all into a single 2-space rackmount package, the MPS-300 affords considerable

signal routing versatility and high-performance signal processing without the need

for separate components.

2 Web server

CAT5 AV outputs

System Switcher

Right out of the box, the MPS-300 provides high-performance switching of two

video and three RGB computer sources to a single projector or plasma display.

Operations Guide – DOC. 6529B Multimedia Presentation System 300: MPS-300 • 1

Multimedia Presentation System 300 Crestron MPS-300

Composite, S-video, component and RGBHV signals can be routed to the

appropriate inputs on the display device, with control of the display provided via

Ethernet, RS-232 or IR. Input signal sensing 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 the RGB inputs

helps accommodate cable runs of varying lengths.

Versatile matrix switching inside the MPS-300 actually affords some additional

hidden flexibility, providing discrete outputs for RGB, composite, S-video, and

component signals. For instance, Outputs 1 and 2 can function as separate composite

and S-video outputs, or as a single component output; Output 3 can be used for

component, S-video, or composite signals; and Output 4 can be used for either RGB

or component. Each output is fed by a separate matrix crosspoint, so they all can be

active simultaneously and assigned any relevant input source.

QuickMedia™ Matrix

In addition to its conventional type video inputs and outputs, the MPS-300

accommodates additional sources and display devices via Crestron's exclusive

QuickMedia (QM) transport. Three QM inputs accept connections from QM Wall

Plates, FlipTop Boxes, and Distribution Centers, providing an abundance of

additional inputs for AV, computer, and microphone sources. Three QM outputs are

also provided, each independently controllable to feed multiple displays and other

devices.

QuickMedia provides a very streamlined, low-cost, long-distance wiring solution.

The QuickMedia transport transmits high-resolution RGB, HD video, stereo program

and microphone audio signals up to 450 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. A full range of QM transmitters, receivers,

and other products is offered by Crestron

* For QuickMedia wiring use CresCAT-QM-P, CresCAT-QM-NP, CresCAT-IM-P, or quality

CAT5e/CAT6 cable with a delay skew of ≤15ns per 100m; the maximum aggregate cable length and delay skew between any QM transmitter (origination point) and QM receiver (endpoint) is 450 ft (137 m) and 22 ns; a maximum of two QM midpoint devices may be inserted in a given QM signal path; exceptions apply, refer to each respective product manual for full detail.

to suit any application.

Touchpanel Output

Any of the QM outputs may be utilized to feed a preview signal to the system

touchpanel. Additionally, one Crestron Home

is included, its signal corresponding with the first QM output, providing for

simplified wiring to a complete range of Crestron touchpanels. Each QM output

supports high-resolution RGB and HDTV plus audio, while the CH output is limited

to standard video and HDTV only (dependent upon the capabilities of the

touchpanel).

(CH) CAT5 Balanced Video output

8-Channel Microphone Matrix Mixing

Two gated microphone/line inputs are included on the MPS-300 complete with

software-switchable 48V phantom power and independently adjustable compression

and limiting. Up to six additional microphone signals can be brought in through the

three QM inputs, with 4-band speech-optimized equalization provided on all eight

mic channels. Sophisticated matrix mixing allows for six completely different mixes

of all eight microphones—three mixes feeding discrete “local” outputs, and three

additional mixes feeding the three QM outputs.

2 • Multimedia Presentation System 300: MPS-300 Operations Guide – DOC. 6529B

Crestron MPS-300 Multimedia Presentation System 300

Professional Audio Features

Five stereo audio inputs on the rear panel accept balanced or unbalanced line-level

signals from computers and other program audio sources. Additional audio sources

can be brought in through the three QM inputs. To accommodate a wide range of

signals, adjustable input compensation is employed to help maintain consistent

volume levels when switching between sources. Versatile matrix mixing allows the

selected program signal and the eight microphone signals to be separated or mixed in

any combination to feed three “local” outputs, each with its own unique mix.

Three discrete balanced line level outputs are provided, each with independent

adjustments for volume, bass, treble, and mute. The stereo (PROG OUT) and mono

(SPEECH) outputs are normally intended for driving external amplification, with

relay muting on each output to prevent “thumping” on power up. The record (REC

OUT) output allows for a completely separate stereo mix to feed a codec, recording

device, or assistive listening system. Ten-band graphic equalization plus 2-band

parametric equalization on each output eliminates the need for expensive outboard

audio processors, and up to 40ms delay adjustment is available on the SPEECH

output for proper loudspeaker alignment.

The three QM outputs are controlled separately from the other audio outputs,

allowing three different program sources and three different microphone mixes to be

monitored on touchpanels and output to additional audio equipment by way of an

appropriate QM receiver or other QuickMedia device(s).

Built-in Amplifier

A 40-watt amplifier is built into the MPS-300, with three models available offering

the choice of 8-ohm stereo, 70V mono, or 100V mono outputs. For large rooms

requiring more power, the MPS-300 supports plug-and-play compatibility with

Crestron's QM-Series 3-channel amplifiers, providing a complete solution for driving

a professional loudspeaker system with discrete program and speech channels.

Front Panel Control

Out of the box, the MPS-300 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

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

Screen Up, etc.) which are easily entered using the out-of-the-box functionality,

SIMPL™ Windows

Easy setup of the MPS-300 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.

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

S-video 500 feet

Component 500 feet

Crestron MPS-300 Multimedia Presentation System 300

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 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-300 and terminating at a QM receiver must not exceed 450 feet (137 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 450 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-300 should be used in a well-ventilated area. The venting holes should not be obstructed under any circumstances. If the MPS-300 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-300 can be mounted in a rack or stacked with other equipment. Two “ears” are provided with the MPS-300 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-300 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.
