AVStudio HTML5 GUI Editor Updates Version 3.4.0 | New features for Crestron Control System GUIs
At AVgator Inc. we are committed to evolving our AVStudio HTML5 GUI Editor to empower system integrators with faster, smarter, and more flexible tools. Our recent updates — versions 3.4.0 through 3.4.2 — bring exciting new features and capabilities that help Crestron HTML5 GUI developers deliver exceptional customized control system user interfaces.
Premium Widgets for a One-Click Integration
NEW
With version 3.4.0, we launched the Autonomic Premium Widget — AVStudio first widget designed for 'one-click integration' within your Control System Custom GUI project. This AVStudio HTML5 GUI Editor new feature is developed to accelerate your Crestron Control System GUI design. Simply drag and drop the widget, enter the IP address, and you instantly get a sleek, fully responsive media player interface ready to use. No complicated setup — just rapid deployment that saves you time and impresses your clients.
Key features:
Only the IP field is required to get started
Fully responsive design that fits any space
Comprehensive support for the Autonomic API:
Full transport control (Play, Pause, Skip, etc.)
Real-time metadata display (album art, track info, artist name)
Volume control
Player selection
Seamless integration with Crestron, Global Caché, and other AV control
This launch marks the start of our vision to develop a diverse portfolio of premium widgets supporting one-click integration with multiple hardware and software platforms. These widgets will be tailored for residential, corporate, hospitality, and education use-case scenarios. We are committed to making AV Studio the go-to Crestron HTML5 GUI Editor for seamless, drag-and-drop integrations across all environments.
Web Connectors to add IP-controlled devices
NEW
In addition to the existing Crestron Connectors which enable fast development and testing of Crestron HTML5 GUIs within AVStudio, this new release introduces new Web Connectors. These empower you to integrate and control a wide range of other IP-based devices and control systems within the AVStudio HTML5 GUI Editor.
Managing HTTP resources in your AVStudio GUI projects is now easier with the new Web Connectors feature. Accessible from your project’s global settings, Web Connectors let you centrally store and manage data properties used across your HTTP actions — making edits faster and your Custom GUI Editor projects more consistent.
New Web Connectors feature extends your GUI project capabilities far beyond standard Crestron hardware and makes AVStudio the go-to GUI Editor for system integrators working across AMX, Control4, Extron, Global Cache and other various control systems and devices.
WebSocket connectors are currently under development and will soon complement the existing Web Connectors. This new functionality will enhance the handling of real-time data streams and support remote data sources, expanding your options for dynamic and responsive integrations in future AVstudio updates.
Redesigned manage Actions Layout
NEW
To streamline your workflow, we redesigned the Manage Actions interface in the HTML5 GUI Editor to occupy almost the full screen and group actions thematically. This reorganization helps you quickly find and manage the actions you need, keeping your focus on building powerful GUIs without unnecessary distractions.
Workflow Improvements
BUGFIX
Between updates 3.4.1 and 3.4.2, we delivered key fixes and enhancements to make your control system GUI design experience within AVStudio more stable and smooth:
Fixed issues with attaching dynamic page names in route actions
Improved stability of routing-back operations
Introduced the new Editor Connection Manager for better connection handling inside the editor
Several minor improvements and bug fixes for overall performance
