Crestron V24-IMCW-C Interface Module for V24R-C and V24RL-C
Interface Module for V24R-C and
V24RL-C: V24-IMCW-C
Introduction
The V24-IMCW-C is an interface module designed for use with a
V24R-C or V24RL-C V-Panel™ 24” HD Touch Screen Display. It
affords a convenient, pluggable connection for the touch screen,
providing front panel jacks for DigitalMedia 8G+™ (DM 8G+™) and
power. On the rear is a DM 8G+ pass-through jack for connection to a
DM 8G+ transmitter or switcher
V24-IMCW-C by an external power pack
either the front or rear panel.
Every V24R-C and V24RL-C touch screen ships with one V24-IMCW-C
included. The V24-IMCW-C may also be purchased separately for use
with a V24R-WALL-C touch screen.
Using the hardware provided, the V24-IMCW-C can be mounted in a
1-gang electrical box, to a flat surface or to a 19-inch rack rail.
1. For DM 8G+ wiring, use Crestron® DM-CBL-8G DigitalMedia 8G™ cable or
generic CAT5e (or better) UTP or STP. Maximum wire length for DM 8G+ is
330 feet (100 meters) between devices. Shielded cable and connectors are
recommended to safeguard against unpredictable environmental electrical noise,
which may impact performance at resolutions above 1080p. All wire and cables
sold separately. Refer to the DigitalMedia™ Design Guide (Doc. 4546) for
complete system design guidelines. It is available from the Crestron Web site
(www.crestron.com/dmresources
2. Item(s) sold separately or included with touch screen display.
