The iMedia Transport
The iMedia transport utilizes a single CAT5e* type cable to transmit computer RGB,
video, and stereo audio signals to a single projector or plasma display. A typical
XGA signal (1024 X 768 pixels at 60Hz) can be transmitted up to 84 feet using
iMedia, while higher resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 can be handled over shorter
distances. Composite video signals can be transmitted up to 218 feet. Audio is
transmitted digitally at 20-bit, 48 kHz resolution. Control and power signals are also
contained on the same wire, eliminating the need for separate control or power
cables.
* For iMedia use CresCAT-IM cable, or quality CAT5e/CAT6 cable having a maximum delay skew
of 15ns per 100m.
-in Web-server supports e-Control®2 and RoomView®
iMedia Receiver
Mounted at the projector or plasma display, the IM-RXV1 and IM-RXV3 receive the
iMedia (IM) signal from up to three IM transmitters, breaking out the RGB, video,

audio, and control signals for connection to the display device. Adjustable bandwidth
compensation is provided to maximize image quality over long cable runs.
Integrated Audio
The IM-RXV1 and IM-RXV3 include a built-in 20 watt stereo amplifier to drive a
pair of 8 ohm speakers. Balanced line-level outputs are also provided to allow the
audio signal to be connected directly to inputs on the display device or fed to a pair
of powered speakers. Onboard digital signal processing affords adjustment of master
volume, bass, treble and balance settings at setup.
Display Control
The IM-RXV1 and IM-RXV3 contain both IR and bidirectional RS-232 ports to
enable full control of the display device. Two relay ports are also included for
control of a projection screen or lift. In addition, the four digital input ports can
accept the direct connection of room occupancy sensors and power sensors for
enhanced automation and monitoring.
e-Control®2 and RoomView®
Despite its simple design and low cost, the IM-RXV1 and IM-RXV3 support
Crestron's powerful e-Control 2 XPanel and RoomView applications, delivering the
industry's best help desk and resource management solution for any number of rooms
equipped with iMedia.
Fast, Easy Setup
System setup takes mere minutes using iMedia Wizard software, providing easy
start-to-finish configuration, adjustment, and documentation.
Applications
The IM-RXV1 and IM-RXV3 are part of the Crestron® iMedia line of network
devices, room control systems and signal routing solutions. The line of iMedia
devices includes receivers and transmitters. Consult the Crestron website for a
complete and current listing of the iMedia product line.
NOTE: The composite video output of the IM-RXV1 and IM-RXV3 are not
enabled when using the iMedia transmitters without composite video inputs.
The IM-RXV1 and IM-RXV3 can be placed on a table or mounted to a surface using
the included brackets. These receivers can also be mounted to a pipe using the
optional pole mount kit MK-IM-RX.
NOTE: The IM-RXV1 and IM-RXV3 are not Cresnet
The IM-RXV1 and IM-RXV3 are part of a family of compatible iMedia devices, all
capable of working together to put on simple to complex media presentations. The
following diagram shows the interconnections.
