People & Places: InfoComm International Gets New COO, C2G Becomes Legrand Brand

CERTIFIED: More than 50 commercial displays from LG Electronics have earned Crestron Connected certification for enhanced control system compatibility.

“Crestron Connected certified LG products will both help further strengthen our relationships with end-customers and advance compatibility and usability throughout the industry for state-of-the-art, fully customizable technologies,” said Clark Brown, vice president, digital signage, LG Electronics USA Business Solutions, in a press release.

As part of the Crestron Connected program, LG is embedding Crestron control software into its commercial displays, which allows certified partners to natively connect, communicate and monitor activity from one central location. Because each display can be connected directly to the Crestron Network and recognized as a native Crestron device, customers will be able to seamlessly monitor and manage their LG displays through any web-enabled computer or mobile device without the use of an external control system. LG commercial displays also can show emergency messaging from Crestron controls.
