Rava is the hands-free communication over Ethernet technology that Crestron showed at CEDIA Expo last September. Rava technology is built into many Crestron touch screens, integrating hands-free intercom, telephone, paging and room monitoring in one IP-based system.

Rava does two things. First, it allows for Rava-to-Rava devices to communicate with each other. Place two or more Rava devices on the local network; they are now set up to intercom, page and monitor point-to-point with each other. No other wiring or special central routing devices are required.

Second, it allows Rava-to-SIP VoIP, bridging a SIP system with a Rava-enabled device. Take any SIP VoIP phone system and use the existing Ethernet connection to enable intercom, paging and monitoring with Rava devices. Cisco, Mitel, Panasonic, 3CX and other SIP systems integrate easily with Rava devices.

Rava support is available on the following Crestron touch screens:

• TPMC-4SM-FD
• TPMC-4SMD-FD
• TPMC-8T-GA
• TPMC-8X-GA
