Prodigy is a simple to install, easy to use, and exceptionally affordable solution that does not require any special wiring or expensive custom installation.

Key Features include;

• Affordable Two-Way control
• Wired and wireless control options
• X-panel system control from your networked PC
• iPhone and iTouch control integration
• Lighting & Switching control from August 2010
• Color touchscreen remote option from March 2010

The system programming is achieved either by Composer based software or via our traditional and very powerful SIMPL Windows and VT Pro-e programming suites.

Prodigy home automation solutions include home theatre control, audio distribution and Climate control interfacing. The Prodigy lighting control solutions will also be available by April 2010 providing an expanded system solution. Backed by Crestron quality, expertise and support, Prodigy is inexpensive control without compromise.

Prodigy also has many applications for the commercial and education markets allowing you to now have Crestron installed where budgets previously would have not allowed integration. You can now have an integrated control solution with both wireless, wall mounted and web based control for a classroom or meeting room at a budget price point. And because it’s Crestron the options available for future expansion and connectivity are also available.

According to Jason Lewis, National Manager for Crestron Australia & New Zealand, “Prodigy gives our Integrators the opportunity to expand their market to provide control for every customer and budget, Crestron now has a solution for every level of client.”

Prodigy is scalable, so the system can easily grow at any time. Start with a simple home theatre or classroom today; then add multizone audio, lighting and climate control, even remote control from laptops and mobile devices is included. Control interfaces include touchpanels, handheld controllers, wireless keypads, and remote access via iPhone® and computers.
