Virtual Touchpanel for Mac®

Transform any computer into a virtual Crestron® touchpanel—including the iMac® and MacBook®.

Transform any computer into a virtual Crestron® touchpanel—including the iMac® and MacBook®. Take control of your Crestron system from any Mac® around the home, office, classroom, or world. Effortlessly bring touchpanels to the desktop of Mac OS® X with native Crestron support. Augment existing systems to add more control in more places, or use any sleek Mac as a main control interface, making a complete control solution extremely affordable. There's no need for Windows® software emulators or advanced programming. Simply click on XPanel for Mac® for a complete Crestron experience right on your Mac.

XPanel for Mac is a software application which runs on the Mac and connects to any Crestron 2-Series control system or Prodigy Central Controller. Through a secure Ethernet connection, XPanel for Mac sends and receives data to and from the control system based on user commands. A customized XPanel for Mac data file resides on the control system (like a web page). This translates into an experience as simple as using a touchpanel.

Transform existing touchpanel layouts for iPhone® or iPod touch® into XPanel for Mac and provide the same look, feel, & functionality on the desktop that is on the handheld device.
