Wall Plate Media Center Crestron QM-WMC
The QM-WMC is a Cresnet®network device that allows for easy
connection of audio, video, and computer equipment to a presentation
system using Crestron’s QuickMedia™ technology. The QM-WMC can
be installed in a wall or lectern using a 2½” (minimum) depth electrical
double-gang box and a Decora®style faceplate (not supplied). The
QM-WMC, like all other QuickMedia (QM) devices, can be easily
configured for a variety of applications using Crestron’s
SystemBuilder™ software.
All media and control signals can be routed via a single QuickMedia
cable. The QM-WMC can be combined in a multi-gang electrical box
with Crestron’s Media Center Microphone Input (QM-WMIC) for
microphone inputs or C2N-DB6/8/12 decorator wall panels for room
control functions such as source selection, lighting, and volume.
Installing the optional QM-WMIC Media Center Microphone Input into
the QM-WMC adds two Neutrik®Combo microphone inputs with
software enabled phantom power allowing microphone audio to be
delivered simultaneous to the selected audio program. Refer to the latest
revision of the QM-WMIC Operations & Installation Guide (Doc. 6245)
for more information.
Part Number Compatibility
Due to production changes, recently manufactured QM-WMC devices
are not compatible with specific QM-RMCRX devices. Similarly, newer
QM-RMCRX devices are not compatible with specific QM-WMC
devices.
To insure compatibility between a QM-WMC and QM-RMCRX, refer to
the following that lists part numbers for the QM-WMC along with
compatible part numbers for the QM-RMCRX.

contact Crestron’s Customer Support Group for replacement information.
Applications
The QM-WMC and QM-WMIC are part of the Crestron MediaManager
line of integrated presentation solutions. They are ideally suited to work
with Crestron’s MediaManager receivers and control processors in a
presentation environment and allow quick connection of a variety of A/V
sources to a presentation system. These devices are designed for
conference room, auditorium, and lecture hall applications, or anywhere
else where audio, video, or computer equipment needs to be easily
connected and disconnected from a presentation system or room control
system. The QM-WMC allows users to bring their own A/V devices to a
wall plate in a presentation room while taking advantage of the
auditorium’s audio and video capabilities. For more information on this
and other applications, refer to the latest revision of the Crestron
MediaManager Control, Switching and Management Applications Guide
(Doc. 6244) which can be downloaded from the Downloads | Product
Manuals section of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com).
