Enhance Productivity with a Crestron Control System
Creating a Successful Video Conferencing Solution
When you tell your team members you’re scheduling a video conference, you might recognize the look that flashes across their features before they smile and say, “Looking forward to it.” If the common pain points inherent in these meetings haven’t been addressed, you may see a slight grimace before they gain control of their emotions. There’s nothing worse than wasting time in a video conference session gone bad.
Fortunately, today’s technology solves many of the once-common challenges. One of the leading solutions that sets the standard for smart video conferencing is the Crestron Control System. Here, we’ll cover the common challenges and the technology that ensures your staff looks forward to these now productive meetings.

The Purpose and the Problems with Video Conferencing
Video conferencing is designed to facilitate communications between remote and in-person participants. It requires high-quality audio and video, reliable connectivity, effortless collaboration, and streamlined integration.
Unfortunately, some of the common pain points found in these conference sessions directly oppose the requirements. Four of the most common complaints are low-quality video, delayed video, audio reverberation, and struggles to connect.
The goal is to create an environment where all participants feel engaged and present, almost as if they were in the same room. Any of these issues will significantly affect that outcome.
The AV Solutions
Using high-quality 4K UHD displays, smart cameras that track and frame the speaker, beamforming microphones, and in-ceiling speakers, you achieve an inclusive environment where everyone can participate instead of feeling like an observer. They can see who’s talking and hear every word.
A User-Friendly Platform
One of the greatest challenges is starting a meeting on time. Someone must close the shades, get the lighting right, and connect to off-site attendees. Then, people take turns plugging in their laptops to provide their part of the presentation.
With Crestron, one button on a user-friendly platform prepares the room and connects everyone to the meeting. All participants can present their information from their seats via Crestron AirMedia wireless presentation technology. Their state-of-the-art control system integrates with popular video collaboration solutions, including Zoom and Microsoft Teams.
Standardized for Enhanced Productivity
As Henry Ford said, “If you think of standardization as the best that you know today, but which is to be improved tomorrow; you get somewhere.” It’s not the standardized rigidity that leads to stagnation but the defined processes that enhance operations, reduce operational costs, and ensure compatibility.
In video conferencing, it translates to every conference room having the same setup, creating a consistent process that ensures your employees know precisely how to use the system. Meetings start on time, progress more efficiently, and provide meeting equity no matter the person’s location.
The Result
With the correct setup, your team stays connected, regardless of location. When staff walks into the room, occupancy sensors activate the Crestron Control System. Environmental controls, shades, and lighting are automated—programmed based on the type of meeting and optimal room comfort. The meeting begins, the remote participants join, and content is easily shared.
