Introduction
This guide is designed to provide you with an introduction to the new Crestron
MediaManager™ product line, the next generation of simplified A/V room
switching and system control products. This document contains fundamental
information about the technology, available components, general system
organization, and application concepts of MediaManager systems.
MediaManager integrates all the following in a single family of products.
•
A/V device control
•
Facility-wide management
•
Simple installation
•
Low cost wiring
•
High quality signal switching, processing, and routing
The flexible MediaManager product line can address all of your A/V needs,
from a single room up to a campus-wide or facility-wide network. The
MediaManager solution is both scalable and adaptable as a new system or as an
upgrade to an existing system.
MediaManager can accept a traditional signal management solution with coax-
based signal routing and switching, or the more modern CAT5E/UTP
signal
routing technologies.
All MediaManager products incorporate integrated Ethernet control. This allows
control via LAN, WAN or the Internet, of the A/V equipment connected through
any MediaManager solution.
The QuickMedia™ Transport System
Using a new, proprietary signal routing solution, signals such as composite
video, S-video, RGBHV, audio, microphone and control, are all transported
using a single cable solution called QuickMedia™ (QM).
The QuickMedia Transport System port is capable of managing computer,
video, and audio signals simultaneously through one CAT5E/UTP wire,
simplifying MediaManager installations.
