MPC3-302

3-Series® Media Presentation Controller 302

Crestron® MPC3 series controllers are perfect for classrooms,
meeting rooms, lecture halls, and training facilities. Use the
MPC3-302 to control a video display or AV system, adjust
lighting and window shades, or any other custom application.
The MPC3-302 is designed for flush-mount installation in a
wall using a 3-gang U.S. electrical box (not included). It can
also be installed in a podium with no back box or placed on a
table using the optional tabletop kit.

NOTE: The MPC3-302 series fits all the same mounting

options as previous generation MPC-M10, MPC-M20,
MPC-M25, and MPC-M50 series products, providing an easy
retrofit upgrade for older systems.

Customizable Backlit Buttons
