optimized for easy onscreen menu navigation, and all buttons include backlighting to
facilitate operation in a darkened home theater or boardroom.
Audio Feedback
Providing an additional dimension to the control experience, the MT-1000C can be
loaded with fully-customizable WAV files to provide audible feedback, button
clicks, and personalized voice prompts.
RF and IR Wireless
Crestron's proven RF wireless technology affords an operational range of up to 100
feet with complete freedom of movement. Long-range 418 MHz 1-way RF
communication enables compatibility with any Crestron control system via the
CNRFGWA-418 gateway (sold separately). Range is easily extended by distributing
multiple gateways throughout a structure. The MT-1000C is also ideal for use with
Crestron's MC2W Integrated Wireless Control System. IR communications is
facilitated using the C2N-IRGW Series IR Gateway or CNXRMIRD IR Receiver
(sold separately) along with a compatible control system or room solution box.
Li-Ion Rechargeable Batteries
A fast-charging Lithium Ion battery pack provides long-lasting wireless operation
without the "memory" issues typical of other rechargeable batteries. Adjustable autoshutoff preserves the battery for up to a week without recharging. The included
docking station simplifies recharging while simultaneously providing operating
power when the battery is low.
Pick-up Sensor
An integral movement sensor can be set to automatically wake the touchpanel and
turn on the backlight whenever the unit is picked up, readying the complete unit for
use without having to wait after touching the touchscreen or buttons.
