Join us -  September 20-21, 2022, Orlando, FL, for a two day, in person event, dedicated to emerging trends and successful strategies for meeting the needs of today’s hybrid workplace. 

Located in New England, this private residence is a unique and quiet home perched on a river. It’s a modern home filled with eclectic artwork and high-spirited traditions, and as loyal Ohio State fans, the homeowners even incorporated the unique sounds of an OSU “victory bell” in the home.

Most integrators are intimately familiar with the technological solutions needed to create a quality esports facility. These venues, after all, lean heavily on systems that are just like those installed in a broad variety of commercial and university applications. But who’s actually playing these games?

Crestron does more than supply all the tools a business or university needs for hybrid training — in fact, we utilize those very tools to bring our dealers the best practices in designing, configuring, installing, and programming Crestron solutions. Through the Crestron Technical Institute (CTI), we’re able to deliver self-paced learning, interactive online training, and hands-on courses, all taught by our global team of Crestron instructors. These educators have decades of experience, and many of them designed and built the very products you’re learning about.

Crestron is always striving to make residential technology as elegant as it is functional, marrying top-tier electronics with best-in-class aesthetics. To achieve that, Crestron carefully chooses industry partners — and an excellent example of that kind of collaboration is our work with Black Nova. For the last three years, Crestron and Black Nova have worked in concert to create a beautiful line of keypads with an ever-expanding range of options. We recently caught up with Black Nova to talk about the importance of beautiful design, their partnership with Crestron, and the products we’ve developed together.

Meetings common to the hybrid work environment — with remote workers joining in-person staffers seated around a table via video links — often feel unnatural, awkward, and fatiguing. One reason? The camera angles (and other elements) of these video presentations don’t adhere to the basic concepts found in filmmaking — they tend to “break” visual rules that we’re accustomed to. Here’s a quick overview of that video language — and how to implement it properly using the AI-driven solution from Crestron called Sightline.
