The new Adagio line of multi room audio and control products from Crestron feature
internal power amps and full front panel programmability (no laptop required except for
advanced programming). XM satellite and AM/FM tuning are available on plug in cards on
the unit pictured above. The model below this one has XM Satellite and an AM/FM tuner
built-in. Both Adagio control receivers have full Crestron 2-series processors built in. Above
the electronics is Crestron's new full color, touch screen control. This slick piece has a
higher resolution screen than the currently available CT-1000, which receives an upgrade.
The CT-1000 is now the CT-1000+ and has a brighter, clearer screen.
The new LCD Display keypad has full 2-way feedback for display of music server and XM
tuner information. Sources are controlled and selected by the jog shuttle wheel. Above the
Adagio stack is Crestron's new small touch screen control. The unit resembles an iPOD,
which Crestron debuted a docking station and very slick touch panel interface for.
Crestron also debuted their new hard disc music server. The Crestron server will be
available in 1, 2, or 4 line level output configuration. It sits on the home's LAN and is
automatically recognized by the Crestron processor when connected.
Other Crestron highlights were new programming software, scripting software and lighting
control using wireless mesh network communication. The wireless mesh network used by
Crestron is dubbed infiNET. It is very similar to ZigBee but uses 16 channels to
communicate. Feedback and control was lightning fast in Crestron's demo.
