Some have already taken the plunge into the networked AV world, but many are still wary of this change.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that NETGEAR and Crestron are working together to help make this transition easier \u2013 painless, even.<\/p>\n<p>Any discussion about AV equipment, whether it is used in the home, office, or somewhere in between, involves an undisputed leader in the industry: Crestron. Creston is known for its cutting-edge technology, and part of its appeal lies in its ability to control and manage a wide range of devices.
