Crestron control system with non Crestron MTR #crestron


 

Is it possible to use a Crestron control system with a non Crestron MTR? Like Logi Tap or the like?


 

What's an MTR??


 

Microsoft Teams Room. The -T Flex models for Crestron¡¯s specific units.?

It won't have any integration with the unit, but you can definitely have it in a Crestron control system but you would need another panel / UI to run the teams interface. The Crestron Flex systems have specific crestron software running on them that allows them to "integrate" with the control system and crestron panels. That software isn't installed on any other manufacturer systems.


 

I have heard different opinions on the practicality, but I prefer to actually have two panels, one Crestron, one MTR.? The person holding the meeting can drive the call like they are used to, and an assistant, or the IT person, or other support person can drive the room.? My opinion is this provides a nice separation of work, and lets the executive focus on their meeting, and the trained personnel can likewise drive the room safely.

That comes the rub, at least in my experience fewer and fewer meetings are staffed by the "trained person" -- the notable exceptions being "all hands" type meetings -- and in those the executive likely isn't the one driving the teams/zoom meeting either. Providing the custom functionality as a duplicate XPanel can be useful for those "remote assist" type moments and of course this doesn't answer the "can you" question... Which AFAIK is "yes but only if you do everything through automation (e.g. sync detection) or use two different UIs...at which point the Crestron packaged solution starts to look less appealing compared to some of the more mainstream MTR offerings
