Crestron's iMedia provides an extremely simple and affordable multimedia presentation control solution for small conference rooms and training rooms. No comparable solution comes close to matching iMedia's speed and ease of installation, intuitive operation, and network manageability at such an incredibly low cost.

The iMedia Transport

The iMedia transport utilizes a single CAT5e* type cable to transmit computer RGB, video, and stereo audio signals to a single projector or plasma display. A typical XGA signal (1024 X 768 pixels at 60Hz) can be transmitted up to 84 feet using iMedia, while higher resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 can be handled over shorter distances. Audio is transmitted digitally at 20-bit, 48 kHz resolution. Control and power signals are also contained on the same wire, eliminating the need for separate control or power cables.

Wall Plate Computer Interface

The IM-WCC-M is an iMedia (IM) transmitter designed to install in a standard 2-gang electrical box, providing RGB and stereo audio inputs for connection to the output of a computer source. Installing wiring for the IM-WCC-M is extremely simple requiring just a single CresCAT-IM cable. Up to three IM-WCC-M's, or other IM transmitters, may be installed as part of a complete system to provide multiple input locations within the room.

Foolproof Operation

Every iMedia system is easy and intuitive to use. A single press of the large SELECT button on the face of the IM-WCC-M lowers the screen or lift, turns on the projector (or plasma, etc.) and routes the connected computer signal to the appropriate input. The front panel volume control affords easy adjustment of the audio level for the computer input. When used with an IM-RXV-M series receiver, the system's microphone level can be adjusted by holding the SELECT button and turning the VOLUME knob. The entire system can be turned off at any time by simply holding the SELECT button for 5 seconds.

For systems having more than one IM transmitter, selecting an input at a given input location overrides the previously selected input at any other location. The audio level for each input location is controlled individually by its respective volume control.
