QM-MD4X4
4x4 QuickMedia® Matrix Switcher
The QM-MD4X4 is a 4 x 4 QuickMedia matrix switcher designed to provide versatile routing of up to 4 inputs from QuickMedia Wall Plates and FlipTop Boxes to any of 4 QuickMedia Receivers. All signal routing is provided over inexpensive CAT5e type cable* via Crestron's exclusive QuickMedia transport, supporting the distribution of high-resolution RGB, video, stereo audio and microphone signals up to a total of 450 feet end-to-end. Audio breakaway capability allows audio signals to be routed independent of video signals.
Up to two QuickMedia Matrix Switchers, Distribution Centers, and Distribution Amplifiers may be cascaded in a given QuickMedia signal path* to support larger system configurations. For instance, a QM-MD4X4 may be used to expand the input capacity of a QM-MD7X2, or multiple QM Matrixes can be combined to support applications such as room-combining with numerous inputs and outputs.
Regardless of the configuration, complete system operation can be made transparent to the end-user with all signal routing occurring smoothly under the command of the MediaManager control system. Control and monitoring of the QM-MD4X4 is also possible independent of the control system using its front panel pushbuttons and LEDs. Customizable label strips are provided to easily designate inputs and outputs by name using Crestron Engraver software or standard 3/8" tape labels. For security, the front panel controls can be locked out.
Every QuickMedia port on the rear panel is accompanied by a Cresnet port with 24VDC power distribution built in to simplify termination of the QuickMedia and Cresnet wiring.
