The QM-MD16X16 is a 16x16 QuickMedia (QM) matrix switcher designed to
provide routing of up to 16 inputs from QuickMedia Wall Plates and FlipTop Boxes
to any of 16 QuickMedia Receivers. All signal routing is provided over CAT5e type
cable* via Crestron's exclusive QuickMedia transport, supporting the distribution of
high-resolution RGB, video, stereo audio and microphone signals up to a total of 450
feet end-to-end. Audio breakaway capability allows audio signals to be routed
independent of video signals.
Up to two QuickMedia Matrix Switchers and Distribution Centers may be cascaded
in a given QuickMedia signal path* to support larger system configurations. For
instance, a QM-MD16X16 may be used to expand the input capacity of a
QM-MD7X2, or multiple QM Matrix Switchers can be combined to support
applications such as room-combining with numerous inputs and outputs.
* For QuickMedia wiring use CresCAT-QM, CresCAT-IM, 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.
