 AV and IT have converged; we now live in a digital world. The days of analog audio and video distribution are coming to an end. Digital high-definition content is two-way communication and control, not simply one-way signal routing.
Crestron has been developing solutions for the past five years to integrate, process and manage HDMI, including HDCP and EDID. This year we’re introducing several new networking and HD solutions for the home.
The one new product you must see is the TPS-6X. Built for speed, style and exceptional versatility, the TPS-6X consolidates the attributes of nine other models into this one extraordinary solution, streamlining the Crestron family of touchpanels.
We introduced the TPS-6X at InfoComm and it's already one of the most successful product launches in Crestron history. The TPS-6X has generated buzz throughout the industry and we've already taken thousands of orders worldwide.
Don't miss this exciting opportunity to get a first glance at the latest trends and technologies that will set the future standard for our industry.
 Sound Room One (SR-1) has been transformed into a live Adagio® Home Theater Experience. Relax in stadium-style seating, while learning about the latest in the award-winning line of Adagio products. Showcasing the Adagio Media System with Advanced Image Processing (AMS-AIP), Crestron welcomes visitors to enjoy the ultimate Adagio experience. The AMS-AIP combines state-of-the-art 7.1 surround sound digital home theater, integrated distributed multi-zone audio, and Crestron home automation.
 Following last year's resounding success, the System Programming and GUI Design Gallery is coming back to CEDIA, September 4-7 in Denver, Colorado. This innovative demo provides a unique opportunity for CAIP members to showcase their work. The GUI Gallery has become a very popular and much anticipated event, so be sure to register early.
In addition to the TPS-15L wall mount touchpanel, every CAIP will have the opportunity to design and program the hottest new touchpanel in the industry - the TPS-6X.
The gallery will be located at the main entrance of the convention center near registration. This exciting addition to CEDIA is proudly sponsored by Crestron.
