Crestron CP3 3-Series Control System

Boasting numerous breakthrough advancements in home control and automation processing, Crestron’s CP3 3-Series® Control System is the epitome of technical innovation. Powered by Core 3 OS®, CP3 provides a powerful platform that simplifies the design, integration, and control of AV, lighting control, HVAC, energy management, and all other connected systems in today’s modern home. Backed by three years of research and development by Crestron engineers, CP3 features faster processing speeds, more memory, high-efficiency multi-tasking capabilities, external storage options, built-in BACnet support, and enhanced IP security. The result is exponential increases in control system performance and advanced yet simplified programming processes that make whole home systems easier to design, commission, customize, and upgrade. At a budget-friendly price CP3 is exceptionally versatile, making it an essential foundation for advanced home control applications.

Compact and rack mountable, CP3 performs like a computer operating system enabling real-time multi-tasking to flawlessly run up to 10 independent programs simultaneously. IT-like programming architecture enables integrators to perform system maintenance and expansion in ways not previously possible. Upgrades can be performed on any individual subsystem - such as AV, lighting control, HVAC, security systems and climate control - without affecting the entire system. Since each control program is independent, a restart of one program has no effect on the others. No other control system can, or has, made such a claim. The reasons are obvious. The result is improved system architecture and virtually no downtime.

All updates can be done remotely via IP with secure Ethernet connectivity ensuring total network security. Easy connection to CP3 via iPhone™, iPad™, Android™ mobile devices, and computers gives users reliable mobile control of their home from anywhere in the world. Built-in Core 3 UI® XPanel technology gives homeowners virtual touch screen control through any popular Web browser running on any Mac or PC.

Features

CP3 performs like a computer operating system, enabling real-time multi-tasking to flawlessly run up to 10 independent programs simultaneously. IT-like Core 3 OS programming architecture enables integrators to perform system maintenance and expansion in ways, and at speeds, not previously possible. For the first time, upgrades can be performed on any individual subsystem - such as AV, lighting control, HVAC, security systems and climate control - without affecting the entire system. Since each control program is independent, a restart of one program has no effect on the others. No other control system can claim this advanced feature. The result is improved, streamlined system architecture with virtually no downtime.

At up to 10 times faster than Crestron 2-Series processors and twice as fast as the first generation 3-Series MC3 (which was, until now, the fastest home control processor on the market), CP3 takes integrated home technology to a powerful new level of control functionality. With 512MB RAM and 4GB Flash memory onboard, in addition to expandable storage of up to 1TB, CP3 is engineered for the highest performance and unlimited scalability in the most demanding home automation applications. The USB 2.0 port and MMC memory card slot lets you add plenty of external storage on the fly using low cost SD cards and USB drives.

All this high power system output does not mean the CP3 is a power hog, like other control processors. Designed to save energy, CP3 is a low power consumer at an environmentally friendly 15 watts.

Built-in Core 3 UI® XPanel technology affords virtual touch screen control through any popular Web browser running on a laptop or desktop computer. Our Crestron Mobile Pro™ app delivers the Crestron touch screen experience to your iPhone™, iPad™, or Android® device letting you safely monitor and control your entire home from everywhere.

Benefits

CP3 is more than just a new generation of control system. It's the future of networked, integrated home control and provides the backbone of the most powerful control platform available today. CP3 delivers true fully-integrated automation and has the horsepower to handle the most demanding requests. With every subsystem in the home connected on a single platform, all devices communicate and work together faster.

At up to 10 times faster than 2-Series processors, CP3 takes integrated home technology to a powerful new echelon of functionality, enabling real-time multi-tasking to flawlessly run up to 10 independent programs simultaneously. This innovative IT-based architecture also enables integrators to perform system maintenance and expansion in ways never before possible.

Upgrades can be performed on any individual subsystem without requiring the others to be shut down. Since only one-tenth of the entire system is being affected, everything is lightning fast. Program files are uploaded in a fraction of the time, making it faster and easier to program. Run-time efficiency and system stability are significantly increased. No other system can perform this kind of critical multitasking. In addition, CP3's highly energy-efficient design makes it a low power consumer at an environmentally friendly 15 watts.
