Crestron Masters Returns as an In-Person Event in 2022 and LCD will be there in person for the first time in the United States, but this is not our first rodeo!
We have been attending Masters since 2015 and have seen the event evolve from a smal group of elite programmers to a multi faceted training and networking event involvings professionsals from all aspects of the industry.
As companies, campuses, and academic institutions continue to progress forward in their efforts to produce an optimal workplace experience, now is the time to learn from industry experts at the 2022 in-person Crestron Masters event.

The Crestron Masters event brings together industry leaders to provide courses for continuing education and professional development as well as opportunities to network with other professionals in the industry.
Why is Crestron Masters Returning as an In-Person Event Important?
People who work in remote locations or have obligations that make it challenging to participate in in-person training may find online training an excellent alternative to traditional classroom instruction. However, in-person training allows for greater opportunities to gain hands-on understanding. Despite the significant strides that have gotten made in the field of educational technologies over the past few years, there are still a great number of industries that necessitate a certain form of in-person training.
Having to work side-by-side in person with teachers and other students offers possibilities for more engagement. In-person communication, as opposed to over the phone, via email, or text, typically results in greater directness and comprehension on both sides.
Training in-person typically offers more structure and organization than online instruction. In-person settings allow multiple staff members to progress through the material simultaneously. Instruction given to employees one-on-one keeps everybody on the same learning schedule. In-person training is likely the most beneficial option if more than one employee from the same company is interested in enrolling in and completing training.
Connect with Crestron Service Providers
Crestron Service Providers, also known as CSPs, are independent businesses approved by Crestron and employ Crestron-certified programmers. Certified Professionals hone their abilities through rigorous training and hands-on practical experience in the field. Because of the intensive training, significant expertise, and detailed testing requirements, Crestron-certified programmers enjoy great respect within the industry.
You can build connections with Crestron Service Providers to further your industry understandings at the in-person Crestron Masters event.
Returning as an In-Person Event for the First Time Since 2019
In addition to Masters , Crestron will be hosting a modern work summit event for two days. This work summit will focus on developing advancements and successful strategies for addressing the requirements of today’s blended workplaces. The much-awaited event will happen in Orlando, Florida, from September 20-21, 2022. Here, anyone can participate in conversations about the methods by which technology can influence and enhance employee engagement, as well as acquisition and employee and customer retention.
Now is not the time to hold back; register at Crestron today! If you will be at Masters and want to catch up drop us a mail using the contact page. We will also along with Crestron be in the Dallas for CEDIA Expo !
We have had the pleasure of working closely with 2N over the last year on providing software that brings advanced features to the integration between 2N intercoms and Crestron Home.
This interface is intended to simplify the connection of your Crestron Home system to the popular 2N range of intercom hardware. Crestron users do not only receive video intercom calls on their Crestron panel, but they can natively control doors and gates with 2N devices through intuitive Tiles or Quick Action. They can also benefit from higher comfort and security thanks to new options for interconnection of the intercoms with other smart home appliances.
System integrators can now work better with intercoms relays and I/Os and add them to the Quick Actions. This makes door or gate control quick and intuitive from the Crestron panel or mobile app. With the support of the Crestron Actions & Events, the intercom events like Motion Detection, Noise Detection, or I/Os states can be linked with actions in other smart devices connected and managed by Crestron. The driver brings new customized scenarios and added value to the 2N intercoms and access units.
Two options are available based on the project type: Single home site or MDU
Our partner page on the 2N Integration Hub provides another resource for users of 2N looking to integrate with other systems.
This complements our own resources which can be found in our support section of this website
“It’s great to be working with the team at LCD who make integration of our products more straightforward for our clients.”
Mode Lighting’s Tiger dimming system has been around for over 20 years and is a real workhorse of the leisure retail industry.
These dimmers have evolved over the years most noticeable in the last couple of years with a face lift on the scene plates using a similar format to the evolution system single gang plates.
With these systems in exsistance in so many premises though out the UK and across the world I thought it might be helpful to point out a couple of maintenance issues that can crop up on these units over the years.
Indicator Lights:
The tiger panels have a number of useful indicator lights which give a good starting point to fault finding.
Phase presence indicator lights : Three green or orange indicators letting you know that you have incoming phases present. (NB: prior to any internal fuses)
Channel indicator lamps : The red indicator lamps on the dimmer cards are indicative of the control output of the relevant channel.
Electronics Fuses:
For any maintenance engineer these should be the first place to start. The power supply board on a Tiger panel has three 20mm 500mA fuses (one per phase) located next to the phase presence indicator lights. These electronics fuses provide the low voltage control supply to the dimmer cards. The supply is spread across the three phases equally and so the tell tale sign for a blown electronic fuse is the non-operation of a number of circuits on the same or adjacent dimmer cards.
DMX Inputs:
The DMX inputs on tiger systems are really useful for taking control of a system from a DMX lighting desk however in a number of installations they remain unused. These inputs take over control of the lighting channels from the scene plates when a dmx signal is detected on the input. As standard at commissioning time it is best practice to short out the DMX data in to avoid noise problems. The tell tale of this fault is when the plates give no operation over all channels in the complete system.
Triac Faults:
This fault should be familiar to all those who maintain lighting control systems when a triac fails it usually fails short circuit meaning that the output of the dimmer always receives 240v non-dimmed and hence the faulty circuit remains on at 100% regardless of the control logic. Triacs for tiger dimmers can be replaced easily using non-solder connections.
Warning:
Only competent persons should attempting to carry out maintenance on lighting control panels .
Lighting control panels have 240v and often 440V supply present and you should ensure and isolate supply to panels before removing panel covers.
