The MPS-300 is a complete presentation control and signal routing solution for
boardrooms and classrooms. Integrating the control system, multimedia matrix
switcher, mic mixer, audio processor, amplifier, and QuickMedia distribution center
all into a single 2-space rackmount package, the MPS-300 affords considerable
signal routing versatility and high-performance signal processing without the need
for separate components.
System Switcher
Right out of the box, the MPS-300 provides high-performance switching of two
video and three RGB computer sources to a single projector or plasma display.
Operations Guide – DOC. 6529B Multimedia Presentation System 300: MPS-300 •1

Multimedia Presentation System 300 Crestron MPS-300
Composite, S-video, component and RGBHV signals can be routed to the
appropriate inputs on the display device, with control of the display provided via
Ethernet, RS-232 or IR. Input signal sensing is provided on every video and RGB
input to enable auto-switching functionality and provide device power status
information to the control system. Selectable sync impedance on the RGB inputs
helps accommodate cable runs of varying lengths.
Versatile matrix switching inside the MPS-300 actually affords some additional
hidden flexibility, providing discrete outputs for RGB, composite, S-video, and
component signals. For instance, Outputs 1 and 2 can function as separate composite
and S-video outputs, or as a single component output; Output 3 can be used for
component, S-video, or composite signals; and Output 4 can be used for either RGB
or component. Each output is fed by a separate matrix crosspoint, so they all can be
active simultaneously and assigned any relevant input source.
QuickMedia™ Matrix
In addition to its conventional type video inputs and outputs, the MPS-300
accommodates additional sources and display devices via Crestron's exclusive
QuickMedia (QM) transport. Three QM inputs accept connections from QM Wall
Plates, FlipTop Boxes, and Distribution Centers, providing an abundance of
additional inputs for AV, computer, and microphone sources. Three QM outputs are
also provided, each independently controllable to feed multiple displays and other
devices.
QuickMedia provides a very streamlined, low-cost, long-distance wiring solution.
The QuickMedia transport transmits high-resolution RGB, HD video, stereo program
and microphone audio signals up to 450 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. A full range of QM transmitters, receivers,
and other products is offered by Crestron®to suit any application.
* For QuickMedia wiring use CresCAT-QM-P, CresCAT-QM-NP, CresCAT-IM-P, or quality
CAT5e/CAT6 cable with a delay skew of ≤15ns per 100m; the maximum aggregate cable length and
delay skew between any QM transmitter (origination point) and QM receiver (endpoint) is 450 ft
(137 m) and 22 ns; a maximum of two QM midpoint devices may be inserted in a given QM signal
path; exceptions apply, refer to each respective product manual for full detail.
Touchpanel Output
Any of the QM outputs may be utilized to feed a preview signal to the system
touchpanel. Additionally, one Crestron Home®(CH) CAT5 Balanced Video output
is included, its signal corresponding with the first QM output, providing for
simplified wiring to a complete range of Crestron touchpanels. Each 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).
8-Channel Microphone Matrix Mixing
Two gated microphone/line inputs are included on the MPS-300 complete with
software-switchable 48V phantom power and independently adjustable compression
and limiting. Up to six additional microphone signals can be brought in through the
three QM inputs, with 4-band speech-optimized equalization provided on all eight
mic channels. Sophisticated matrix mixing allows for six completely different mixes
of all eight microphones—three mixes feeding discrete “local” outputs, and three
additional mixes feeding the three QM outputs.
2 •Multimedia Presentation System 300: MPS-300 Operations Guide – DOC. 6529B

Crestron MPS-300 Multimedia Presentation System 300
Professional Audio Features
Five stereo audio inputs on the rear panel accept balanced or unbalanced line-level
signals from computers and other program audio sources. Additional audio sources
can be brought in through the three QM inputs. To accommodate a wide range of
signals, adjustable input compensation is employed to help maintain consistent
volume levels when switching between sources. Versatile matrix mixing allows the
selected program signal and the eight microphone signals to be separated or mixed in
any combination to feed three “local” outputs, each with its own unique mix.
Three discrete balanced line level outputs are provided, each with independent
adjustments for volume, bass, treble, and mute. The stereo (PROG OUT) and mono
(SPEECH) outputs are normally intended for driving external amplification, with
relay muting on each output to prevent “thumping” on power up. The record (REC
OUT) output allows for a completely separate stereo mix to feed a codec, recording
device, or assistive listening system. Ten-band graphic equalization plus 2-band
parametric equalization on each output eliminates the need for expensive outboard
audio processors, and up to 40ms delay adjustment is available on the SPEECH
output for proper loudspeaker alignment.
The three QM outputs are controlled separately from the other audio outputs,
allowing three different program sources and three different microphone mixes to be
monitored on touchpanels and output to additional audio equipment by way of an
appropriate QM receiver or other QuickMedia device(s).
Built-in Amplifier
A 40-watt amplifier is built into the MPS-300, with three models available offering
the choice of 8-ohm stereo, 70V mono, or 100V mono outputs. For large rooms
requiring more power, the MPS-300 supports plug-and-play compatibility with
Crestron's QM-Series 3-channel amplifiers, providing a complete solution for driving
a professional loudspeaker system with discrete program and speech channels.
Front Panel Control
Out of the box, the MPS-300 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 projector power. In addition, five preset buttons are included
for custom functions such as lowering a projection screen, closing blinds, or
selecting a lighting preset.
The front panel label strips are easily customized using Crestron Engraver software
or standard 3/8” tape labels, allowing for the clear designation of each input, output,
and preset button. When selected, these functions will also appear on the LCD
display as generic names (Input 1, 2…), or as custom names (DVD, Podium PC,
Screen Up, etc.) which are easily entered using the out-of-the-box functionality,
SIMPL™ Windows®software, or SystemBuilder software.
Easy setup of the MPS-300 is facilitated through the LCD display without
necessitating a computer. Together with four softkey buttons, four menu navigation
buttons and the volume knob, the LCD enables configuration of IP network, audio,
and other system settings. For security, the front panel controls can be password
protected or locked out.
2-Series Control System
Integrated into the MPS-300 is a Crestron 2-Series Ethernet control system complete
with e-Control®2 Web server and a host of RS-232, IR, digital input and relay
control ports for integration with third-party equipment. Anything from a basic AV

devices, can be programmed easily using Crestron SystemBuilder™ software. And,
the MPS-300 works with Crestron's RoomView®Help Desk software, the industry's
most comprehensive facility-wide asset management solution.
Room Control Options
Without requiring any programming, the MPS-300 can be controlled simply using
Crestron's APAD LCD Controller or a selection of keypads. With custom
programming, Crestron's complete line of Isys®touchpanels and MediaManager
FlipTops is supported. Equipped with an optional CNXRMIRD IR receiver, the
MPS-300 allows any Crestron IR wireless touchpanel or handheld remote to be used
for a low-cost wireless control solution. Or, adding an RF wireless gateway or WiFi
access point enables use of a wide range of 1-way and 2-way RF wireless handheld
remotes and touchpanels.
