Data can be exchanged easily between systems, such as Sennheiser's conference solution ADN - here, because control commands are transmitted via TCP/IP, the audio conferencing system's central unit, the ADN CU1, can be connected effortlessly to one of Cestron's media controllers. For example, when the talk button on a docking station is pressed, the media controller interprets the transferred information and triggers functions, such as aligning a camera with a speaker.
This device communication naturally works in both directions, meaning that Sennheiser communication stations can accessed remotely via Crestron touch panels. The user interface is incredibly easy to use, with images of the conference room appearing on the touch panel's screen.
Sennheiser's ceiling microphone TeamConnect Ceiling, which is connected to the TeamConnect Central Unit CU 1, can also be combined with Crestron products.
"Integration is the magic word," says Jens Werner, portfolio manager business communication at Sennheiser. "Ensuring that the products made by different manufacturers can communicate with each other is to the customer's advantage. All important parameters can be accessed and adjusted using one central device."
