Wireless Technology
Crestron’s groundbreaking infiNET EX wireless technology provides ultra-reliable
two-way communications throughout a residence or commercial structure utilizing a
2.4 GHz mesh network. A complete infiNET EX 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. Each device that is added
to the network effectively increases the range, strength and reliability of the entire
network by providing redundant signal paths, ensuring that every button press is
executed instantly and consistently.
Of course, the MTX-3 can also communicate directly with the gateway if no other
infiNET EX devices are installed. Up to six MTX-3s can be assigned to a single
gateway. Wireless range for each MTX-3 is 75 feet (23 meters) typical indoors,
which can easily be extended using infiNET EX Expanders*.
Instant-Waking™
To ensure the most transparent user experience possible, the MTX-3 has been
engineered to wake instantly at the press of a button or touch of the touchscreen.
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 MTX-3 to be put to sleep within seconds of putting it
down, helping to extend its battery life for several days of typical usage on a single
charge. Even under continuous use at full brightness, the MTX-3 lasts an incredible
five hours. Its fast charging, field replaceable lithium polymer battery pack delivers
optimum power in a very small, lightweight package.
Tactile Push Buttons with Backlit Text
A complement of tactile push buttons makes for a very intuitive user interface,
providing easy access to everything needed for watching TV and movies, listening to
music and controlling the entire room. Large, widely spaced buttons accommodate
hands and fingers of all sizes, minimizing the chance of an unintended button press.
Electroluminescent backlit button text affords excellent legibility for use in a
darkened room.
The push buttons are comprised of 17 buttons designated for the most common
functions, plus a 5-way navigation pad, three context assignable “hard keys” beneath
the touchscreen, a thumb operated “More” button for advancing through the
available touchscreen pages and a system power button. Every button on the MTX-3
is fully programmable to allow precisely the control desired, whether simply
adjusting audio volume and flipping through channels, controlling a DVR or DVD
player, navigating onscreen setup menus or operating a pan/tilt camera.
* Requires CEN-RFGW-EX or equivalent infiNET EX gateway, which supports up to 100 infiNET EX
network devices inclusive of up to six MTX-3 remotes. Additionally, up to five CLW-EXPEX
infiNET EX Expanders may be added to the network for extended range. All gateways and expanders
sold separately.
