[MacTUG] Crestron AirMedia (Wireless AV connection) devices not working with Macs

[Mike Patterson]

Not every Crestron is the same, but my Mojave laptop works with the little guy in the meeting room nearest to me. I have the usual problems I have, one of which is the app wants me to re-give it the IP and use the 4 digit code as a password (relevant) and the other of which is I can never remember which light status on the TV means it's off and which means it's in standby (not relevant).

The app I get sent when I browse to the controller's IP doesn't say anything about OS requirements.
