Crestron Prodigy PLX2 Wireless Remote

Featuring 2-way wireless communications, the PLX3 offers seamless interaction with AV and environmental systems, providing true feedback of all your settings, and displaying metadata information for all your digital media. Whether watching TV, choosing a movie or music title, adjusting room temperature and lighting, or checking the security system, the PLX3 affords a user experience only Crestron can deliver.

Color LCD Display
The PLX3 affords intuitive control for your entire home through a brilliant user interface that's simple to use and just as simple to configure. Featuring scrolling menus and full-color icons, the PLX3 makes it easy to select your room, pick a media source, choose a radio station, TV channel, or media title, and even access lighting and other home automation controls - all without having to flip through endless confusing pages of static buttons.

Navigating the PLX3 UI is simplified using the side-mounted scroll wheel and "Back" button, and the three menu selection buttons beneath the screen. Quickly access the media source menu or lighting controls menu by pressing the MEDIA or LIGHTS button, or press the Crestron "swirl" button to access the home and room selection pages. From the home page, you can jump to additional control pages and info screens such as climate control, security, and weather. For multiroom systems, the room selection page lets you choose the room you're in, or any other room, to quickly take control of its lighting, audio, video, and other functions. Whatever page you're on, simply roll the scroll wheel up or down to move through the menu, and then press the wheel in to select the desired item. At any time, pressing the "Back" button reverts to the previous page.

On each page, the PLX3 provides true-feedback so you always know the status of the item you're controlling, even if you're situated in a different room. Audio volume and lighting levels are clearly indicated using bar graphs. Room temperature and security system status can be viewed and controlled without leaving your favorite seat. Metadata is also displayed to provide complete information about the current playing song, movie, TV program, or radio station. Even weather conditions are available through the Crestron Weather application.

Tactile Pushbuttons with Backlit Text
A full complement of tactile pushbuttons makes for a very intuitive user experience, providing quick access to everything needed for watching TV and movies, listening to music, and controlling the entire room. Backlit button text affords excellent legibility for use in a darkened room.

In addition to the menu buttons and scroll wheel, there are 37 buttons designated for all the most common functions, plus a 5-way navigation pad, and system power button. Every button on the PLX3 is fully programmable to allow precisely the control desired, whether simply adjusting audio volume and flipping through channels, controlling a DVR or DVD player, or navigating onscreen setup menus.

Crestron Wireless Technology
Our groundbreaking wireless technology provides ultra-reliable 2-way communications throughout any type of residential structure utilizing a 2.4 GHz mesh network. A complete Prodigy mesh network uses the lighting dimmers and other devices throughout the structure as wireless relay stations, each receiving and passing on wireless commands to the central gateway. Every device that is added to the network effectively increases the range, strength, and reliability of the entire network by providing multiple redundant signal paths, ensuring that every button press is executed instantly and consistently. Of course, the PLX3 can communicate directly with the PMC2 or PMC3 Media Controller if no other wireless Prodigy devices are installed. Up to six PLX3s can be assigned to a single Media Controller. Wireless range for each PLX3 is 75 feet (23 meters) typical indoors, which can easily be extended using the P-EXPEX Wireless Expander.[1]

Instant Responsiveness
To ensure the most transparent user experience possible, the PLX3 has been engineered to wake instantly at the press of a button. Button presses are sent immediately, just like an IR remote but with none of IR's limitations. So spontaneous actions like muting the audio, pausing the video, or changing the channel can be executed on-the-fly with just a single button press.

Extended Battery Life
Instant-waking also allows the PLX3 to be put to sleep within seconds, helping to maximize its battery life for several months of typical usage on a single set of batteries. The backlight intensity can also be adjusted or disabled to extend battery life even longer. The PLX3 runs on four disposable AA lithium or alkaline batteries.

Simplified Programming
Configuring the PLX3 is made easy through the wizard-based Prodigy Composer software. Simply choose the PLX3 from a drop down menu, assign it to a room and you're done. There's no need to upload anything to the PLX3; all settings are transferred over the air making installation quick and easy.
