Crestron Voting Module with Request to Speak Functions

ControlWorks Consulting has an established history of providing Crestron voting solutions on a contractual basis. This module was developed to provide basic voting services to be added to programs by other Crestron programmers.  We also offer more advanced or highly customized voting systems as custom projects.  For more information on our contract services, see the brochure below or contact us directly.

This module provides voting functions on a Crestron 2-series processor. All voting functions are completed in the Crestron processor. A PC is required only for optional agenda information import (from Microsoft PowerPoint) or results data export (to Microsoft Excel). This module can also be used to provide “request-to-speak” functionality, triggering microphones to activate or pan/tilt/zoom cameras to move.

This module provides users with the ability to:

• Import agenda information from PowerPoint (via Crestron e-PowerPoint)
• Add “ad hoc” agenda items using a QWERTY keyboard on the Crestron touchpanel
• Export voting results to Excel (via Crestron e-Datalog)
• Rename, store and recall 5 different meeting groups of up to 15 members each to compact flash. This will store the name of the meeting type, the names of each member, and the seating chart.   (Example: City Council, School Board, Legal and Finance, Planning Commission, Zoning Board)  The different groups can each have a unique size (up to 15 members)
• Modify and record attendance
• Start and stop voting process
• View voting results on a display device driven by a TPS-G-TPI or C2N-DVP4DI
• Vote yea, nay or abstain
• Select "Unanimous," "2/3," "3/4," "4/5," or "Majority" voting modes
• Set and display a vote count-down timer, allowing delegates a certain amount of time to place their votes
• Vote from either the total number of delegates, or only the number currently present
• Select if the system should automatically close the vote after all votes have been cast
• Utilize a variety of interfaces for the delegates, including Crestron keypads or touchpanels
• Request to speak, which will present the chairman with a list of users who are in the queue.
• The chairman is then able to give any user the floor, remove any user from the queue, remove all users from the queue, etc.
• Assign and store seating arrangements for each group, including flagging seats as unused.
• Store a backup of meeting records to the Crestron Compact Flash card
