Crestron Systems

    The Crestron Systems Media Services have installed in the classrooms provide a powerful and versatile means of using media in your courses. All Crestron Systems on the University of Oregon campus have an integrated data/video projection system, complete with audio, DVD, VCR, and computer projection capabilities.

    These systems do require some user knowledge for successful operation. Toward that end, we provide the following:

    • Group and individual tutorials
    • Text directions posted in the classrooms and online.
    • Help menus on the Crestron panel.
    • Online video tutorials (coming soon)
