Programming with Crestron SystemBuilder

Crestron SystemBuilder offers automatic programming for such residential and
commercial applications as audio distribution, home theater, video conferencing, and
lighting. The interface of this tool guides you through a few basic steps for
designating rooms and specifying the control system, touchpanels, devices, and
functionality. Crestron SystemBuilder then programs the system, including all
touchpanel projects and control system logic.
Crestron SystemBuilder is fully integrated with Crestron's suite of software
development tools, including SIMPL Windows, VT Pro-e, Crestron Engraver,
Crestron Database, User IR Database, and User Modules Directory. Crestron
SystemBuilder accesses these tools behind the scenes, enabling you to easily create
robust systems.
