In (and Beyond) the Crestron Booth at InfoComm 2026
New products, dealer awards, and a spectacular case study — the Spotify Camp Nou stadium update in Barcelona — made this year’s exhibit something special
June 19
In (and Beyond) the Crestron Booth at InfoComm 2026

Crestron’s booth at the InfoComm® 2026 trade show continued the themes central to our January keynote event, “Engineering a Culture of Collaboration.” That event, which previewed a suite of solutions we rolled out at ISE® 2026 Expo, reinforced a philosophy that’s been driving Crestron innovations for decades: Creating frictionless technology for working and learning.

As we noted at the time:

“What this is about, ultimately, is what sets us apart: Thoughtful design at the outset, not taking existing solutions and trying to adapt them in ways that meet the challenge,” says Crestron’s EVP of Customer Success and Marketing Brad Hintze. “When you engineer solutions for a specific challenge from jump, you wind up creating spaces that people find worth returning to — it’s what we sometimes call ‘making the commute worth it.’

“Effective hybrid solutions deliver experiences in which the technology fades away,” he adds. “It just works — and you don’t notice it.”

At this year’s InfoComm trade show, Crestron presented that concept at work in the real world. Central to the booth was a multi-media presentation of our work on the expansive update of Spotify Camp Nou, the home of the legendary La Liga football club FC Barcelona. That stadium is currently undergoing a multi-year transformation from a venue mainly used on 22 seasonal match days to a building that can host a wide variety of events 365 days a year.

New Releases

That display in the center of the booth was surrounded by Crestron’s newest content, collaboration, and control solutions. Those exhibits afforded hands-on interaction with Crestron’s Collab Compute, 1 Beyond i12D Cameras, the DM NAX® Intelligent Audio processing platform (including the new Mic and Speaker Pods), and a look at Automate VX 6.5 firmware update with AutoMeasure, among others. While those aforementioned solutions were on display at ISE, some new products were rolled out for InfoComm, including:

A new 15-inch 80 Series Touch Screen

The latest addition to our 80 Series line of touch screens, the TSW-1580. This 15-inch wall-mount touch screen — the largest display in the 80 Series family — was built for UC and room control in education, government, courtroom, and enterprise environments. The larger size makes it perfect for environments with a wide variety of users, as its high-resolution display makes every control obvious at a glance. (More pixels are a big plus for the kinds of complex workflows you’ll find in education deployments, for example.) This larger-format touch screen deploys cleanly and scales across every room on campus or campus-equivalent enterprise environments. Like its smaller counterparts, it serves as the interface to Crestron Control — PoE-powered, MDEP-based, and managed through the XiO Cloud® technology operations management platform.

New MPC4 Tactile Keypads and Button Panels:

Crestron is also launching the latest additions to the MPC4 series of tactile keypads and button panels, further simplifying control for meeting and learning spaces. The MPC4 and MPB4 series place control exactly where it needs to be, in a manner that’s tactile and immediate. Since these devices feature click-action buttons and a rotary volume dial that anyone can operate without looking means no hesitation, no learning curve, and no fumbling for the right input. The MPC4-302 and MPC4-301 go one step further, combining keypad and control processing in a single wall-mounted device, with fewer components and a cleaner install. And because every unit shares the same platform and management through the XiO Cloud platform, the experience stays consistent from room to room.

New DM Essentials USB-C Extenders:

We’ve also added a family of USB extenders to our DM® Essentials endpoints portfolio. Our USB‑EXT‑3S products deliver new USB solutions for modern meeting and learning spaces. These point‑to‑point USB extenders are vital in spaces where a standard cable simply isn’t long enough. The line features USB-C® connectivity ports on both the local and remote models with full support for all USB types, including isochronous traffic for proper video transport, as well as meeting the needs of today’s peripherals. A smaller form factor, lower price point, and clean installation make these devices a cost‑effective, repeatable building block for nearly any enterprise or educational deployment.

Awards and More

Another highlight of this year’s trip to InfoComm in Las Vegas was a celebration honoring our Crestron Commercial Dealers of the Year. The 2026 edition of the awards honored nine of our trusted dealer partners in three categories:

Top Growth Dealers

True Blue Dealers of the Year

Global True Blue Partner of the Year

Beyond the Booth

Another highlight for the Crestron team was our participation in a Spotlight Stage Session titled “Great Stadiums Aren’t Built for (Just) Sports.” Inspired by our involvement in the Spotify Camp Nou project mentioned above, this roundtable was hosted by Brad Hintze, Crestron’s EVP of customer success and marketing. Hintze dug into the concepts found in Barcelona, namely, how similar sports venues are broadening their use from game days to multi-purpose, year-round facilities. He was joined by Nick Hock, director of installations and integration with Image Engineering (the firm that partnered with Crestron for technology integration for the New York Giants), and Josh Barney, CEO of SEAT (Sports and Entertainment Alliance in Technology), whose background includes a 12-year stint with the Utah Jazz that included the tech-heavy renovation of the Delta Center in Salt Lake City. Watch this space for a link to that Spotlight Session — coming soon.

Finally, as we noted the last time Las Vegas played host to InfoComm, there are concrete, real-world examples of Crestron technology in action that visitors can find as soon as they step outside the convention center. One of the most stunning deployments: The Stadium Swim at Circa Hotel and Casino, which may be one of the largest examples of what can be accomplished with Crestron DM NVX® AV-over-IP technology. The casino’s outdoor sportsbook features multiple pools with massive displays for sports betting, coupled with fantastic views of Vegas. The Circa is just one of many entertainment venues across Las Vegas that rely heavily on Crestron technology. In fact, Crestron powers two-thirds of the major hotel and casino properties along the Las Vegas Strip with hospitality solutions.

Crestron’s booth at InfoComm — and our continued focus on presenting experiences instead of simply showcasing individual devices — is an illustration of something larger. “We show our dealers what we can accomplish — and they respond with what they’d like to see next,” says Crestron’s Senior Director of Product Marketing, Joel Mulpeter. “Those conversations help inform the next generation of hardware and software solutions.” It’s that feedback loop that’s a critical part of something we call “True Blue,” summed up here by a member of our sales team, Dan H.:

"To me, True Blue is a consistent approach to listening to customers who leverage technology to be more productive and efficient in their work or school day. It is evident, even to someone like me who has been at Crestron for a few years, that this has been the mindset since the beginning, 50-plus years ago. Crestron’s innovative experience over these many years gives customers a level of confidence that they cannot get from other technology companies in our industry."
