Crestron OnCue perfect For Classroom AV System Control

Grant's Perspective on ... user-friendly and cost-effective AV system control for K-12 classrooms.

Crestron has released the OnCue BPC-8AV system controller that is designed with the K-12 classroom in mind. The OnCue is user-friendly and cost-effective which is key in today's classroom.



The Crestron product web page sums up the features nicely so I have copied and pasted below:

  • Ultra-affordable control for a single display device
  • Also allows control of source components and other devices
  • Compact design mounts in a single-gang wall box
  • Affords an attractive and professional appearance
  • Features large backlit buttons for easy control in any room
  • Affords super-intuitive operation for any user
  • Includes interchangeable button caps for flexible configuration
  • Allows customizable LED button feedback behavior
  • Supports up to 3 IR and 1 RS-232 devices
  • Includes built-in IR library for simple out-of-the-box setup
  • Allows advanced configuration via easy-to-use software and IR learner/programmer
  • Macros enable sophisticated functionality from a single button press
  • Enables user passcode protection and automatic projector shutdown

Contact us for more information on the OnCue system or any other AV system control questions you may have. 

 I wish everyone the best of the Holiday Season and look forward to what new technology 2012 will bring.

3D Product Launch

Grant's Perspective on ... 3D projection at the Hyundai Accent product launch.

Effective 3D projection can sure be entertaining. While I've posted on  research about 3D educational content it is also entertaining. I like the Hyundai Accent product launch. They have 3D images projected on the side of a building and also have the car on the side of the building. The YouTube video looks cool and would have been spectacular to see in person.





Here is another product launch on the side of a building by Nokia.
