We are also are offering to build a new HTML5 version of the XPanel, however, this is not a straightforward conversion but a made from scratch new program.
Unfortunately, this affects all market verticals where Crestron XPanels are implemented.Īt 4 Pair Communications, we are launching a solution to evaluate this risk for your business or home and offer a service that will convert the web-based Crestron XPanel interface to an app or executable file for desktop versions using the Adobe Air plugin and Crestron programming tools. According to Crestron, this means that browsers and operating systems that were running flash will no longer allow the Crestron Web XPanel to launch and work. Specifically, the Adobe Flash plugin/runtime, which is used when running a web-based XPanel, was announced by Adobe to be discontinued on December 31, 2020. Many spaces with Crestron AV Technology have been installed with custom control, keypads, touch screens, iPads, Tablets, and PC control, some of which are at high risk of being inoperative.
