Crestron and Casio

[robjduk]

Does anyone know how to setup crestron control in any shape or form? We have Casio projectors which we love but would love to centrally control the things (mass power down, emergency messages etc...) and as far as I can see you can achieve this if only you have the fabled Crestron controller setup but how and where you obtain eludes me.

 

Because I bought 70 projectors I had a call from Casio asking what I would like included in future models and they seem almost knocked back when I said integrated Chromecast or AirPlay as their response was (as you guess) why not use Crestron?

 

Been meaning to ask this for years but just stumbled upon the Crestron page on Casio and thought now the time to ask.

 

Anyone know?

Thanks

Not an expert in Crestron, but their programming seems to be very complicated, plus I feel you need a controller per projector...

 

We have Extron controllers that offer remote management solutions, the courses can be done online (ECS is £55) but again you need a controller per projector. This is fine for us as we don't have remote controls but rather full on AV suites with projectors, switchers, amps etc, with budgets to suit. I guess £500 a room for a simple control panel might be a bit pricey?

just a smidge high for us

 

Thanks for the response. In my mind it was a bit of software you just tell the IP addresses to and it does the rest Glad I know now and can stop wondering about it.
