The Crestron® iPanel® Wall Dock (IDOC-PAD-LCA2-DSWC) provides a stylish wall docking solution for an Apple® iPad Air® 2 or iPad Pro® 9.7 device.[1] The iPanel dock simultaneously charges the iPad® device while allowing it to be used to control a home, business, boardroom, or classroom. The iPad device slides easily into the iPanel dock, instantly transforming it into a stationary wall or lectern mounted touch screen. Its invertible design allows for left or right hand docking access. The iPad device can be removed just as easily from the iPanel dock to resume portable use at any time. Or, the included locking kit can be installed to keep the iPad device permanently in place with a full bezel surrounding the touch screen display on all four sides.
As part of a complete Crestron control solution, an iPad device offers a very powerful and practical touch screen controller for home theater, whole-house automation, and commercial AV and room control applications. Crestron Control® is enabled on the iPad device by downloading and installing the Crestron App [2], which provides professional Crestron touch screen functionality through a very stylish and highly-customizable graphical interface. Adding the iPanel dock affords the advantage of wall or lectern mounted touch screen operation and battery charging.
iPanel docks are also ideal for use with Crestron Pyng®.
Simple, Versatile Mounting
Using the bracket provided, the IDOC-PAD-LCA2-DSWC installs easily over a 2-gang US, UK, or European electrical box. It can also be attached directly to drywall and other surfaces over the front of a 2-3/8” H x 3-3/8” W (60mm H x 86mm W) cutout. When installed, it protrudes just 1 inch (26 mm) from the mounting surface. Its versatile design allows the unit to be installed so that the iPad device can be docked from either the left or right.
Replacing an older Crestron touch screen with the IDOC-PAD-LCA2-DSWC is easy. The bracket provided installs directly over the existing back box, mounting kit, or cut-out for any of the following older models: APAD, CT-1000, LC-1000, TPS-2000L, TPS-4L, and TPS-6L.
Multiple Power Options
The IDOC-PAD-LCA2-DSWC is designed to provide a clean installation with no visible wires. The only wiring required is to power and ground the unit. It can be powered using either PoE or 24 Volts DC. PoE (Power over Ethernet) allows for connection to a PoE network or PoE injector for power, while 24VDC allows for connection to a Cresnet® network or power supply. Crestron offers PoE network switches (CEN-SW-POE-5 or CEN-SWPOE-16), a PoE injector (PWE-4803RU), and a 24VDC power pack (PW-2407RU), any of which may be used to power the iPanel Wall Dock.[3]
