Modular Programming Architecture
The RMC4 is designed to run a single program out of the box. The optional modular
programming architecture (MPA)add-on allows the RMC4 to run up to ten programs
simultaneously.1Programmers can develop and run independent, device-specific programs,
enabling each program to be optimized for a specific function and allowing for changes to be
made to one program without affecting the whole system.
Onboard Control Ports
Through a full complement of onboard control ports, the RMC4 can be integrated with a wide
variety of audio, video, lighting, motorized shades, thermostats, door locks, sensors, security
systems, and other equipment.
lEthernet provides an interface for connecting to the building network and controlling
Crestron AV switchers, audio processors, power controllers, and other IP controllable
equipment.
lCresnet® network connectivity provides support for Crestron lighting dimmers, motorized
shades, sensors, thermostats, keypads, and more.2
lOnboard RS-232, IR, relay, and digital input control ports enable direct integration with all
types of third-party equipment.
Expanded connectivity can be provided to the RMC4 via Crestron control port expansion
modules,Ethernet to Cresnet bridges,wired Ethernet I/O extenders, or Wi-Fi® network I/O
extenders (all sold separately).
Crestron Fusion Room Monitoring and Scheduling
Crestron Fusion provides an integrated platform for creating smart buildings that save energy
and enhance worker productivity. As part of a complete managed network in a corporate
enterprise, college campus, convention center, or any other facility, the RMC4 works with
Crestron Fusion to enable remote scheduling, monitoring, and control of rooms and technology
from a central help desk or mobile app. It also enables organizations to reduce energy
consumption by tracking real-time usage and automating control of AV, lighting, shades, and
HVAC. For more information about Crestron Fusion, visit www.crestron.com/fusion.
XiOCloud Provisioning and Management
4-Series control systems leverage the power and flexibility of XiO Cloud services, enabling users
to remotely provision, monitor, and manage Crestron devices across an enterprise network. XiO
Cloud can be used to configure and load programs to the control system before it is received,
making the control system fully functional as soon as it is connected to the network. XiO Cloud is
built on the Microsoft® Azure® software platform and utilizes Microsoft's industry leading Azure
IoT Hub technology. XiO Cloud enables installers and IT managers to deploy and manage
thousands of devices in the time it previously took to manage just one. Unlike other virtual
machine based cloud solutions, Azure services provide unlimited scalability to suit the ever
growing needs of an enterprise. For more information, visit www.crestron.com/xiocloud.
