Crestron RL™ is a comprehensive group collaboration solution that combines Crestron® hardware with Microsoft® Lync® software. The Crestron RL solution is based on Microsoft Lync 2013, a popular and powerful server-based application that many companies already use on a daily basis. This full-featured, unified communication system enables video, voice, interactive content sharing, presence, and chat from one touch screen interface.
Simple to Use
With just one touch of a button, anyone can walk into a conference room and instantly start a collaboration session. Share your desktop with local and remote participants, view and annotate over PowerPoint®, and use the interactive whiteboard to sketch out ideas. Remote participants can join via Lync on their desktop, and adding attendees on the fly in the conference room is just as simple and fast as typing in their name. Crestron RL lets you share ideas and notes collaboratively with remote colleagues and clients — anytime, anywhere, with any device.
Easy to Purchase
Crestron RL is a complete packaged solution including the codec, 65" HD touch screen display(s), 10" tabletop touch screen, HD camera and microphone, sound bar, wall mount kit(s), and all necessary cables and accessories for a complete, functional system. No additional infrastructure expenses such as MCUs or gateways are needed. No system design or configuration is necessary, and no programming or training is required.
Scalable Solution
Because Crestron RL integrates with the complete line of Crestron automation solutions, clients can add local control of the conference room AV, lighting, shades, and HVAC equipment - all from the tabletop touch screen.[1] They can also monitor, manage, control, and schedule conference rooms across the enterprise using the Crestron Fusion® enterprise management suite.[2]
Complete System Packages
Three Crestron RL system packages are offered. The dual display package (CCS-UC-100-2 KIT) is perfect for medium to large conference rooms, and includes two high-definition 65" touch screen displays. The single display package (CCS-UC-100-1 KIT) includes a single 65" touch screen display and is ideally suited for small to medium sized conference rooms, executive offices, and huddle rooms. A “no display” package (CCS-UC-100-0 KIT) is also offered, allowing select third-party touch screen displays to be substituted for the standard 65" models (see "Third-Party Accessories" below).
Included Components
