Multimedia Presentation System 300 Crestron MPS-300
Composite, S-video, component and RGBHV signals can be routed to the
appropriate inputs on the display device, with control of the display provided via
Ethernet, RS-232 or IR. Input signal sensing is provided on every video and RGB
input to enable auto-switching functionality and provide device power status
information to the control system. Selectable sync impedance on the RGB inputs
helps accommodate cable runs of varying lengths.
Versatile matrix switching inside the MPS-300 actually affords some additional
hidden flexibility, providing discrete outputs for RGB, composite, S-video, and
component signals. For instance, Outputs 1 and 2 can function as separate composite
and S-video outputs, or as a single component output; Output 3 can be used for
component, S-video, or composite signals; and Output 4 can be used for either RGB
or component. Each output is fed by a separate matrix crosspoint, so they all can be
active simultaneously and assigned any relevant input source.
QuickMedia™ Matrix
In addition to its conventional type video inputs and outputs, the MPS-300
accommodates additional sources and display devices via Crestron's exclusive
QuickMedia (QM) transport. Three QM inputs accept connections from QM Wall
Plates, FlipTop Boxes, and Distribution Centers, providing an abundance of
additional inputs for AV, computer, and microphone sources. Three QM outputs are
also provided, each independently controllable to feed multiple displays and other
devices.
QuickMedia provides a very streamlined, low-cost, long-distance wiring solution.
The QuickMedia transport transmits high-resolution RGB, HD video, stereo program
and microphone audio signals up to 450 feet over a single inexpensive CAT5e type
cable*. Just one CresCAT-QM cable and a QM receiver are all that is required for
complete signal routing and device control, eliminating all the bulky, expensive
cabling that would otherwise be needed. A full range of QM transmitters, receivers,
and other products is offered by Crestron
® to suit any application.
* For QuickMedia wiring use CresCAT-QM-P, CresCAT-QM-NP, CresCAT-IM-P, or quality
CAT5e/CAT6 cable with a delay skew of ≤15ns per 100m; the maximum aggregate cable length and
delay skew between any QM transmitter (origination point) and QM receiver (endpoint) is 450 ft
(137 m) and 22 ns; a maximum of two QM midpoint devices may be inserted in a given QM signal
path; exceptions apply, refer to each respective product manual for full detail.
Touchpanel Output
Any of the QM outputs may be utilized to feed a preview signal to the system
touchpanel. Additionally, one Crestron Home
® (CH) CAT5 Balanced Video output
is included, its signal corresponding with the first QM output, providing for
simplified wiring to a complete range of Crestron touchpanels. Each QM output
supports high-resolution RGB and HDTV plus audio, while the CH output is limited
to standard video and HDTV only (dependent upon the capabilities of the
touchpanel).
8-Channel Microphone Matrix Mixing
Two gated microphone/line inputs are included on the MPS-300 complete with
software-switchable 48V phantom power and independently adjustable compression
and limiting. Up to six additional microphone signals can be brought in through the
three QM inputs, with 4-band speech-optimized equalization provided on all eight
mic channels. Sophisticated matrix mixing allows for six completely different mixes
of all eight microphones—three mixes feeding discrete “local” outputs, and three
additional mixes feeding the three QM outputs.
