Crestron expanded its AV receiver selection with the $5,500-suggested 7.1-channel HD-XSPA, which is designed to integrate with the company’s DigitalMedia whole-house 4K AV system.
The AVR incorporates an onboard DigitalMedia receiver, which enables a one-wire connection to a DigitalMedia switcher installed in a central equipment cabinet to access a home’s shared video sources.
The two-space rack-mountable component, which is shipping, also features multiple control ports addressable from a Crestron control system.
