Prevent foreign objects from entering the device. All brand names, product names and trademarks are the property of their respective owners. ©2006 Crestron Electronics, Inc. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. THE APPARATUS SHALL NOT BE EXPOSED TO DRIPPING OR SPLASHING. OBJECTS FILLED WITH LIQUIDS, SUCH AS VASES, SHOULD NOT BE PLACED ON THE APPARATUS. WARNING: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER. THERE ARE NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. ONLY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL SHOULD PERFORM SERVICE. · · · · · The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. WARNING: THIS IS AN APPARATUS WITH CLASS I CONSTRUCTION. IT SHALL BE CONNECTED TO AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET WITH AN EARTHING GROUND TERMINAL. · · · IMPORTANT: The MPS-100 can be used with Class 2 output wiring. · Crestron MPS-100 Multimedia Presentation System

display Keypad, touchpanel, and wireless control options Internal power supply | two-space rack-mountable The Multimedia Presentation System 100 (MPS-100) is a complete presentation control and signal routing solution for boardrooms and classrooms. Integrating a control system, multimedia switcher, audio controls and amplifier into a single twospace rack mount package, the MPS-100 eliminates the need for separate components without forfeiting performance or flexibility. System Switcher The MPS-100 provides high-performance switching of two video and three RGB computer sources to a single projector or plasma display. Composite, S-video, component and RGBHV signals can be sensed and routed to the appropriate input on the display device, with control of the display provided via Ethernet, RS-232 or IR. Input signal detection is provided on every video and RGB input to enable autoswitching functionality and provide device power status information to the control system. Selectable sync impedance on each RGB input helps accommodate cable runs of varying lengths. Operations Guide ­ DOC. 6527 Multimedia Presentation System 100: MPS-100 · 1 Multimedia Presentation System 100 Touchpanel Output Crestron MPS-100 A second discrete output is provided on the MPS-100 to feed a preview signal to the system touchpanel or other monitor. This output is controlled separately from the main display output, allowing a different source to be viewed on the touchpanel. The touchpanel connection is facilitated through a choice of QuickMedia (QM) or Crestron Home (CH) CAT5 Balanced Video outputs, simplifying wiring to a wide range of Crestron® touchpanels. The 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). RGBHV inputs are only displayed on the QM output. QuickMedia The QM touchpanel output can also be used to feed signals straight to the primary display device, providing a very streamlined, low-cost, long-distance wiring solution. Crestron's exclusive QuickMedia transport transmits high-resolution RGB, HD video, and stereo program audio signals up to 328 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. Audio Features Five stereo audio inputs accept balanced or unbalanced line-level signals from computers and other program audio sources. To accommodate a wide range of signals, adjustable input compensation is employed to help maintain consistent volume levels when switching between sources. In addition to volume adjustment, the MPS-100's main program output (PROG OUT) includes adjustable bass, treble, balance, and mute. Professional balanced line level outputs are provided, with mute relays for "thump" protection upon power up. A separate "fixed-level" LINE OUT with electronic mute provides a second set of balanced outputs to feed a recording device, codec, or assistive listening system. The QM touchpanel output is controlled separately from the other audio outputs, allowing a different program source to be monitored on the touchpanel, or output to other audio equipment by way of an appropriate QM receiver or other QuickMedia device. Built-in Amplifier A 40-watt amplifier (20 watts x2) is built into the MPS-100, with three models available offering the choice of 8-ohm stereo, 70V mono (MPS-100-70V), or 100V mono (MPS-100-100V) outputs. The term "MPS-100" is used throughout this guide to denote all models. For larger rooms requiring more power, the MPS-100 supports plug-and-play compatibility with Crestron's QM-Series amplifiers. Front Panel Control Out of the box, the MPS-100 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 projec ...
