Description
VideoCompositor is a high-end Crestron Smart Graphics™ component (SmartObject™) designed to help
developers build sophisticated drag-and-drop graphical user interfaces for controlling the Analog Way

entertaining task on many Crestron compliant touchscreen.
Requirements
This module LiveCore™ is supported by 2 and 3 series Crestron’s processors as long as these processors
provide an Ethernet connection. It will only work with Smart Graphics compliant panels such as TSX Series

XPanel, windows surface pro (windows 8.1 with adobe air 3.5). Apple iPad, Apple iPhone and Android are

especially if dynamic snapshots are required in the user interface.
