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.
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.
Multimedia Presentation System 300 Crestron MPS-300 presentation room with a single projector, screen, and keypad controller, to a fully custom touchpanel based system with multiple controlled sources and display 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.

Crestron MPS-300 Multimedia Presentation System 300 NOTE: When running the out-of-the-box program and connecting a projector screen, the “up” control lines should be connected to relay 1 and the “down” control lines should be connected to relay 2. NOTE: This product does not support Cresnet Analyzer software. If Cresnet analysis is required, contact Crestron’s True Blue Support. Balanced and unbalanced audio inputs/outputs are provided, utilizing five-pin terminal block connectors.
Multimedia Presentation System 300 Crestron MPS-300 Configure the RGB Input Ports Each of the RGB input ports feature a set of six DIP switches located inside the MPS-300. These switches are used to set the sync input impedance of each port and simulate the presence of a monitor (DDC) for each RGB input. The sync input impedance can be set to either 1k, 500, or 75 ohms. The setting from the factory is 1k ohms and should work with most RGB sources.
Crestron MPS-300 Multimedia Presentation System 300 DIP Switch Location DIP SWITCHES LOCATED UNDER ACCESS PANEL Set the DIP Switches 1. Referring to the following table, set the DIP switches of each RGB input port to the required sync input impedance and DDC functionality.
Multimedia Presentation System 300 Label the Buttons Crestron MPS-300 Use Crestron Engraver software to print custom labels for the MPS-300’s front panel buttons and LEDS. Crestron recommends printing on 100-pound paper. Paper weighing less than 100 pounds will tend to crumple while sliding in, while paper weighing more than 100 pounds may not fit. 30 • Multimedia Presentation System 300: MPS-300 Operations Guide – DOC.
