.AV Framework™ Software for MPC3

Introduction

Crestron® .AV Framework™ software is a web-based management solution that is used to deploy scalable Crestron enterprise room solutions without requiring any programming. The .AV Framework configuration utility is accessible from most web browsers and provides the following functions:

• Select sources and displays.

• Configure device control for Blu-ray Disc® players, cable TV boxes, and

video servers.

• Add a compatible touch screen to generate the GUI for a single or multiple display systems.

• Add a compatible button panel to control single display systems.

• Add a Cresnet® network occupancy sensor for additional system automation.

• Connect to Crestron Fusion® software to monitor and control basic room data,

system power, source selection, and room scheduling.

• Customize the .AV Framework user experience with additional components, custom functionality, and corporate logos.

.AV Framework is compatible with the MPC3 series of 3-Series® media presentation controllers. Connect a supported Crestron A/V auto-switcher device or a virtual switcher device (via a compatible flat panel display or projector) to the MPC3 device for complete configuration and control.

This document provides instructions for setting up the .AV Framework program on the MPC3 device, as well as an overview of the setup screens and functions provided in the .AV Framework configuration utility.

NOTE: This document is current as of the .AV Framework 6.3 release.

The following supplemental documents are available at www.crestron.com/manuals:

• For more information on installing the MPC3-101 and MPC3-102, refer to the MPC3-101/MPC3-102 Quick Start (Doc. 8424).

• For more information on installing the MPC3-201, refer to the MPC3-201 Quick Start (Doc. 7876).

Operation

The .AV Framework touch screen user interface provides a collection of room scheduling and BYOD (bring your own device) presentation capabilities. The various screens that comprise the user interface are described in the sections that follow.

Display Overview

Each screen in the .AV Framework touch screen project provides the following features:

• A status bar that provides the room name and the time and date (set using the web-based configuration utility).

• A footer bar that provides buttons for navigating and controlling the system volume (if supported by the display device or the external amplifier).

The user interface theme can be set to the AVF 2.0 UI or the legacy AVF 1.0 UI. For more information on selecting themes, refer to “Touch Screen Custom Graphics” on page 24.

NOTE: The images in this section show the AVF 2.0 UI theme. The same features are

provided for the AVF 1.0 UI theme, but the layout of some of these features may differ between the two themes. Any differences are described in this document.

The following image shows a typical home screen (the project's default page) with the status bar and footer bar.

MP-B10/MP-B20

Connect a Crestron MP-B10 or MP-B20 media presentation button panel to the .AV Framework system in place of a touch screen for device routing and source control. A button panel can also be connected directly to the switcher device via a direct Cresnet network connection (MPC3-101/MPC3-102/MPC3-302 only) or using a Cresnet gateway.

NOTE: Observe the following points when connecting an MP-B10 or MP-B20:

∙ No more than two button panels can be added to the same configuration.

∙ If .AV Framework is powered off from the button panel, power on functionality is

disabled until after a 30-second period has elapsed.

∙ If .AV Framework is controlled using a button panel and a connected display device requires a warm-up or cool-down period, button panel functions are disabled until the warm-up or cool-down period has completed.

The scroll wheel on the MP-B10 adjusts volume level.

The .AV Framework configuration utility also provides screens that can be used to configure each button individually. When adding or editing a button panel, click Configure Buttons.

Edit Device Dialog Box - Button Panel

The Configure Buttons dialog box is displayed.

Configure Buttons dialog box. A drop-down menu is displayed when a button is

clicked.

Select one of the switcher device input channels from the drop-down menu to map that input to the button or select one of the provided functions to map that function to the button.

NOTE: When using the MP-B20 for source control, the device's 5-way navigation pad is

only functional when an appropriate source device input, such as a Blu-ray Disc player or a media server, is selected. Each button on the navigation pad is mapped to the appropriate function on the selected device's menu.

The default input names for the switcher device inputs can be customized in the configuration utility. For more information, refer to "Inputs/Outputs" on page 40.

NOTE: To view illustrations showing button locations on the MP-B10 and MP-B20, refer
