RoomView Server Edition is the Crestron real-time helpdesk software designed to deliver a complete facility-wide network control of AV resources.This product has been superseded by Fusion RV™.
RoomView Server Edition is the Crestron real-time helpdesk software designed to deliver a complete facility-wide network control of AV resources. RoomView Server Edition integrates seamlessly with the full line of Crestron devices to ensure that every room is connected. With an efficient point and click interface, there's no need to deal with a confusing array of cluttered screens; from any PC on the LAN or WAN, RoomView Server Edition offers a simple "at-a-glance" view of the entire control system network.
RoomView is a multi-user resource management program that allows administrators and support staff to manage AV resources, perform remote system diagnostics, track the usage of projector lamps, log network activity, and automate tasks through event scheduling. An ideal master controller, RoomView remotely locks out selected rooms to prevent unauthorized use of TVs, CD players, and other AV equipment. In fact, RoomView can track any Crestron-based function, including lights, audio levels, motion detection, temperature, and more. Interactive help desk capabilities allow users to send help requests from their touchpanel. Support staff can send instant text messages back to the touchpanel, alert e-mail contacts, and even launch e-Control®2 to control the room and its AV equipment.
RoomView Server Edition allows facility managers, media directors, and IT specialists unmatched real-time control and cross-platform accessibility. With several management and technical support functions streamlined, administrators can work more efficiently, reducing the support response time.
Manage and control every room from any PC and schedule rooms from any touchpanel. With RoomView Server Edition, every room is connected.
For a ready to use server running RoomView Server Edition, see the CEN-RVS-R310 product page.
