AMX and Crestron do not offer digital video on their panels, they simply pass analog video over cat5e. Very different. The advantage is resolution, and local dvr functionality of video on the TP. Not to mention you could have multiple TP and MCE boxes watching a video or recorded TV show all a few frames a part with independent DVR functionality. Let me add that no more hardware is required to do our TP, just the panel , no NXI or anything else.
