The Next Generation of Wireless RF Control SmarTouch STS
Sleek Design, New Features, Same Competitive Price

August 19, 1998 - Rockleigh, NJ, USA - Crestron Electronics, Inc. is pleased to announce the next generation of wireless RF control,  the new SmarTouch STS.   With over 10,000 systems in use worldwide, SmarTouch STS is the industry standard for wireless RF control… and it just got better.

The sleek new touchpanel is more than just a pretty face. Beyond the ergonomic design lies a state-of-the-art LCD touchpanel displaying bright, 256-color images. Power for control graphics is unprecedented -  expanded memory accommodates dynamic imported logos and icons.

Exclusive Crestron software provides the most simple and reliable format for touchpanel design and programming available today. Complete systems may be programmed with SmarTouch Wizard - nine easy steps are all it takes for a fully functioning system.

Power for the touchpanels comes from a rechargeable battery pack that provides up to 8 hours of continued use. Recharging has never been easier, just place the panel in Crestron’s exclusive SmarTouch docking station for full recharging power - not just a trickle charge.

"We’ve taken the industry’s most popular wireless RF control system and made it even better," states Randy Klein, Crestron Vice President. "The graphic display, memory and speed of our new ST-1550 panels is second to none. We listened to our dealers and incorporated the features they wanted  and we did it without increasing the price. That makes SmarTouch the smart choice."

More features, more speed, more power and the same competitive price. That’s the new generation of SmarTouch… only from Crestron.
