Features and Functions

(Continued)

The QM-FBCC-1 QuickMedia® Floor Box Computer Center is designed
for mounting in a variety of popular floor boxes and the QM-WCC-1
QuickMedia Wall Plate Computer Center provides a simple wall mount
computer interface solution for any MediaManager system, including
applications ranging from small conference rooms to large banquet halls
and auditoriums.

For simplicity within this guide, the term “QM-FBCC/WCC-1” is used
except where noted.

Floor Box Computer Interface (QM-FBCC-1 only)

The QM-FBCC-1 installs cleanly in a Hubbell SystemOne floor box or
poke-through using their Style Line® Sub-plate and Universal Cover. Its
slim dimensions and standard screw spacing may also make it suitable
for use with a variety of other floor box systems. An adhesive insert is
included to fit Hubbell Style Line and Leviton decorator style faceplate
cutouts.

Each QM-FBCC-1 provides a single RGB input with stereo audio to
accept a connection from a computer or other RGB source. Built-in
signal sensing can be utilized to trigger automatic input selection and
power control. Wiring for the QM-FBCC-1 is extremely simple requiring
just a single CresCAT®QM cable (sold separately).

Wall Mount Computer Interface (QM-WCC-1 only)

The QM-WCC-1 installs cleanly in a standard electrical box using a
decorator style faceplate (not supplied). A single RGB input with stereo
audio is provided to accept a connection from a computer or other RGB
source.

Crestron QM-FBCC/WCC-1 QuickMedia® Computer Centers

Connectivity for LAN and other signals can easily be added by ganging
the QM-WCC-1 together with other third-party wall plate devices. A
Crestron C2N-CDB or C2N-DB series keypad may also be installed for a
truly complete interface and control solution. Wiring for the QM-WCC-1
is extremely simple, requiring just a single CresCAT-QM cable (sold
separately).

Built-in signal sensing can be utilized to trigger automatic input selection
and power control.

QuickMedia® Transport

Using the revolutionary Crestron QuickMedia (QM) transport, input
signals are transmitted from the QM-FBCC/WCC-1 to any QuickMedia
receiver or distribution center over a single inexpensive CAT5e type
cable. Computer resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 pixels at 60 Hz are
supported over cable runs up to 450 feet (137 meters). Audio signals are
transmitted digitally with high performance 24-bit resolution.
QuickMedia dramatically simplifies system design and installation,
affording a higher level of performance at a lower overall cost.

NOTE: For QuickMedia wiring use CresCAT-QM, CresCAT-IM or

quality CAT5e/CAT6 cable with a delay skew of ≤ 15 ns per 328 feet

(100 meters); the maximum aggregate cable length and delay skew
between any QM transmitter (origination point) and QM receiver
(endpoint) is 450 feet (137 meters) 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 details.

MediaManager System Integration

Whether using just one floor box or wall plate computer center or
several, complete system operation can be made transparent to the end
user with all signal routing occurring smoothly under the command of the
MediaManager control system. Complete MediaManager systems are
easy to design, program and adjust from start to finish using Crestron
SystemBuilder™ software.

EDID Format Management

The QM-FBCC/WCC-1 allows for management of the EDID (Extended
Display Identification Data) information sent to the connected source.

Using Crestron Toolbox™ software, the format and resolution

Operations & Installation Guide – DOC. 6716B QuickMedia®: QM-FBCC/WCC-1  3

QuickMedia® Computer Centers Crestron QM-FBCC/WCC-1

capabilities of each device can be assessed and managed through the
QM-FBCC/WCC-1, ensuring reliable operation by instructing sources to
output only the resolutions and formats that can be handled by the
displays and system wiring.
