A wall-mounted, PoE powered 3-Series® control system and panel in one. Features a modern appearance with customizable backlit capacitive buttons. Mounts in a 1-gang European electrical box or tabletop enclosure. A 2-gang US wall mounting option is also available.
The 3-Series® Media Presentation Controller 201 (MPC3-201-B) is a wall-mounted, PoE powered 3-Series Control System® and control panel in one. Its modern appearance and customizable backlit capacitive buttons provide an ideal user-interface for controlling AV and other functions. It offers fully-programmable functionality, supports web and cloud-based configuration and management, and integrates with Crestron Fusion® as part of a complete managed enterprise solution.
Crestron® MPC3 series controllers are perfect for classrooms, meeting rooms, lecture halls, and training facilities – wherever a simple yet powerful controller is needed but space is limited. Use the MPC3-201-B to control a video display or AV system, adjust lighting and window shades, or any other custom application.
Customizable Backlit Capacitive Buttons
The MPC3-201-B features six backlit capacitive buttons, which can each be labeled using the icon chips provided, or custom labeled using laser-engravable chips (sold separately). Each button is backlit white when inactive and blue when active to provide clear indication of what media source or lighting scene is currently selected. Four additional buttons are included at the bottom along with a volume gauge for control of volume, mute, and power. A key click sound can be enabled to provide audible assurance when any button is pressed.
3-Series® Control Engine
The MPC3-201-B features an integrated, enterprise-grade 3-Series control processor. Crestron 3-Series delivers a distinctively robust, dynamic, and secure control system platform capable of faithfully managing a room full of disparate technologies. Its Modular Programming Architecture (optional [1]) allows the MPC3-201-B to run multiple programs simultaneously for increased efficiency and flexibility. Rock solid 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, and remote management through Crestron Fusion and XiO Cloud™.
