.”
