  • Portable or rack-mount QuickMedia interface
  • RGB, video, S-Video, component & audio inputs
  • Video input signal sensing

The QM-TX provides a low-cost multimedia interface solution for QuickMedia®-based MediaManager systems. As a portable or rack-mounted alternative to Crestron's popular QM FlipTops and Wallplates, the QM-TX can be used in a variety of applications to send audio, video, and computer signals to one or more projectors, plasmas and audio amplifiers using Crestron's exclusive single-wire QuickMedia transport.

Installed in a central equipment rack, the QM-TX is ideal for converting the output of a conventional matrix or system switcher to QuickMedia for transmission to a QM Receiver or Distribution Center using just a single inexpensive CresCAT™QM cable. It's also the perfect portable interface, requiring just one RJ45 plus a 4-pin Cresnet connection in any standard wall plate or floor box to provide an extremely simple yet versatile AV or computer input anywhere in the room. Since it's powered by Cresnet, it doesn't even require a connection to AC power.

Five BNC's are provided on the QM-TX to accept composite, S-Video, component, HDTV, or RGB signals (up to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz). Balanced stereo line-level audio signals are transmitted simultaneously with 24-bit digital resolution. Video formats can be switched dynamically and automatically under system control, and complete MediaManager systems using the QM-TX can be configured easily for a variety of applications using Crestron SystemBuilder™ software. The QM-TX is 1/2-space rack-mountable using the optional ST-RMK kit.
