Crestron Electronics MC3 3-Series Control System™

The revolutionary MC3 3-Series Control System™  combines ultra-fast processing speeds, more memory, enhanced Ethernet, and breakthrough modular programming capabilities to deliver the first control processor capable of handling the rigors of integrated building technology in today’s commercial facilities.
Designed as an infinitely scalable IP-based control platform, only MC3 provides the processing power that delivers fully-integrated building management in any size commercial facility. MC3 enables organizations to globally monitor, manage and control AV, IT, BMS and environmental systems from one convenient interface. With MC3, all systems in the building including lighting, HVAC/thermostats, digital AV networks, building management systems, and other connected devices (ie. security systems, web/IP cameras, etc.), run independently, yet communicate with each other on the same platform.
Powered by Core 3 OS, MC3 enables real-time multi-tasking, running up to 10 independent control programs simultaneously. Upgrades can now be performed on individual subsystems without “bringing down”  the entire system. Because all other systems remain running when maintenance is needed on one, the result is increased speed, run-time efficiency and system stability. Downtime is virtually eliminated. Built-in infiNET EX® wireless technology enables wireless control signals to be sent hundreds of feet through floors and walls for incredible portability and cleaner installations.

MC3 combines the agility and speed of a computer operating system with the reliability of a network appliance, enabling real-time multitasking to run up to 10 independent control programs simultaneously, and seamlessly communicate with each other on the same platform.
Upgrades can now be performed on any individual subsystem - AV, lighting, climate control, and security systems for example — while allowing the other programs to run smoothly in the background.
Enhanced secure Ethernet and IP control provides reliable interconnectivity with touch screens, computers, mobile devices, media servers, displays, security systems, and other equipment — whether on premises or across the globe.

MC3’s Core 3 OS modular architecture allows upgrades/maintenance to any individual subsystem (ie. AV, lighting, climate control, security systems) while allowing other programs to run seamlessly in the background.
Upgrades/maintenance can be performed remotely via secure IP connectivity, a convenience not previously possible. Because you’re updating one-tenth of the entire system, program files are uploaded in a fraction of the time, making programming lightening fast and much easier, while virtually eliminating downtime.
Built-in infiNET EX® wireless technology enables wireless control signals to be sent hundreds of feet through floors and walls for incredible portability, less wiring, and cleaner installations.

MC3 3-Series Control System™ combines ultra-fast processing speeds, more memory, enhanced Ethernet, and modular programming capabilities to deliver the first control processor capable of handling the rigors of integrated building technology in today’s commercial facilities.
