Crestron CP4N Control System
Building and AV control processor: the box behind the touch panel in a boardroom, a lecture theatre or a venue's front of house. Where a show controller thinks in cues and timecode, this thinks in rooms, sources and schedules.
Protocols it speaks
| Protocol | Direction | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| osc | bidirectional | Through modules. |
| midi | bidirectional | Through modules. |
| bacnet | bidirectional | Building systems integration. |
| snmp | bidirectional | Monitoring. |
| visca-over-ip | out | Camera control. |
What to watch for
Programming it is a specialism with its own toolchain and certification. Budget for the programmer, not just the processor.
It is often the boundary between production systems and the building. Agree who owns that boundary before commissioning.
