This 12 minute Quick Movie gives an overview of the powerful features and components of Crestron's e-Control 2, a broad-based technology that integrates Crestron audio/visual control into Ethernet/IP networks. By using Ethernet in your control applications, you gain the ability to harness the speed and flexibility of the Internet to access, analyze, and diagnose control system functions.

Rather than simply providing remote access, XPanel, using e-Control 2, truly replicates the Crestron touchpanel experience on any PC or PDA. The exact touchpanel GUI is presented on the remote PC, replicating every button-press, including system feedback.

Additionally, Crestron's Power Applications provide a host of sophisticated features that customers can use every day to make presentations, maintain equipment, manage network resources, and more, in easy-to-use touchpanel-based applications. Learn about these and more.

This 20 minute quick course reviews the process and steps involved in designing a lighting control and dimming system. It teaches you how to recognize and promote an opportunity for lighting control and how make design selections based on convenience, cost considerations, and stage of construction. Starting with the electrical drawings and fixture layouts of a conventionally wired lighting system, this course overviews how to systematically redesign it into a dimming control system using both wall box and centralized solutions. In doing so you will eliminate the limitations imposed by the conventional system and at the same time add convenience and operational flexibility to your client's lighting system.

The five chapters of this course are:

• The steps of the design process
• Determining the topology
• Drawings of the layout
• Removing limitations of conventional wiring
• The power of Crestron control
