XPanel Management enables you to upload, manage, and launch Crestron XPanel interfaces for Innomesh Sight rooms directly from Room Manager and Portal. This provides browser-based access to room control panels without requiring the Crestron Toolbox or direct processor access. XPanel support for Sight was introduced in Innomesh v3.5.0 and enhanced in v3.5.1 and v3.5.3.
What Is an XPanel?
A Crestron XPanel is an HTML5-based control interface that mirrors the functionality of a physical Crestron touch panel. It runs in a web browser and communicates with the Crestron processor to provide remote room control.
In the Innomesh context, XPanels are uploaded as .c3p files and associated with Sight rooms, allowing support teams to control rooms remotely from the Portal interface.
Uploading an XPanel
- Open the Sight room in Room Manager.
- Navigate to the Options menu.
- Select Update XPanels.
- Click Upload and select the
.c3pfile. - Click Save.
