4-Series Control Engine
4-Series control systems come equipped with an upgraded multicore CPU, delivering a sizable
speed and performance increase compared to all Crestron 3-Series® control processors. The
improved performance allows 4-Series control systems to handle the increasing demands of an
advanced automated system. Crestron 4-Series delivers a dynamic and secure control system
platform capable of managing a room full of disparate technologies.
Reliable networking and IP control afford seamless integration with other systems and devices,
with add-on control capability using Crestron touch screens, wireless remotes, and mobile device
apps, as well as remote management through Crestron Fusion® software and the XiOCloud®
service.
Modular Programming Architecture
The RMC4 is designed to run a single program out of the box. The optional modular
programming architecture add-on allows the RMC4 to run up to ten programs simultaneously.
1
Programmers can develop and run independent, device-specific programs, enabling each
program to be optimized for a specific function and allowing for changes to be made to one
program without affecting the whole system.
Onboard Control Ports
Through a full complement of onboard control ports, the RMC4 can be integrated with audio,
video, lighting, motorized shades, thermostats, door locks, sensors, security systems, and other
equipment.
l
Ethernet provides an interface for connecting to the building network and controlling
Crestron AV switchers, audio processors, power controllers, and other IP controllable
equipment.
l
Cresnet® network connectivity provides support for Crestron lighting dimmers, motorized
shades, sensors, thermostats, keypads, and more.

Onboard RS-232, IR/serial, relay, and Versiport I/O control ports enable direct integration
with all types of third-party equipment.
Expanded connectivity can be provided to the RMC4 via Crestron control port expansion
modules, Ethernet to Cresnet bridges, wired Ethernet I/O modules, wireless network I/O
modules, or infiNET EX® network wireless gateways.
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 RMC4 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
