Crestron Introduces New Cameo® Keypad Controllers

New Crestron Cameo Keypads Offer New Features and Finishes

Crestron introduces its new Cameo® keypads, featuring exceptionally responsive user control and a dynamic new design. The new Cameo design features new finishes, rounded buttons with enhanced tactile action, and auto-dimmable backlit engraving that looks amazing in any lighting condition. Custom configurable button caps are provided in three sizes, enabling the choice of two to six individual buttons per keypad. Cameo keypads combine powerful control and modern elegance.

Simple yet flexible, each keypad is furnished with an assortment of engravable button caps in three different sizes to support a variety of physical layouts. Their smoothly rounded shape and refined pushbutton action give each button press a positive feel with subtle surface relief for an excellent tactile response. Each button can be configured to support up to three separate functions simply by tapping, double-tapping, or holding the button.

New high-quality backlit laser-engraving provides customizable button text that's easy to read under any lighting condition. A built-in light sensor controls the backlight intensity automatically to achieve a crisp, legible appearance in both darkened and fully lit rooms.

The LED feed in the new Cameo can even function as a 'bar graph' so that the keypad displays a momentary six segment bar graph display indicating lighting levels and audio settings. The LEDs can also generate nine different blink patterns that make programming easier and minimize network traffic.

In addition to wired Cresnet®, new Cameo keypads are also available in an infiNET™ wireless version, eliminating the need for a dedicated control wire to each keypad. The infiNET™ version mounts in a standard electrical box and is powered from any 120 Volt circuit, making it perfect for installation alongside ordinary light switches or Crestron infiNET wall box dimmers.

The Cameo is now available in new smooth and textured finishes color-matched with popular off-the-shelf decorator style faceplates. The "smooth" finishes include Light Almond, Black, and White faceplates. The "textured" finishes are Crestron's traditional almond, black, and white.
