INTRODUCTION
One of the great strengths of the Crestron platform is the ability
to have multiple interfaces using a single system. Crestron has
literally hundreds of interface products but the vast majority of
household AV needs are served by just a few.

There are quite a few variables to consider:

Feedback—when controlling a TV, the TV itself lets you know

the channel it’s on. When controlling a Radio, you may want to
display the channel.

Mounting—TV watching requires a hand-held wireless remote,

audio control in a dining room usually means a wall-mounted
control.

Size—the smaller the control panel, the less information per

page. That means less capability overall or more key-presses to
move from page to page.
