The Prodigy PMC2 is a powerful yet cost-effective control processor, designed by Crestron to provide a very easy solution for controlling a complete home theater media system, and enabling sophisticated home automation capabilities. Watch movies, listen to music, adjust lights and thermostats, the PMC2 integrates all of the controls and equipment together, providing intuitive features while making it all easier to use and enjoy every day.

Control at Home or Away
Crestron pioneered the world's first Ethernet control system, and Prodigy takes full advantage of that expertise to deliver remote control, monitoring, and programming over the home LAN, the Internet-even a cellular phone network!

From any Web browser, or using the Apple® iPhoneTM or iPod touch, Prodigy lets you turn off the kitchen lights from your office desktop, check the security system or temperature from your favorite café, and receive an email alert when the kids get home from school

Quick Install
Whole-house automation can be easily enabled without having to run new control wire.

• With the simple connection of a Prodigy Wireless Gateway, the PMC2 can support numerous remotes, dimmers, switches, thermostats and Ethernet touchpanels
• Other home automation features such as interfacing to a security system can be managed right through the home LAN

Fast Setup + Programming
Setting up a Prodigy system is incredibly fast and easy using Prodigy Composer software.

• Without special knowledge, a fully functioning home theater with whole-house lighting and climate control can be configured in mere minutes
• Prodigy third-party device drivers are impeccably written and tested to ensure a refined and problem-free user experience without any tweaking
• Prodigy Composer makes it easy to customize functionality and personalize touchpanels through its intuitive drag-and-drop programming

Beyond the Universal Remote
The PLX2 Prodigy Handheld Remote (included) provides a stylish device for controlling the entire home theater and automation system. The PLX2 delivers a far richer user experience than any ordinary "universal" remote.

• Dynamic menus and scrolling lists of channels, media titles, radio stations, source selection, room lighting and temperature appear right on the remote
• Up to six PLX2s can be used with the PMC2 at distances up to 100 feet away, even through walls

The Elegant Touch Made Affordable
The Prodigy touchpanel can also be added to a PMC2 system, providing the ultimate in customizable touchscreen control for the home theater and the entire house at a remarkably affordable cost.

• Up to six PTL4 Prodigy wall mount touchpanels may be connected to the LAN, providing complete control over lighting, security, audio, temperature and other functions, all through a single compact device that fits in the space of a light switch

A Control Solution for Every Budget
Now the innovation, flexibility and reliability of Crestron automation is available in an entry level package.

• Replace a table full of remotes with one integrated package
• Start off simple and add on as needed with minimal programming
• Control lights, temperature, media and more

• Supports touchpanels, remotes, keypads, thermostats, dimmers and switches
• Supports Web based control from PCs, laptops and mobile devices

Notes:
