Voice Calling & Audio Conferencing

• Mercury is a full-featured VoIP conferencing speakerphone that’s fully
compatible with major SIP-compliant phone systems. Its advanced
design provides highly-intelligible, full-duplex communication for every
participant around a conference table. Dialing and answering calls is
easy and intuitive using the large HD color touch screen. Corporate

[1]

directory access (LDAP) enables one-touch dialing from the customer’s
centrally managed directory.

• Pair Mercury with any mobile phone using Bluetooth® to make calls or
join a call in progress. Mercury instantly transforms a personal phone
call into a whole-room audio conference with clear, echo-free audio
and the ability to start and stop a call, adjust volume, mute, and display

[3]

caller ID on Mercury’s touch screen. Bluetooth-enabled phones appear
automatically on the touch screen, enabling instant connectivity with the

[1]

press of a button.

• Connect a laptop computer via USB to enable enhanced audio
performance for any softphone application running on the laptop.

• Mute the microphone by simply tapping the mute bar on top of the
Mercury device. Its extra-bright, bi-color indicator bar ensures that the
mic and mute status are clearly visible to the whole room.

BYOD Multimedia Presentation

• Connecting an HD display device to Mercury’s HDMI® output enables the
presentation of all types of multimedia from BYOD sources with ease.

• Its built-in AirMedia® gateway allows the wireless presentation of
content from a laptop, smartphone, or tablet device via the room’s
Wi-Fi® wireless network. Wired LAN connections are also supported.

• Any AV source can be plugged in via HDMI to present full-motion
HD 1080p60 video on the room display, with high-fidelity audio playing
through Mercury’s high-powered speaker.

CCS-UC-1 Mercury™ Tabletop Conference System

• Mercury behaves like any USB Audio device, enabling
use as a speaker and/or microphone for all types of
multimedia applications running on a laptop computer.

Videoconferencing & Web Collaboration

• Mercury can turn any space into a videoconference
room by simply connecting a laptop running
Skype® for Business, Cisco WebEx®, GotoMeeting®,
Slack®, or another web conferencing or UC application.

• Connect the laptop via USB and Mercury provides
enhanced audio along with a high-definition view of
the whole room through the included USB camera.

• No more huddling around a laptop to interact and
share content with remote participants. Connect the
laptop’s HDMI output to allow the whole room to view
content and camera images on the main display.

Sound Quality

Mercury’s advanced design facilitates perfectly natural
conversations with exceptional audio fidelity and pickup. Its 360°
quad microphone array faithfully captures voices at every seat at the table.
Its high-powered, full-range speaker produces full, rich and real sounding
audio for both voice and program material. Limes Audio TrueVoice™ AEC
technology achieves transparent full-duplex performance free of distracting
echo or noise. Wideband audio codec support allows for full-spectrum,
bidirectional voice communication.

Flexibility

Mercury’s unique sloped shape is not only attractive and unobtrusive; it’s
also functional, allowing for placement at either the center or head of the
table. Large or long tables can easily be accommodated by adding up to
two mic pods (sold separately), which may be daisy-chained or individually
home-run to the base unit. Each mic pod includes a remote mute button
and indicator.

[3]

Two Mercury models are offered to accommodate different applications
and budgets. The base package (CCS-UC-1 W/PS KIT) supports full SIP VoIP
speakerphone, Bluetooth, and USB Audio capabilities. The video package
(CCS-UC-1-AV W/PS KIT) adds capabilities for multimedia presentation
and videoconferencing, and includes a USB camera. Both models come
complete with all required cables and are powerable using either PoE+ or
the included 100-240V universal power pack.

[3]

HD Color Touch Screen

Its extra-large, high-definition touch screen makes Mercury easy for
everyone to use, whether dialing or answering calls, looking up contacts,
managing the room schedule, or connecting and controlling mobile
devices. The full-color user interface provides quick access and intuitive
operation, and affords a consistent user experience from room to room.

Workplace Integration

Mercury integrates directly with Microsoft Exchange Server® or Crestron

Fusion®, allowing seamless room scheduling and automation for any

number of Mercury-equipped rooms. Mercury welcomes attendees to the
room with a customizable on-screen confirmation of the scheduled
meeting, and provides gentle notifications as the meeting progresses to

[1]

[1]

[1]

show the time left and what’s scheduled next for the room. Using the touch
screen calendar application, the meeting can be extended or a new
meeting can be scheduled.

The Crestron PinPoint™ App can be used to locate and reserve any
available Mercury-equipped room in the facility. As you enter the room,
Mercury’s built-in PinPoint beacon detects your presence and provides
personalized feedback and connection options on your mobile device,
letting you instantly start your presentation. Mercury also works with
Crestron room scheduling touch screens installed outside the room, all
managed through Crestron Fusion.

Mercury also detects room occupancy using a patent-pending combination
of motion and voice activity detection. Its built-in passive infrared detector
initially senses when someone is present in front of the touch screen, and
then voice activity is used to maintain the room’s occupied status as long
as anyone in the room is talking. Occupancy detection provides numerous
benefits, such as automating the system to power down to save energy
when all parties leave, or making the room available on the calendar if no
one shows up for a scheduled meeting.

Management and Security

Mercury is an enterprise-grade appliance, ideally equipped for mass
deployment throughout any-sized corporate, university, medical, military,
or governmental facility. Cloud-based provisioning enables complete
network configuration in advance of hardware delivery, with touchless
updates following installation. Devices can also be configured individually
using a computer web browser. Crestron Fusion management enables
monitoring and logging of room and equipment usage, as well as
centralized help desk support. Advanced security features include 802.1x
authentication, Active Directory credential management, LDAP directory
management, SRTP, SSH, TLS, and HTTPS. Dual LAN ports allow VoIP or
AirMedia traffic to be isolated on a secondary network, and 802.3at PoE+
compatibility enables Mercury to be powered through its primary
LAN connection.

the system MUST be powered using the power pack. PoE+ cannot be used to power the
system if any mic pods are connected. When using PoE+, make sure the network switch
supports PoE+ (802.3at Type 2). Regular PoE (802.3af or 802.3at Type 1) cannot be used to
power the system. Crestron recommends using the CEN-SWPOE-16 16-port switch, which
supports PoE+. Please be aware, the CEN-SW-POE-5 5-port switch does NOT support PoE+
and cannot be used to power the system.

4. HDMI connections require an appropriate adapter or interface cable to accommodate a DVI or
Dual-Mode DisplayPort signal. CBL-HD-DVI interface cables are available separately.
