For more information on internal memory, refer to "2-Series Memory & Directory Structure" in the latest version of the Crestron 2-Series Control System Reference Guide (Doc. 6256), which is available from the Crestron website (http://www.crestron.com/manuals). 2. Optional on AV2. 2-Series Engine At the heart of the AV2 & PRO2 is the powerful 32-bit Freescale ColdFire® processor. Crestron's exclusive enhanced real-time operating system makes the AV2 & PRO2 the fastest, most reliable control systems available. Dual Bus Architecture The AV2's & PRO2's unique dual-bus architecture affords ultra fast communications. The 40 Mbps Y-Bus provides a high-speed backplane for IR, serial and other integrated control ports. Additional control ports and interfaces like MIDI and digital audio processing may be added by installing up to three Y-Bus control Operations Guide ­ DOC. 5957B 2-Series Integrated Dual Bus Control System: AV2 & PRO2 · 1 2-Series Integrated Dual Bus Control System Crestron AV2 & PRO2 cards (expansion cage option required for AV2). At a blazing 300 Mbps, the Z-Bus supports Fast Ethernet with future support for other emerging technologies. Cresnet® Cresnet is the communications backbone for many Crestron touchpanels, keypads, lighting controls and other devices. The Cresnet bus is a simple, yet flexible 4-wire network that provides rock-solid bidirectional communication and power for up to 252 Cresnet devices. Cresnet Slave Mode Selectable Cresnet Slave Mode enables the AV2 & PRO2 to be configured as Cresnet slave devices, effectively transforming them into Cresnet expansion modules. Such flexibility can offer a cost-effective solution for system expansion, providing a host of additional control ports in a single module. Ethernet Crestron pioneered the IP-based control system to harness the vast possibilities of Ethernet and the Internet for remote control, monitoring, programming and diagnostics. The AV2 & PRO2 are designed to deliver the world's most advanced IP control solutions. A choice of single or dual port Ethernet cards enables a full-duplex 10/100 Ethernet connection with built-in Web server and email client and support for both static and dynamic IP addressing. Crestron e-Control®2 Crestron's award-winning e-Control 2 XPanel solutions offer the most flexible range of IP control possibilities available. Using a Windows® computer or CE/PocketPCTM PDA device, e-Control 2 provides an amazing control GUI that looks and behaves just like a Crestron Isys® touchpanel. Crestron RoomView® Every Ethernet-enabled 2-Series control system works directly with Crestron's exclusive RoomView Help Desk software for the industry's most comprehensive facility-wide asset management solution. SSL All Ethernet-enabled 2-Series control systems support SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), the industry standard for protecting sensitive network communications. NAT The AV2's & PRO2's onboard NAT (Network Address Translator) acts as a firewall and router to facilitate the configuration of a private control LAN with a single-point connection to the client's LAN (Dual-port Ethernet card required). Memory Expansion A memory card slot accessible on the rear panel allows for easy expansion of the AV2's & PRO2's internal memory using any Type II Compact Flash memory card up to 4 GB. Note that compact flash memory supports FAT file structure. 2 · 2-Series Integrated Dual Bus Control System: AV2 & PRO2 Operations Guide ­ DOC. 5957B Crestron AV2 & PRO2 2-Series Integrated Dual Bus Control System Front Panel Control (PRO2 only) The PRO2 includes a programmable front control panel with LCD display and control port status indicators. The PRO2's front panel serves as a ready user interface for system configuration and diagnostics and can also be custom programmed to enable menu-driven control capability.
