QuickMedia® Receiver w/Audio

The QM-RX1-2G is a QuickMedia (QM) receiver designed to enable cost-effective AV signal routing and control as part of a complete MediaManager AV presentation system. Using the Crestron exclusive QuickMedia transport, the QM-RX1-2G receives RGB, video, and audio signals over a single inexpensive CAT5e type cable* from a QM Wall Plate, FlipTop Box, or Distribution Center, or from a MPS Multimedia Presentation System. Its low-profile design makes the QM-RX1-2G perfect for installation behind a flat panel display or above a ceiling mounted projector. It mounts to a standard 2-gang US, UK, or European electrical box and sticks out only one inch from the surface. Connections for the display device and speakers are all positioned on the top and bottom of the receiver, while the QuickMedia cable and screen/lift connections are made behind the unit within the electrical box. A second set of speaker connections is also provided on the back. The ingenious QuickMedia transport routes all audio, video, and RGB computer signals over a single inexpensive CAT5e type cable*. Computer resolutions up to 1920 X 1200 pixels at 60Hz are supported over cable runs up to 450 feet. Stereo audio and microphone signals are transmitted digitally with high-performance 24-bit resolution. QuickMedia dramatically simplifies system design and installation, affording a higher level of performance at a lower overall cost. Mounted at the video display or projector location, the QM-RX1-2G receives the QuickMedia signal from any QM Transmitter, Distribution Center, or MPS system, breaking out each media signal to its respective format to feed the AV inputs on the display device. Wiring for the QM-RX1-2G is extremely simple requiring just a single CresCAT®QM cable (sold separately). Separate composite, S-Video, component, and RGBHV outputs deliver high-quality video, HDTV, and high-resolution computer graphics to the display device. Signal routing occurs automatically under the command of the control system based upon the input source selected at the QM transmitter. Software-controllable compensation maximizes image quality over long cable runs. In addition to video and RGB, the QuickMedia transport carries four channels of 24-bit digital audio comprising a stereo program signal and two discrete microphone signals. Within the QM-RX1-2G, each of the two incoming microphone signals is processed by its own 4-band speech-optimized graphic equalizer. Versatile 4X2 mixing allows the mic signals and stereo program signal to be precisely mixed and routed to the stereo program output. The balanced line-level outputs can be connected directly to inputs on the display device or used to feed a separate amplifier or external powered speakers. A built-in 30 watt stereo amplifier is also provided to drive a pair of speakers directly.
