You’ll see a theme when you visit the Crestron booth at the InfoComm® 2025 trade show  — three, in fact. We’ve been focusing on the core areas that our solutions enable: content, collaboration, and control. Those three categories encompass the hardware and software solutions we’re known for:

• Content is vital. Delivering information to a single colleague or an entire organization demands robust solutions. The right technology can unlock intuitive and immediate access to sharing (or creating) content — from a simple spreadsheet to an elaborate multimedia presentation — regardless of location or device, with high quality and low latency.
• Collaboration, simply put, means engaging with people anywhere in the world and leveraging technology to create the most natural experiences possible. For example, ensuring that every attendee in a hybrid meeting, in-person and remote, can see and be seen and hear and be heard.
• Control is about creating seamless operational functions: When a meeting leader walks into a space, they shouldn’t worry about the tech that will drive that meeting, from lighting to climate to AV. Intuitive interfaces simplify complex systems — sometimes with one touch or even no touch at all in a completely automated space.

You’ll see a broad range of solutions across all three categories, including our latest offerings: the DM NVX® 384 AV-over-IP Multiview, the Midspan Power Solution for USB-C connectivity, and our line of 4-Series® Media Presentation Controllers.

DM NVX 384 Multiview

In October 2024, we rolled out the new DM NVX® 384 encoder/decoder, a feature-packed addition to our line of solutions that represented the next generation of AV-over-IP technology. Now we’ve added multiview functionality to that device, which allows you to distribute content from multiple sources and view each image on a single display in a variety of fixed compositions.

“There was a court in California that specifically asked for this feature,” says Kevin Dry, group product manager of AV solutions at Crestron. There’s a long list of other applications for this technology: command and control centers, courtrooms, sports bars, casinos and sportsbooks, retail, and even educational and enterprise deployments.

Multiview allows the configuration of up to six sources in fixed layouts and the flexibility and scalability of 16 compositions. The DM NVX 384 decoder dynamically composes these sources into the preset layouts, which can be instantly recalled to suit the application’s needs. Having every content feed packaged in a single device simplifies the system while reducing failure points without adding any latency. The solution allows for easy, intuitive audio control and routing and offers custom text overlays and borders for content identification. While multiview’s a feature specific to the DM NVX 384, the primary stream can be decoded by any DM NVX 4K AV-over-IP receiver.

There’s another plus, says Dry: “The majority of switches and systems out there are a one-gig network, and that’s all you need for the DM NVX 384 Multiview. You don't have to buy new products and switches to get this to work. You can use your existing DM NVX AV-over-IP infrastructure.”

4-Series Media Presentation Controllers

In the control segment of our new offerings at InfoComm 2025, Crestron will showcase the latest additions to our Control User Interface product line, the new 4-Series Media Presentation Controllers. These new keypads and button panels are perfect for spaces that require a few touches to control their learning and meeting room environments for AV, lighting and shading, climate, and more.

The new keypads and button panels include the MPC4-102, MPC4-201, and MPB4-201, each of which offer the following features:

• Capability for wall-mounting in US 1-gang and EU 1-gang form factors
• PoE power for easy deployment
• XiO Cloud® platform program connector support
• Modernized security stack
• A web UI for simple setup and remote control

All three devices will soon feature remote control via the Crestron XiO Cloud® technology operations management platform.
