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
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
Crestron MPS-100 Multimedia Presentation System 100
Ear Attachment for Rack Mounting (this image shows a 2RU device)
4. Repeat procedure (steps 1 through 3) to attach the remaining ear to the
opposite side.
NOTE: The sync input impedance and DDC feature should be set prior to placing
the MPS-100 in an equipment rack. For more information, refer to “Configuring the
RGB Input Ports” on page 23.
Stacking
Four “feet” are located on the bottom of the MPS-100 so that if the unit is not rack
mounted, the rubber feet can provide stability when the unit is placed on a flat
surface or stacked.
Hardware Hookup
Hardware Connections for the MPS-100, Front
Make the necessary connections as called out in the illustrations that follows this
paragraph. Refer to “Network Wiring” on page 18 before applying power. Apply
power after all connections have been made.
Crestron MPS-100 Multimedia Presentation System 100
NOTE: To analyze Cresnet lines, the C2N-ANLZ is required. For instructions, refer
to the latest version of the C2N-ANLZ Operations Guide (Doc. 6473).
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.
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…).
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
Crestron MPS-100 Multimedia Presentation System 100
Uploading and Upgrading
Crestron recommends using the latest programming software and that each device
contains the latest firmware to take advantage of the most recently released features.
However, before attempting to upload or upgrade it is necessary to establish
communication. Once communication has been established, files (for example,
programs or firmware) can be transferred to the control system. Finally, program
checks can be performed (such as changing a device ID or creating an IP table) to
ensure proper functioning.
While the next section provides an overview for communication, refer to
“Establishing Communications with the Control System” in the Crestron 2-Series
Control Systems Reference Guide (Doc. 6256) for connection details. If
communications cannot be established, refer to “Troubleshooting Communications”
in the same guide.
Establishing Communication
Use Crestron Toolbox for communicating with the MPS-100; refer to the Crestron
Toolbox help file for details. There are two methods of communication.
USB Communication
NOTE: Required for initial setup of Ethernet parameters.
USB Communication
PC RUNNING
CRESTRON TOOLBOX
• The COMPUTER port on the MPS-100 connects to the USB port on the
PC via the included Type-A to Type B USB cable.
• Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry using the
expected communication protocol (USB). When multiple USB devices are

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.
Crestron MPS-100Multimedia 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 ))

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.
