Addressing the growing need for a low-cost professional multimedia presentation
solution for simple meeting spaces, Crestron is now shipping the HD Scaling
Presentation Switcher & Extender (HD-MD-400-C-E). Winner of two Best of Show
awards at InfoComm 2016, the HD-MD-400-C-E is an HDMI® switcher and extender
pair that delivers “plug-in and present’ functionality. Now, with the arrival of the
.AV Framework™ Hub (CEN-AVF-HUB), the HD-MD-400-C-E is even more scalable
and easily managed as part of a larger enterprise platform. The low-cost AVF Hub
provides a bridge between the Crestron Fusion® Cloud enterprise management
service and up to fifteen HD-MD-400-C-E, enabling remote deployment and
management over the network.
The proliferation of huddle rooms, huddle spaces, and small meeting rooms across
the enterprise has driven the need for a simple low-cost multimedia presentation
solution that can be easily deployed and managed on the network. Part of the
DigitiaMedia™ product family, the HD-MD-400-C-E delivers on all counts.
Composed of a compact 4X1 auto-switcher and extender pair, the HD-MD-400-C-E
provides signal extension up to 230 feet, a built-in scaler to provide optimal image
display of a complete range of digital and analog signals, automatic switching for
HD resolutions up to 2K, display control, and Ethernet connectivity, all in a pair of
compact, easy to deploy devices.
The transmitter, which can be mounted under a table or inside a podium for easy
connection to laptops, mobile devices, and other media sources, features HDMI®,
VGA, and analog audio inputs. The receiver, mounted behind the room display or
above a projector, includes an additional HDMI input for connection to a Crestron
AirMedia® presentation gateway, enabling wireless BYOD presentation capability.
Installation can be completed in just minutes, with no custom programming needed.
Integrators simply connect the LAN port on the receiver to the Ethernet network for
easy setup and configuration via a Web browser. Essential controls and status
indicators are also provided on each unit for easy testing and troubleshooting
without a computer during installation.
With its built-in Ethernet connectivity, the HD-MD-400-C-E can be connected to the
new AVF Hub, which facilitates communication between Crestron Fusion® Cloud
enterprise management service and up to 15 rooms, without a control system or
programming. This enables technology managers to easily deploy, manage, and
support simple room systems over the network without a control system, and at an
amazingly low cost per room. Multiple AVF Hubs can be deployed throughout the
enterprise.
