Core 3 OS
Today's custom home comprises more technology than ever before, and all these
systems need to be networked, managed, and controlled in fundamentally new ways.
The IP based Core 3 platform is engineered from the ground up to deliver a network-
grade server appliance capable of faithfully managing everything from custom home
theater to total home control.
More than a mere AV controller, the MC3 embodies a distinctively robust, dynamic,
and secure platform to elevate your system designs to higher levels of performance
and reliability. Compared to other control systems, the MC3 provides a pronounced
increase in processing power and speed with more memory, rock solid networking
and IP control, and a unique modular programming architecture.
Modular Programming Architecture
Designed for enhanced scalability, the MC3 affords high-speed, real-time multi-
tasking to seamlessly run multiple programs simultaneously. This exclusive
programming architecture lets programmers independently develop and run device
specific programs for AV, lighting, HVAC, security, etc., allowing for the
optimization of each program, and allowing changes to be made to one program
without affecting the whole. Even as your system grows, processing resources can
easily be shifted from one 3-Series processor to another without rewriting any code.
The end benefit is dramatically simplified upgradability with minimal downtime,
whether implementing changes on site or remotely via the network.
Robust Ethernet
IP technology is the heart of Core 3, so it should be no surprise that its networking
abilities are second to none. Whether residing on a sensitive corporate LAN, a home
network, or accessing the Internet through a cable modem, the MC3 provides secure,
reliable connectivity for the complete line of Crestron touch screens and other
products, as well as computers, mobile devices, media servers, video displays,
security systems, and numerous other components throughout the home — and
throughout the world.
