IMedia Receiver/Processor Crestron IM-RX1 & IM-RX3
This device employs iMedia (IM) technology, which utilizes a single
CresCAT-IM cable to transmit computer RGB and stereo audio signals to a
single projector or plasma display. The IM-RX1 and IM-RX3 provide a
frequency compensation adjustment that enables the transmission of a typical
XGA signal (1024 X 768 pixels at 60Hz) up to 84 feet. Higher resolutions up to
1600 x 1200 can be handled over shorter distances. Audio is transmitted
digitally at a 20-bit, 48 kHz resolution. The IM-RX1 and IM-RX3 are designed
to mount at the projector or plasma display to provide local display control,
LAN connectivity, and signal management.
The iMedia System
Through Crestron's exclusive IM port, the IM-RX1 and IM-RX3 decodes the
media, linking computer video (RGBHV) to the display device from IM wall
units, table units or flip top centers. Stereo program audio is delivered to a builtin 20-Watt (2 X 10 W) amplifier or line-level balanced/unbalanced output.
Onboard professional digital audio processing provides volume, balance, treble
and bass control.
The power for the remote transmitter(s) is provided from the IM-RX1 or
IM-RX3 receiver over the audio circuit of the UTP cable, allowing for a onecable solution that connects the receiver with the remote source(s).
Routing CresCAT-IM cable is less expensive and much simpler than routing
multi-colored, multi-conductor coax cable. All Crestron products using the
iMedia transport system are capable of sending and receiving iMedia signals via
CresCAT-IM cable. Installation of any iMedia device is as simple as installing
one set of iMedia wires from output to input. Installations are flexible,
affordable, and fast.
Up to three iMedia transmitters can be installed in an iMedia system. Pressing
the SELECT button on any iMedia transmitter makes that input active,
overriding the previously selected input. Holding the SELECT button for five
seconds powers down the system.
The pin assignment is based on the EIA/TIA 568B RJ-45 Jack standard.
To determine which pin is number 1, hold the cable so that the end of the eight
pin modular jack is facing you, with clip down and copper side up. When
looking down at the copper connections, pin 1 is on the far right.

Audio
Two amplified outputs providing up to 20 W of audio power (10 W per channel
into 8 speakers only) are also included. Line level balanced/unbalanced
outputs are also included for connection to an external amplifier. The amplifier
and line level outputs are volume controlled.
Display Device
The display device (e.g., projector) can be addressed via the COM or IR port for
control. On/off discrete power switching commands are available from the
extensive database.
Screen and Lift Control
Screen and projector lift control are included. You can choose from the
extensive database of manufacturers or design an interface for a particular serial
device. Two 2-pin isolated relay connectors are provided.
Room Sensor and RoomView™
The room options allow you to link your iMedia system with Crestron's
RoomView software, and allow you to include an XPanel interface for remote
administration. Four digital inputs are provided.
Video Resolution and Cable Length
The receiver can accomplish frequency compensation on each input to achieve
correct operation. This compensation scheme is effective for Crestron Certified
Wiring as long as the maximum skew of 15 nanoseconds per 100 meters is not
exceeded. Refer to the following table.

This eight-pin RJ-45 transport port is the input connection of the iMedia cable. It
carries audio and video signals over CresCAT-IM cable from an IM transmitter
(such as the IM-FTCC-B, IM-TCC, or IM-WCC).
NOTE: Always use CresCAT-IM cable to make iMedia connections.
Maximum cable delay skew is 15 nanoseconds per 100 meters.
Peaking Control
The peaking control is used during setup for video cable length compensation.
