iMedia Wall Plate Computer &
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
Operations & Installation Guide – DOC. 6540A iMedia Wall Plate Computer & Video Center: IM-WCCV • 1
iMedia Wall Plate Computer & Video Center Crestron IM-WCCV
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.

Setup
Network Wiring
When wiring the network, consider the following:
• Use Crestron Certified Wire.
• Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
IM Wiring
Using a proprietary signal routing solution, RGBHV, audio, power, and control
signals are all transported using a single cable solution called iMedia.
The iMedia transport system port is capable of managing computer RGB and audio
signals simultaneously through one CresCAT-IM cable, simplifying installations.
Routing CresCAT-IM cable (low-skew CAT5e) is less expensive and a much
simpler solution for wiring iMedia systems than routing multi-colored, multiconductor 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 iMedia cable from output to input.
Installations are affordable and fast.
The receiver can accomplish frequency compensation on each input to achieve
correct operation. This compensation scheme is effective for CresCAT-IM cables as
long as the maximum skew of 15 nS per 100 meters is not exceeded.
NOTE: For proper operation and performance of every iMedia system, always use
CresCAT-IM cable.
