Powered by Core 3
The Crestron Core 3 framework enables the generation of dynamically rich user interfaces with greater power
and ease than ever. Core 3 lets touch screen designers merge multiple objects and apps on screen leveraging
the power of Adobe Flash, multi-format video, Web browsing, IP intercom, and other technologies to deliver an
engaging and ultra-intuitive touch screen experience. Use gestures navigation to effortlessly browse through music
and movie libraries, scroll through TV channels and radio stations, and select any desired control app from an
intuitive menu of colorful 3D icons. Personalize the touch screen desktop with animated clocks, calendars, weather
widgets, news feeds, and other informative objects. Even apply themes and backgrounds that change on the fly
with each user, event, or season.
But, the power of Core 3 extends beyond impressive graphics and animated objects,unleashing
tremendous new capabilities for controlling devices and managing acomplete integrated system. Using
the Core 3 SDK, programmers can develop fully functioning "device apps" that can be dropped into
each touch screen project without additional programming or resizing. Or, choose from an expanding
library of fully developed device apps to instantly add controls for security systems and HVAC, provide
sophisticated navigation for media servers and tuners, and enable user friendly editing of lighting scenes
and channel presets. With Core 3, the possibilities are virtually limitless.
Embedded PC
The DGE-2's embedded PC engine combines rock solid touch screen graphics performance with
built-in Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and Microsoft Word, Excel, and
PowerPoint document viewers. While simultaneously controlling the home, boardroom, or lecture hall,
the DGE-2 provides everything needed for enjoying online music and movies, viewing Web pages and
accessing most types of digital media without necessitating a separate computer. In addition, VNC Viewer
support delivers enhanced cross-platform interaction with computers over the network or Internet,
allowing remote access and control of desktop applications to unleash all kinds of new presentation and
system integration possibilities.
Dual-Window HD Video and RGB
The DGE-2 can simultaneously generate two fully-scalable, full-motion video windows, each supporting
standard video, HDTV, and high-resolution RGB signals from external AV and computer sources. Input
connections include two HDMI, two analog RGB, and two multi-format analog video. The HDMI inputs
support digital HD sources including HDMI, DVI, and DisplayPort Multimode[4]. The RGB inputs handle
high-resolution analog VGA computer sources, and the multi-format video inputs accept analog
composite, S-Video, and component HD video sources. External audio signals are handled by the HDMI
inputs, and by a single analog line input.
HDCP Support
Industry-leading support for HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) ensures seamless
compatibility with content-protected DVD, Blu-ray Disc
, digital HDTV, and multimedia computer sources.
