CRESTRON ROOMVIEW INTEGRATES EMERGENCY BROADCASTING

Crestron has made it possible for emergency messages to be broadcast quickly and comprehensively on university and school campuses connected via Crestron control systems.

With RoomView remote help desk and resource management software, critical information can be selectively routed to any device on the network which supports dynamic text, such as SMART boards, projectors, displays and touchpanels. 

Text-based communications about the type of emergency and related instructions, including evacuation routes and other emergency procedures, are issued from the school’s help desk.  Targeted messages can be issued to a single room, group of rooms, or campus-wide with a few simple clicks in RoomView.  Text can be updated as the situation evolves.

“This new RoomView feature is in direct response to our A+ partners who have been dealing with some very serious situations in the field.  Now schools have a simple, fully integrated solution,” said Randy Klein, Crestron Executive Vice President.  “The unique ability of Crestron to connect every room on a single managed network makes it possible to delivery urgent messages and instructions effectively and reliably.”
