Extended Range (ER)Technology
Crestron Extended Range (ER) wireless technology supports compatibility with certain Crestron
wireless touch screens and handheld remotes. Crestron ER operates in the same 2.4 GHz
spectrum as infiNET EX and is optimized specifically for use with wireless touch screen devices to
ensure dependable bidirectional RF communications.
IRWireless Options
When equipped with the optional CNXRMIRD IR Receiver, the MC4 affords a low-cost IR wireless
control solution using a universal IR remote.
Crestron Fusion Room Monitoring and Scheduling
Crestron Fusion software provides an integrated platform for creating smart buildings that save
energy and enhance worker productivity. As part of a complete managed network in a corporate
enterprise, college campus, convention center, or any other facility, the MC4 works with Crestron
Fusion to enable remote scheduling, monitoring, and control of rooms and technology from a
central help desk or mobile app. It also enables organizations to reduce energy consumption by
tracking real-time usage and automating control of AV, lighting, shades, and HVAC. For more
information, visit www.crestron.com/fusion.
XiOCloud Provisioning and Management
4-Series control systems leverage the power and flexibility of XiO Cloud services, enabling users
to remotely provision, monitor, and manage Crestron devices across an enterprise network. XiO
Cloud can be used to configure and load programs to the control system before it is received,
making the control system fully functional as soon as it is connected to the network. XiO Cloud is
built on the Microsoft® Azure® software platform and utilizes Microsoft's industry leading Azure
IoT Hub technology. XiO Cloud enables installers and IT managers to deploy and manage
thousands of devices in the time it previously took to manage just one. Unlike other virtual
machine based cloud solutions, Azure services offer unlimited scalability to suit the ever growing
needs of an enterprise. For more information, visit www.crestron.com/xiocloud.
.AVFramework Software
The MC4 provides native support for the .AVFramework™ software program. .AV Framework
software is a web-based management solution that is used to deploy scalable Crestron®
enterprise room solutions without requiring any programming. For more information on the
capabilities supported by .AV Framework, visit www.crestron.com/avframework.
Enhanced Enterprise-Grade Security
The MC4 is an enterprise-class control processor that can be deployed across hundreds of spaces
and set up easily using a web browser, Crestron Toolbox™ software, or XiO Cloud. It employs
standard network security protocols, including 802.1X network access control, Active Directory®
service authentication, SSH, TLS, and HTTPS to ensure reliability and compliance with your
organization’s IT policies.
The MC4 is configured to meet Crestron's enhanced security standards right out of the box. The
MC4 ships with authentication turned on and requires creating an administrator account before
access is granted to device configuration and control interfaces.
