IM-WCVI
Introduction
Features and Functions
• Separate interface panel for use IM-WCVP iMedia Wall Plate Computer
Center with Video Control Panel1
• Connects to IM-WCVP to create IM-WCCV-S Wall Plate Computer
Center with Video using CresCAT™-IM iMedia cable or other high
quality CAT5 cable (up to 40 feet)
• Connects PC and composite video (with audio) sources to iMedia systems
• Mounts in a standard, 2½ inch deep, double-gang electrical box
1. The IM-WCVI is part of the IM-WCCV-S. It must be used with the IM-WCVP.
2. For more information on CresCAT-IM cable, refer to “IM Wiring” on page 7.
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.

2-Piece Wall Plate Multimedia Interface
The IM-WCCV-S is an iMedia (IM) transmitter featuring separate wall plates for
interface and control. The interface panel (IM-WCVI) is designed to install in a

iMedia Wall Plate Computer Center with Video Interface Crestron IM-WCVI
standard 2-gang electrical box, providing video, RGB, and stereo audio inputs for
connection to the output of a computer or AV source. The control panel (IM-WCVP)
is a separate 1-gang wall plate, which may be installed up to 40 feet from the
interface panel.
Installing wiring for the IM-WCCV-S is extremely simple using CRESCAT-IM
cable. Up to three IM-WCCV-S's, or other IM transmitters, may be installed as part
of a complete system to provide multiple input locations within the room.
Foolproof Operation
Every iMedia system is easy and intuitive to use. A simple press of the VIDEO or
PC buttons on the control panel 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.
