8X8 QuickMedia™ Matrix Switcher Crestron QM-MD8X8
Programming with SIMPL Windows
NOTE: While SIMPL Windows can be used to program the QM-MD8X8, it is
recommended to use SystemBuilder and Digital Media Tools software for
configuring and tuning a QuickMedia system.
SIMPL Windows is Crestron’s premier software for programming Crestron control
systems. It is organized into two separate, but equally important “Managers”.
Configuration Manager
Configuration Manager is the view where programmers “build” a Crestron control
system by selecting hardware from the Device Library.
• To incorporate the QM-MD8X8 into the system, drag the QM-MD8X8
from the Cresnet Control Modules | QM Series folder of the Device Library
and drop it in the System Views.
Locating the QM-MD8X8 in the Device Library
