Video Center: IM-WCCV

Introduction

Features and Functions

• A simple, affordable wall plate multimedia interface

• Streamlined user controls for foolproof operation

• iMedia Transport for fast and easy single-cable installation

• Supports XGA resolution up to 84 feet (25.6 meters), UXGA maximum

up to 34 feet (10.37 meters)

• Supports composite video signals

• Complete system setup in minutes using iMedia Wizard Software

The Crestron® iMedia products provide an extremely simple and affordable

multimedia presentation solution for small conference rooms and training rooms. No

comparable solution comes close to matching iMedia's speed and ease of installation,

intuitive operation, and incredibly low cost.

The iMedia Transport

The iMedia transport utilizes a single CresCAT™ CAT5e type cable, CresCAT-IM,

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 (25.6 meters) using iMedia, while higher resolutions up to

1600 x 1200 can be handled over shorter distances. 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.

Wall Plate Multimedia Interface

The IM-WCCV is an iMedia (IM) transmitter designed to install in a standard three-

gang electrical box, providing composite video, RGB, and stereo audio inputs for

connection to the output of a computer or AV source. Up to three IM-WCCVs, or

other IM transmitters, may be installed as part of a complete system to provide

multiple input locations within the room.

Simple Operation

Every IM system is easy and intuitive to use. A simple press of the VIDEO or PC

buttons on the face of the IM-WCCV selects the appropriate input, turns on the

projector (or plasma, etc.), lowers the screen or lift, and routes all the signals where

they need to go. The volume control affords easy adjustment of the audio level, and

the entire system can be turned off at any time by simply holding down either button

for five seconds.

For systems having more than one IM transmitter, selecting an input at a given input

location overrides the previously selected input at any other location. The audio level

for each input location is controlled individually by its respective volume control.

Application

The IM-WCCV is an IM transmitter. As shown in the following diagram, IM

transmitters provide input points for video and PC sources on an IM receiver.
