Adaptable AV Ecosystem Provided by ViewSonic and Crestron  
To simplify management and increase adaptability, ViewSonic has developed myViewBoard Manager, a web-based platform allowing quick and efficient centralized management and remote control of ViewSonic's displays. This partnership enables Crestron's customers to swiftly adopt and manage ViewSonic's display solutions, thereby enriching the choices of audiovisual solutions, incorporating the advanced features and functionality of the IFP and CDE series, and meeting the diverse requirements of modern work environments. Simultaneously, for ViewSonic customers, this collaboration enhances the utility of their existing IFP62 series and CDE30 series. It enables seamless incorporation into centralized control systems and ensures improved compatibility with various devices from different brands, all supported by Crestron's platform.

The collaboration combines ViewSonic's visual technology expertise and Crestron's integration prowess.
