The Multimedia Presentation System 100 (MPS-100) is a complete presentation

control and signal routing solution for boardrooms and classrooms. Integrating a

control system, multimedia switcher, audio controls and amplifier into a single two-

space rack mount package, the MPS-100 eliminates the need for separate

components without forfeiting performance or flexibility.

System Switcher

CAT5 AV connectivity

2 Web server

and SNMP support

The MPS-100 provides high-performance switching of two video and three RGB

computer sources to a single projector or plasma display. Composite, S-video,

component and RGBHV signals can be sensed and routed to the appropriate input on

the display device, with control of the display provided via Ethernet, RS-232 or IR.

Input signal detection is provided on every video and RGB input to enable auto-

switching functionality and provide device power status information to the control

system. Selectable sync impedance on each RGB input helps accommodate cable

runs of varying lengths.

Multimedia Presentation System 100 Crestron MPS-100

Touchpanel Output

A second discrete output is provided on the MPS-100 to feed a preview signal to the

system touchpanel or other monitor. This output is controlled separately from the

main display output, allowing a different source to be viewed on the touchpanel. The

touchpanel connection is facilitated through a choice of QuickMedia (QM) or

Crestron Home (CH) CAT5 Balanced Video outputs, simplifying wiring to a wide

range of Crestron

HDTV plus audio, while the CH output is limited to standard video and HDTV only

(dependent upon the capabilities of the touchpanel). RGBHV inputs are only

displayed on the QM output.

QuickMedia

The QM touchpanel output can also be used to feed signals straight to the primary

display device, providing a very streamlined, low-cost, long-distance wiring solution.

Crestron's exclusive QuickMedia transport transmits high-resolution RGB, HD

video, and stereo program audio signals up to 328 feet over a single inexpensive

CAT5e type cable. Just one CresCAT-QM cable and a QM receiver are all that is

required for complete signal routing and device control, eliminating all the bulky,

expensive cabling that would otherwise be needed.

touchpanels. The QM output supports high-resolution RGB and

Audio Features

Five stereo audio inputs accept balanced or unbalanced line-level signals from

computers and other program audio sources. To accommodate a wide range of

signals, adjustable input compensation is employed to help maintain consistent

volume levels when switching between sources.

In addition to volume adjustment, the MPS-100's main program output (PROG

OUT) includes adjustable bass, treble, balance, and mute. Professional balanced line

level outputs are provided, with mute relays for "thump" protection upon power up.

A separate "fixed-level" LINE OUT with electronic mute provides a second set of

balanced outputs to feed a recording device, codec, or assistive listening system.

The QM touchpanel output is controlled separately from the other audio outputs,

allowing a different program source to be monitored on the touchpanel, or output to

other audio equipment by way of an appropriate QM receiver or other QuickMedia

device.

Built-in Amplifier

A 40-watt amplifier (20 watts x2) is built into the MPS-100, with three models

available offering the choice of 8-ohm stereo, 70V mono (MPS-100-70V), or 100V

mono (MPS-100-100V) outputs. The term “MPS-100” is used throughout this guide

to denote all models. For larger rooms requiring more power, the MPS-100 supports

plug-and-play compatibility with Crestron's QM-Series amplifiers.

Front Panel Control

Out of the box, the MPS-100 front panel supports easy pushbutton routing of input

sources to each of the outputs, and audio volume adjustment using the volume

control knob. Dedicated buttons and indicators are also provided for separate control

of system power and projector power. In addition, five preset buttons are included

for custom functions such as lowering a projection screen, closing blinds, or

selecting a lighting preset.

The front panel label strips are easily customized using Crestron Engraver software

or standard 3/8" tape labels, allowing for the clear designation of each input, output,

and preset button. When selected, these functions will also appear on the LCD

2 • Multimedia Presentation System 100: MPS-100 Operations Guide – DOC. 6527

Crestron MPS-100 Multimedia Presentation System 100

display as generic names (Input 1, 2…), or as custom names (DVD, Podium PC,

Screen Up, etc.) which are easily entered using MediaManager Wizard software.

Easy setup of the MPS-100 is facilitated through the LCD display without

necessitating a computer. Together with four softkey buttons, four menu navigation

buttons and the volume knob, the LCD enables configuration of IP network, audio,

and other system settings. For security, the front panel controls can be password

protected or locked out.

2-Series Control System

Integrated into the MPS-100 is a Crestron 2-Series Ethernet control system complete

with Crestron e-Control 2 Web server and a host of RS-232, IR, digital input and

relay control ports for integration with third-party equipment. A basic AV

presentation room with projector, screen, keypad or small touchpanel, and wireless

remote control can easily be set up in minutes using the MediaManager Wizard

software. Or, a fully custom system can be programmed using SystemBuilder™ or

SIMPL™Windows® software. Either way, the MPS-100 works with Crestron's

RoomView Help Desk software, the industry's most comprehensive facility-wide

asset management solution.

Room Control Options

Without requiring any programming, the MPS-100 can be controlled simply using

Crestron's APAD LCD Controller or a selection of keypads such as the C2N-DB12,

CNX-B12, AND C2N-FTB. With custom programming, Crestron's complete line of

Isys® touchpanels and MediaManager FlipTops are supported. Equipped with an

optional CNXRMIRD IR receiver, the MPS-100 allows a third-party universal

remote to be used for a low-cost wireless control solution. Or, adding an RF wireless

gateway, infiNET™, or WiFi wireless LAN connection enables use of a wide range

of one-way and two-way RF wireless handheld remotes and touchpanels.

Multimedia Presentation System 100 Crestron MPS-100

Setup

Network Wiring

When wiring the network, consider the following:

• Use Crestron Certified Wire.

• Provide sufficient power to the system.

CAUTION: Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate how much power is needed for the system (http://www.crestron.com/calculators

• For larger networks, use a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain

signal quality.

For more details, refer to “Check Network Wiring” on page 68.

Ethernet

The MPS-100 also uses high-speed Ethernet for communications between the control system and a device, computer, digital media server and other IP-based devices.

For information on connecting Ethernet devices in a Crestron system, refer to the latest version of the Crestron e-Control



Reference Guide (Doc. 6052).

CAT5 Wiring

Category 5 (CAT5) wiring is a twisted pair cable designed for Ethernet networks. These networks operate at speeds of up to 100 Megabits per second (Mbps) using the 100BaseT standard. Crestron takes advantage of this specification for a variety of video applications.

Crestron recommends using CresCAT, CresCAT-D or CresCAT-Q wiring solutions.

The following chart shows the maximum recommended cable lengths for various signal formats.

Recommended Maximum Cable Lengths for Video via Crestron Certified Wire

FORMAT MAXIMUM DISTANCE

Composite 500 feet

S-Video 500 feet

Component 500 feet

For more information, refer to the latest version of the Crestron CAT5 Wiring Reference Guide (Doc. 6137).

QuickMedia Wiring

The Crestron QuickMedia cable (sold under the name “CresCAT-QM”) contains one CAT5E cable and one Cresnet cable in Siamese jackets. Installation of any QM device is as simple as installing CresCAT-QM wires from the output of one device to the input of another. Installations are flexible, affordable and fast. For more

18 • Multimedia Presentation System 100: MPS-100 Operations Guide – DOC. 6527

Crestron MPS-100 Multimedia Presentation System 100

information, refer to the latest revision of the Crestron MediaManager Applications Guide (Doc. 6244).

CresCAT-QM Cable

NOTE: Do not untwist the two wires in a single pair for more than 1/3-1/2” (0.84-1.27 cm) when making a connection. The twists are critical to canceling out interference between the wires.

The aggregate cable length of a signal path originating at the MPS-100 and terminating at a QM receiver must not exceed 328 feet (100 meters). Video signals may experience a loss of quality over very long lengths of cable. This phenomenon is due to the added resistance and capacitance of longer cable lengths and is not peculiar to either Crestron and/or QuickMedia systems. To ensure sufficient bandwidth, the maximum aggregate cable length should not exceed 328 feet. The use of lower-resolution signals may allow increased cable length but must be tested by the installer with the sources to be used. The QM pin assignment is based on the EIA/TIA 568B RJ-45 Jack standard.

NOTE: When transmitting S-video, luminance uses the green video pathway and chrominance uses the red video pathway. When transmitting composite video, the signal is carried on the blue video pathway.

NOTE: When using CresCAT-QM wiring, four additional wires are included for making Cresnet connections.

When connecting multiple QM devices, the route between a QM origination point (transmitter) and a QM endpoint (receiver) cannot have more than two midpoints (e.g. QM-MD7x2 or other QM switchers). Refer to the following diagram when configuring a QM network.

NOTE: Use CresCAT-QM to make QM connections. The cumulative skew over the entire length must be less than 22 ns.

Installation

The MPS-100 should be used in a well-ventilated area. The venting holes should not be obstructed under any circumstances. If the MPS-100 is hot to the touch, consider using forced air ventilation and/or incrementing the spacing between units.

To prevent overheating, do not operate this product in an area that exceeds the environmental temperature range listed in the table of specifications. Consideration must be given if installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly since the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient temperature. Contact with thermal insulating materials should be avoided on all sides of the unit.

The MPS-100 can be mounted in a rack or stacked with other equipment. Two “ears” are provided with the MPS-100 so that the unit can be rack mounted. These ears must be installed prior to mounting. Complete the following procedure to attach the ears to the unit. The only tool required is a #2 Phillips screwdriver.

WARNING: To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:

• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the

bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.

• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before

mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

NOTE: Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

To install the ears:

1. There are screws that secure each side of the MPS-100 top cover. Using a

#2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the three screws closest to the front panel from one side of the unit. Refer to the diagram following step 3 for a detailed view.

2. Position a rack ear so that its mounting holes align with the holes vacated

by the screws in step 1.

3. Secure the ear to the unit with three screws from step 1, as shown in the

following diagram.

Configuring the RGB Input Ports

Each of the RGB input ports feature a set of six DIP switches located inside the MPS-100. These switches are used to set the sync input impedance of each port and simulate the presence of a monitor (DDC) for each RGB input.

The sync input impedance can be set to either 1k, 500, or 75 ohms. The setting from the factory is 1k ohms and should work with most RGB sources. If the signal quality is poor, lowering the input impedance to match the impedance of coax cable may alleviate sync signal problems that are associated with RGB cables greater than the typical VESA standard (typically six feet).

For laptops that require the presence of a monitor to enable its video output, the MPS-100 has a selectable feature (DDC) that simulates the presence of a generic high-resolution monitor so RGB sources (such as a laptop computer) will transmit a signal even when an RGB device is not connected to the MPS-100 output. Changing the DIP switch setting can enable or disable this feature. The MPS-100 is shipped from the factory with the DDC feature disabled.

Finding the DIP Switches

NOTE: The sync input impedance and DDC feature should be set prior to placing the MPS-100 in an equipment rack.

The DIP switches that configure the RGB input ports are located inside the MPS-100. The only tools required are a #2 Phillips screwdriver and a grounding strap (or grounded workstation).

CAUTION: The MPS-100 contains ESD-sensitive devices. Perform the following procedure while wearing a grounding strap that is properly grounded or on a grounded workstation to avoid damaging the MPS-100.

1. Connect RGB sources and a monitor to the MPS-100 as described in

“Hardware Hookup” on page 21.

2. Remove the DIP switch access panel by removing the two screws located

on the bottom of the MPS-100. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws.

3. Lift the access panel shown in the following diagram to expose the DIP

switches. Each RGB input port has a corresponding bank of DIP switches.

Programming with Crestron SystemBuilder

Crestron SystemBuilder is the easiest method of programming but does not offer as much flexibility as SIMPL Windows. For additional details, download SystemBuilder from the Crestron website and examine the extensive help file.

26 • Multimedia Presentation System 100: MPS-100 Operations Guide – DOC. 6527

Crestron MPS-100 Multimedia Presentation System 100

Any program created for the MPS-100 with SystemBuilder will include the out-ofthe-box functionality in addition to any additional programming created with SystemBuilder.

Programming with SIMPL Windows

NOTE: While SIMPL Windows can be used to program the MPS-100, it is recommended to use SystemBuilder for configuring an MPS-100 system.

SIMPL Windows is Crestron’s premier software for programming Crestron control systems. It is organized into two separate but equally important “Managers”.

Any SIMPL Windows program written for an MPS-100 will contain all of the MPS-100’s out-of-the-box functions in a protected area of the program. The parts of the program that contain the out-of-the-box functions are locked and cannot be changed or deleted. When a program is compiled, the custom program plus the outof-the-box front panel functionality, including setup menus, are loaded.

NOTE: When programming an MPS-100 in SIMPL Windows, always begin with the example program and modify as required. To find example programs, refer to “Example Program” on page 28. Also visit Crestron’s True Blue Support on the web for more programming tips.

Configuration Manager

Program Manager

Configuration Manager is the view where programmers “build” a Crestron control system by selecting hardware from the Device Library.

• To incorporate the MPS-100 into the system, drag the MPS-100 from the

Control Systems folder of the Device Library and drop it in the System Views.

Locating the MPS-100 in the Device Library

Program Manager is the view where programmers "program" a Crestron control system by assigning signals to symbols.

Signals that are part of the MPS-100’s out-of-the-box functionality are locked and cannot be modified or deleted. Locked signals are grayed out in the MPS-100’s SIMPL Windows symbols. To prevent corruption of the out-of-the-box functionality, locked signal names should not be copied or driven to other destinations in the SIMPL Windows program.

NOTE: If using SIMPL Windows version 2.08.19 or later, signals that are part of the out-of-the-box functionality may be hidden from view. To view hidden signals in a program containing out-of-the-box functionality, select Display Out Of The Box Functionality (OOTBF) Programming in the “SIMPL Windows Preferences” window (Options | Preferences…).

Operations Guide – DOC. 6527 Multimedia Presentation System 100: MPS-100 • 27

Multimedia Presentation System 100 Crestron MPS-100

The symbol can be viewed by double clicking on the icon or dragging it into Detail View. A description for each signal in the symbol is described in the SIMPL

Windows help file (F1).

Switching Programs

If a custom program is loaded into the MPS-100, the MPS-100 will run the custom program when it boots up. To switch to the out-of-the-box program:

1. Press and release HW-R.

2. Press and hold SW-R until "Bypassing Custom Program, Running OOTBF"

is displayed on the LCD.

3. To return to the custom program simply press HW-R or cycle power.

Saving Settings

Settings such as tone/volume levels (out-of-the-box and custom programs) and input/output names (out-of-the-box programs) are stored in an xml and text file that can be recalled should an MPS-100 program need to be updated.

To save settings for later use, use Crestron Toolbox’ File Manager utility to retrieve the *.xml (where * can be “ootbf” for settings made when running the out-of-the-box functionality program or “custom” for settings made when running a custom program) and System Configuration.txt files from the NVRAM Disk directory. After the new out-of-the-box functionality program or custom program has been loaded, use Windows Explorer and Crestron Toolbox’ File Manager utility to place the appropriate *.xml and System Configuration.txt files in the NVRAM Disk directory and reboot the processor. For instructions on using Crestron Toolbox’ File Manager utility, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file.

NOTE: If switching to a different type of program (i.e. from out-of-the-box functionality to custom or vice-versa), the retrieved xml file can be renamed (ootbf.xml becomes custom.xml and custom.xml becomes ootbf.xml). The running program will import any relevant settings. Verify that all of the required settings are correct.

Example Program

An example program for the MPS-100 is available from the Crestron website (http://www.crestron.com/exampleprograms

Network Analysis

To assist with troubleshooting, you can use Crestron’s C2N-ANLZ Cresnet Analyzer (sold separately) to monitor the integrity of the Cresnet network for wiring faults and marginal system performance or other network errors. For more information on how to use the C2N-ANLZ, refer to the C2N-ANLZ Operations Guide (Doc. 6473).

Battery Replacement

A Lithium battery is used to power the system clock within the MPS-100. Under normal conditions, it will last for approximately 10 years. In the event that the clock fails, only an authorized technician should replace it. Refer to caution statement below.

CAUTION: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Check Network Wiring

In order to ensure optimum performance over the full range of your installation topology, Crestron Certified Wire and only Crestron Certified Wire may be used. Failure to do so may incur additional charges if support is required to identify performance deficiencies because of using improper wire.

68 • Multimedia Presentation System 100: MPS-100 Operations Guide – DOC. 6527

Crestron MPS-100 Multimedia Presentation System 100

Calculate Power

CAUTION: Use only Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment. Failure to do so could cause equipment damage or void the Crestron warranty.

CAUTION: Provide sufficient power to the system. Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate how much power is needed for the system (http://www.crestron.com/calculators

When calculating the length of wire for a particular Cresnet run, the wire gauge and the Cresnet power usage of each network unit to be connected must be taken into consideration. Use Crestron Certified Wire only. If Cresnet units are to be daisychained on the run, the Cresnet power usage of each network unit to be daisychained must be added together to determine the Cresnet power usage of the entire chain. If the unit is home-run from a Crestron system power supply network port, the Cresnet power usage of that unit is the Cresnet power usage of the entire run. The wire gauge and the Cresnet power usage of the run should be used in the following equation to calculate the cable length value on the equation’s left side.

Cable Length Equation

L = Length of run (or chain) in feet R = 6 Ohms (Crestron Certified Wire: 18 AWG (0.75 MM ))

or 1.6 Ohms (Cresnet HP: 12 AWG (4 MM ))

P = Cresnet power usage of entire run (or chain)

L <

40,000

Where:

R x P

Make sure the cable length value is less than the value calculated on the right side of the equation. For example, a Cresnet run using 18 AWG Crestron Certified Wire and drawing 20 watts should not have a length of run more than 333 feet. If Cresnet HP is used for the same run, its length could extend to 1250 feet.

Strip and Tin Wire

Add Hubs

NOTE: All Crestron certified Cresnet wiring must consist of two twisted pairs. One twisted pair is the +24V conductor and the GND conductor and the other twisted pair is the Y conductor and the Z conductor.

When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires carefully to avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a pin on the network connector and tin the twisted connection. Apply solder only to the ends of the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle. Insert the tinned connection into the Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three conductors.

For larger networks (i.e., greater than 28 network devices), it may become necessary to add a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain signal quality throughout the network. Also, for networks with lengthy cable runs it may be necessary to add a Hub/Repeater after only 20 devices.
