Mirage Media Server® offers AirPlay® streaming and total control of iTunes® music library through Crestron touch screens

Autonomic®, an award-winning manufacturer of high-performance cloud-based media server solutions, has announced that their Mirage Media Server® platform seamlessly integrates with Crestron control systems and fully supports Crestron Core 3 UI™, the next generation of graphical user interface design. The integration of both solutions provides users with services they've been asking for, such as native connectivity with Crestron solutions and a dynamically rich user interface. The new Core 3 UI will provide customers with the rich controls they've come to expect from Autonomic, now on their favorite Crestron touch screen.

With support of Crestron Core 3 UI, Autonomic's Mirage Media Server can now provide users with complete control of iTunes® and streaming services, such as Spotify®, Pandora®, Rhapsody®, Last.fm®, and SiriusXM® from their Crestron touch screen. Core 3 UI effortlessly integrates fluid gesture-driven controls, animated feedback, metadata, embedded apps, and full-motion HD video for a deeply engaging and ultra-intuitive touch screen experience.

"Crestron offers complete solutions for Apple® devices that you use every day," said Crestron VP of Technology, Fred Bargetzi. "Mirage Media Server users can now enjoy the same dynamically rich user experience that they are used to on their iPhone®, iPad®, or Mac®, from their Crestron touch screen."

When combined with a Crestron control system, the Mirage Media Server allows users to sync, schedule, control, and distribute multiple streams of audio to every room in the house. Additionally, with its integrated Apple AirPlay® functionality, users can send music from their favorite Apple device to anywhere in the home with the press of a button.

"Crestron has always supported Autonomic with tools and resources, training, and technical assistance to ensure that our products work seamlessly together, guaranteeing the best possible experience for our customers," said Autonomic CTO, Michael Toscano. "We are very excited to partner with them once again to deliver this powerful combination of award-winning products that provide the ultimate digital music experience."

Crestron's revolutionary Core 3 OS and UI technologies provide manufacturers like Autonomic with an advanced platform and tools necessary to create a seamless and rich user experience across the Crestron line of award-winning touch screens and Apple iOS control solutions.
