Crestron and TD Maverick have announced a new partnership to distribute Crestron SR throughout Europe. Designed in partnership with Microsoft, Crestron SR is a powerful, professional solution built for Skype for Business which brings a simple to use, HD audio visual experience to meeting rooms and deployed and managed on the network. The partnership reflects the hybrid nature of the product with Crestron partners, the Pro AV channel and IT partners can all buy through the distribution channel, in a unique move from the manufacturer.
As the home for Skype For Business systems in Europe, with a suite of complementary products, Maverick’s collaboration team will spearhead the introduction of the product to the channel through its 19 countries.
Crestron SR has been engineered from the ground up to easily integrate with a large range of meeting rooms; from small and midsize spaces to larger conference rooms
Ted Colton, Vice President of Unified Communication Strategies at Crestron explains;
“Working with Maverick on the distribution of our Skype Room System presents a fantastic opportunity for Crestron to expand rapidly, to meet this product’s potential across Europe. Their knowledge of the Microsoft eco-system and the AV industry will be perfect to ensure this product receives the right support.”
Crestron SR has been engineered from the ground up to easily integrate with a large range of meeting rooms; from small and midsize spaces to larger conference rooms. It’s possible to easily join meetings, make calls and instantly share content in room and remotely, all from an elegant touch screen device. Some of its key features include a touch controller which manages the Skype Meeting; HDMI inputs and outputs; six USB ports to connect audio devices and a port to add an occupancy sensor for automation and room usage reporting.
Jon Sidwick, Vice President Maverick Europe commented;
“Crestron is a flagship AV brand, bringing to market a cutting-edge product which will work brilliantly for corporate businesses already working with the Crestron or Microsoft ecosystem. The product is walk up and use and its connectivity will make it a presentation tool for larger meetings. We see huge opportunities for integrators merging AV and IT products, opening new opportunities for further control systems and automation.”
The manufacturer’s SRP will be €2649.00 with the product available across Europe from Autumn 2017.
