New Prodigy® Control Systems Enable Unprecedented Expansion Capabilities

New Prodigy Systems Control More than Ever

Prodigy® today announced dramatic additional functionality now available in its home control product line. With more power, speed and memory, PMC3 and PMC3-XP enable new levels of scalability. Multiple systems throughout the house can be interconnected to control more systems and devices than ever before. A dynamic on-screen display (OSD) extends control to the TV, where a custom interface guides homeowners through control of AV, lighting/shades, HVAC and all other connected systems.

"This is the most exciting development since we introduced Prodigy a year ago," said Vincent Bruno, Crestron Director of Marketing. "Now homeowners can start out with simple home audio and wireless lighting control and grow the system to include innovative Crestron technologies including DigitalMedia, PROCISE professional audio processing, V-Panel ultra-high performance touchpanels, Sonnex digital audio transport and the ADMS. The possibilities are truly limitless."

The wireless technology built into the latest Prodigy controllers delivers more stability and scalability than ever before. More than 100 wireless Prodigy devices can be supported with just one gateway. Wireless control signals can travel hundreds of feet through floors and walls for unmatched portability and clean installations. Seamless connectivity with Apple®- and Android™-based mobile devices places remote access and control of a Prodigy home in the palm of your hand, wherever you may be.

The Prodigy line of simple and affordable home control products continues to grow exponentially. The new P-MD6X4 digital video distribution system manages protected HDMI content for flawless multi-room HD video. The new PLX3 handheld remote is beautifully designed, powerful and ergonomic, with a high-resolution color LCD screen and a minimum range of 100 feet indoors. The innovative PTX6 is a 6" wireless touchpanel that delivers both roaming and fixed control. The inconspicuous, low-profile docking station enables quick charging.
