Crestron RoomView Express is a powerful AV asset management software tool that enables you to keep track of all the rooms in your facility. While connected to each room, RoomView displays system and projector power status, lamp life, alerts and other vital statistics. This graphic-rich interface empowers AV managers to intelligently manage and support every room.
Without RoomView, support staffs must roam hallways to check room status, manually view and record projector lamp life, provide in-person help to users, and turn off systems one by one at the end of each day.
Monitor and Manage
From the main screen of RoomView, instantly see the status and vital statistics of every room. At a glance, determine projector lamp life and room occupancy. Completely customizable, RoomView lets you view and control any system attribute—power, volume, source, lights, room temperature and more.
Logging and Reporting
While viewing rooms in real-time is advantageous, the ability to analyze data collected over time in invaluable. RoomView logs every change and the time at which it occurred. Determining room usage or most common sources is easy with the built-in reporting tool.
Help Desk
Provide more effective technical support with RoomView. From any room, presenters can call for help from a touch panel, keypad, or other user interface. Help messages popup in RoomView alerting technicians that aid is needed. Quickly provide assistance or notify presenters that help is on the way with a simple chat window that is displayed on the touch panel.
Remote Control
With RoomView, AV managers can take complete control of any room, right from the help desk. A window within RoomView Express displays a room's virtual touch panel. Instead of having to run across campus, provide help within seconds remotely from anywhere on or off site. Increase response time and customer satisfaction with less staff.
Alerts
Sometimes the most difficult problems to troubleshoot are the ones that cannot be seen. RoomView is your watchdog for hundreds of rooms. Maybe a projector is overheating, or a DVD player is randomly shutting off. Problems like these sometimes require hours of time in the room. RoomView buys you time and helps makes problem solving easier.
Email Notifications
Away from your desk? RoomView can send you alerts via email. Know when a room is occupied and powered on or if a touch panel was disconnected. Replace projector lamps when they've reached critical levels. Already walking the campus? Get emails when users request help, saving the back-and-forth trips to and from the help desk.
Event Scheduling
The days of room-sweeps are over. RoomView can power up and power down on schedule, eliminating the need for personal visits to each space. Save money and energy by ensuring that projectors aren't left on after hours.
Assets
Keep track of equipment with the asset manager. Know when devices require maintenance, where they're located, and when its time for replacement. Email alerts also inform the appropriate parties of service contract expiration and full product depreciation.
Broadcast Messaging
With RoomView Express, administrators can quickly and effectively send important messages to every room with a RoomView Connected™ projector. A simple click broadcasts fire, safety, weather notifications and more to hundreds of rooms instantly. Broadcast messages are displayed over the material shown on the screen—from sources like computers, DVDs and more—clearly alerting everyone in the room.
RoomView Connected™ Projector Support
Projectors with Crestron inside already connect directly to RoomView Express. Built-in network connectivity provides instant status and remote technical support so your class or meeting is never interrupted. Broadcast messaging ensures a safe environment.
