Also if you wear a badge or a tshirt from Crestron, you’ll be unable to approach AMX booth ! Last thing, don’t expect a regular newsletter to be up to date with new products, it’s up to you to find informations about new products !

Something you should definitively see also: AMX at professional exhibitions such as SATIS in France: if you look for help or informations about products, forget it, often not much people of AMX, or too busy…, probably not always the case but our customers told it to us few times already. Well it never happened as AMX cancelled it just two days before the start (some of our customers went on site for nothing, what a shame !). Well I made a mistake, we got a roadshow three years and a half (just before end of distribution in France) that was supposed to show AMX products to dealers and customers in different towns in France. Last publicity we have seen in press here for AMX, was at time of french distributor, nothing since. Concerning France, as it’s our primary market, it’s completely non-existent. But you have to keep the line, after having changed two times of name previously (Panja stuffs again) and most fun of it, was that Panja reversed gives Japan (at time where AMX started to produce its products in Thailand !!). Very good idea when you know that at least half of the world is against irak war and more generally don’t follow at all american political view. You communicate on fact you have your equipment installed in all war equipments of american army….

AMX: well I would say it’s a 150% american marketing view.

Whatever it’s AMX or Crestron you’ll still find some recurring issues for connectors access: RJ-45 connectors on back of Modero (pretty difficult to remove with fingers), or USB program port on Adagio (behind the front panel), but no-one is perfect ! Engineers should just sometimes use their equipments as a final user in real conditions.

You get something dead or wrong on site, they send you immediately a replacement, without asking you first to fill papers and serial numbers and all these stuffs really boring when you are on site and need to get everything running in time. For repairs, it’s not at all same game as AMX.

Crestron: from what I have seen till now it appears to be pretty good quality as AMX.

As all electronics equipments, most default appear in few weeks after install, but once it’s running, you can forget it ! You just have to forget some few persistent things such as quality of plastic of MVP (it scratches very quickly and default is present since first units, in fact it’s just a painted plastic and not colored plastic !) or link efficiency of R-4 and ease of use for programming (each time you need to put it back in USB mode, restart, load it for pages, then put it back in zigbee, restart and then you can test it, easy….) (oky it’s Zig-Bee a pretty new system, but at these prices you would expect products that work well), or MAX Servers (we have been confronted with three of thems and none worked well, and AMX guy that came on site was unable also to get it working, it was nearly worse when he left !)

AMX: it’s nearly ten years now I program these equipments and they have proofed to be pretty good quality.

Crestron: privately owned since its beginning, so at least it keeps the same line of view so long its owner is there 🙂 They just got few problems few years ago in France, when their distributor disappeared, before they open their own office in Paris.

AMX: Well not to say the least, it’s not the best, as company already changed of name two times in past (Panja story), once when it started to be quoted, then back to original name two years later ! and finally it was no more an independant company so it definitively lost its individuality last year when it has been bought by Duchossois Industry.

I’ll try to list most important points here, to help you in your choice. When you need to select a company, whatever you are an end user or a dealer prepared to open an account at one of these manufacturers, you have to carefully review different important things.

They can be encountered in so different systems as Conferencing Rooms, Boardrooms, private residential installations, churches, …Įlements of comparison presented here are based on our experience as independant programmers since three years and a half here in France, and also our past years working at old french distributor of AMX ( Pilote Films) for me, and directly at AMX belgium office for my associate. They are both the main competitors in high-quality market for automation systems of audiovisual equipments. That post is intended as help for choice between AMX and CRESTRON.
