Crestron 🇺🇸

Crestron is a global titan in the AV and automation industry. They do not manufacture the moving laser lights you see at a rock concert; rather, Crestron manufactures the highly complex, invisible central nervous system that permanently controls the lighting, video, and audio of massive corporate headquarters, luxury hotels, and university campuses.

For permanent event spaces (like convention center ballrooms or high-end boardrooms), a Crestron lighting control system is the absolute gold standard. Their infrastructure integrates completely with a building’s IT network, allowing facility managers to control thousands of lighting zones, motorized window shades, and HVAC systems from a single, highly customized touch panel or an iPad.

Crestron’s philosophy is absolute, unbroken reliability. When the CEO walks into the boardroom to give a global keynote, a single button press on a Crestron panel must flawlessly lower the shades, dim the architectural lights to 30%, drop the projector screen, and unmute the microphones with zero latency.
