Extron Control vs Crestron Device Assistant

Extron Control is an easy-to-use AV control system app that gives users complete access to Extron control systems directly from Apple iOS devices. After a quick initial setup, your device connects to the desired room, allowing a seamless, highly-responsive control experience. The app automatically loads the user interfaces present on any Extron control product without a lengthy setup and customization process. The familiar interfaces emulate the TouchLink® touchpanel, eBUS® button panel, Network Button Panel, or MediaLink® controller in your room, and all button presses are kept in sync between the app and your Extron control devices. Other powerful features include the ability to quickly add rooms and switch between rooms, and auto-reconnect which recalls the previous session even after the app is closed. Technicians will appreciate this new app as it supplements the control of any room and provides easy access for troubleshooting. Extron is offering education institutions special pricing on the Control App through the Apple Volume Pricing Program.
