For large buildings, Crestron Virtual Control streamlines deployment and maintenance by allowing a single program to be deployed across multiple rooms. 1Ĭrestron Virtual Control supports server redundancy for increased reliability. Cresnet® network devices can be integrated via a DIN‑CENCN‑2-POE bridge, and wireless Crestron devices can also be integrated via an infiNET EX® wireless gateway. Native support for the BACnet communication protocol provides a direct interface to third‑party building management systems over Ethernet, simplifying integration with HVAC, security, and other systems.

Connected devices can be controlled directly via Ethernet, and those that require a serial, IR, or other hardware interface can be integrated via decentralized control ports on a DM NVX® encoder/decoder, DM® transmitter or receiver, CEN‑CI3-1-POE interface, or the CEN-IO wired and wireless series of I/O modules. If these features are desired, Crestron Virtual Control software must be installed in an existing virtualized environment that supports them.Ĭrestron Virtual Control can be integrated with a variety of devices, including audio, video, lighting, motorized shades, thermostats, door locks, sensors, and security systems. If Crestron Virtual Control is installed on a bare-metal server (such as a standalone computer), it cannot leverage these features. NOTE: When running in a virtualized environment, Crestron Virtual Control can leverage the hypervisor's fault tolerance and high-availability features. AV Framework™ software, which is a web‑based management solution that is used to deploy scalable Crestron enterprise room solutions without requiring any programming. Cloud‑based monitoring is also available using the XiO Cloud® service. Crestron Virtual Control also provides native support for. The platform runs programs to control multiple rooms over the network from a single, centralized location.

Crestron® Virtual Control (VC-4) is a server‑based control platform for enterprise applications that can be used in place of hardware‑based Crestron control systems.
