Crestron QM-RMCRX-BA QuickMedia™ Receiver/Processor QuickMedia™ Receiver/Processor: QM-RMCRX-BA Introduction Features and Functions The QM-RMCRX-BA combines a Crestron® 2-Series Ethernet-based control system with a QuickMedia™ input (receiver) and Cresnet® master port. The QM-RMCRX-BA is designed to mount at the projector or plasma display to provide local display control, LAN connectivity, and signal management.
QuickMedia™ Receiver/Processor Crestron QM-RMCRX-BA The QM-RMCRX-BA processes standard video (i.e., DVD, VCR, camera video), RGB video and audio signals through its proprietary QuickMedia transport port. The QuickMedia connection port is a revolutionary signal processing system that allows for transmitting and receiving any signal type (including video, audio, computer and microphone signals) via CAT5E type cable.
Crestron QM-RMCRX-BA QuickMedia™ Receiver/Processor QM-RMCRX-BA QuickMedia Audio/Video Block Diagram The QM-RMCRX-BA is an Ethernet control system that runs on the powerful 2-Series processor, based on Motorola’s 32-bit ColdFire® technology. I/O options include two bi-directional COM ports, four digital inputs, two Cresnet ports, one IR port, and one 10/100 Ethernet port. The QM-RMCRX-BA is shipped as a master controller, but may also be used as a slave.

QuickMedia™ Receiver/Processor Crestron QM-RMCRX-BA SW-R Pressing this button in combination with the HW-R button performs a system restart without loading the program (refer to “Establishing Console Mode on an Ethernet Slave” on page 24). Press HW-R momentarily while pressing and holding SW-R to reboot. Pressing SW-R alone while the system is running restarts the program.
Crestron QM-RMCRX-BA QuickMedia™ Receiver/Processor Setup Network Wiring CAUTION: In order to ensure optimum performance over the full range of your installation topology, Crestron Certified Wire, and only Crestron Certified Wire, should be used. Failure to do so, may incur additional charges if support is required to identify performance deficiencies as a result of using improper wire. CAUTION: Provide sufficient power to the system.
QuickMedia™ Receiver/Processor Crestron QM-RMCRX-BA NOTE: When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires carefully to avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a pin on the network connector, and tin the twisted connection. Apply solder only to the ends of the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle. Insert the tinned connection into the Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining screw.
Crestron QM-RMCRX-BA QuickMedia™ Receiver/Processor Mounting Positions of the Four Included Mounting Brackets NOTE: The MK-QM-RMCRX mounting kit is available for mounting the QM-RMCRX-BA to a pipe. Details can be found in the latest version of the MK-QM-RMCRX Installation Guide (Doc. 6247). Hardware Hookup Refer to the following hookup diagram and, aside from attaching power last, complete the connections in any order.
QuickMedia™ Receiver/Processor Crestron QM-RMCRX-BA Front Connections Rear Connections NOTE: COM B is shared for device control and serial console connection. NOTE: Use either the internal amplifier (SPEAKER) output or the AUDIO left and right line outputs, but not both. Using both induces noise. 18 • QuickMedia™ Receiver/Processor: QM-RMCRX-BA Operations Guide - DOC.
Crestron QM-RMCRX-BA QuickMedia™ Receiver/Processor Ground Wire Connections Proper grounding is required. Connect the ground from the QM peripheral (in this example a QM-WMC) to earth ground. Connect the Cresnet shield lead at the QM-RMCRX-BA control processor to the ground lead. The control processor chassis must also be connected to an earth ground (building steel). Refer to the following grounding diagram.

Crestron QM-RMCRX-BA QuickMedia™ Receiver/Processor Audio Mixer Signals SIGNAL TYPE AND NAME DESCRIPTION Digital input Saves the twelve mixing levels (four mixing levels each for the AUDIO L, R and SPCH output channels) to the preset given by when the input is held high. If the save is asserted at the same time as a recall, the recall takes precedence and the save is ignored.
QuickMedia™ Receiver/Processor Crestron QM-RMCRX-BA Audio Mixer Signals (continued) SIGNAL TYPE AND NAME DESCRIPTION Analog input Sets the MIC 2 mixing level on the AUDIO SPCH output channel. MIC 2 is mixed with MIC 1, LEFT IN and RIGHT IN, and routed to the AUDIO SPCH channel. Valid analog values range from -800d (-80dB) to 0d (0dB), adjustable in increments of 0.1dB (1d = 0.1dB).

Valid values range from 0% (-80dB) to 100% (+20dB).
Crestron QM-RMCRX-BA QuickMedia™ Receiver/Processor NOTE: Programming the graphic equalizer through SIMPL Windows may override the SystemBuilder software settings. For example, if the 12-band parametric equalizer mode is specified in SystemBuilder and the SIMPL Windows program selects/recalls filter #2, the system will allow the change. Filter presets can only be recalled from SIMPL Windows and not modified.
QuickMedia™ Receiver/Processor Crestron QM-RMCRX-BA Graphic Equalization Signals (continued) SIGNAL TYPE AND NAME DESCRIPTION Analog input Sets the trim preset number that will be saved or recalled. Valid analog values range from 1d to 10d. Out of range values are ignored. Analog input Sets the filter preset number that will be recalled when is held high. Valid analog values range from 1d to 5d. Out of range values are ignored.
Crestron QM-RMCRX-BA QuickMedia™ Receiver/Processor Here the feedback signals may have different values than their corresponding inputs. If goes high and is set to an invalid value (out of the 1 to 10 range) all trim settings will be cleared, and all signals will pass unaffected. This is the same as recalling a trim preset in which every trim band value is set to 0.
QuickMedia™ Receiver/Processor Crestron QM-RMCRX-BA Converting Programs and Modules Created for Other Systems A useful feature of SIMPL Windows is that you can convert a program created for another type of control system, simply by changing the target to a QM-RMCRX-BA. To do this you first open the program, and then replace the existing control system with the QM-RMCRX-BA.

Selecting a control system means that you are requiring the module to work there. “Module Header Information” Window After you convert each module in a program, you can convert the program as described previously: drag the QM-RMCRX-BA onto the existing control system in System Views and click Yes to confirm the replacement.

Crestron QM-RMCRX-BA QuickMedia™ Receiver/Processor Appendix B: QuickMedia Installation and Compensation Installation Notes You must pass audio through from transmitters to receivers even if you are not using the audio signal. The information required for auto-compensation is transmitted along with the audio. In addition, the QM Link signal indicates that the QM cable is connected and that an audio signal is present on the cable.
QuickMedia™ Receiver/Processor Crestron QM-RMCRX-BA Auto Compensation with a Self-Peaking Receiver Crestron's innovative self-peaking audio circuit eliminates the need to peak the audio signal. Without self-peaking the same peak and boost values are applied equally to the video and audio signals. When these signals travel the same path, this arrangement is satisfactory. However, when video and audio travel to a receiver from different paths, unequal cable lengths are created.
Crestron QM-RMCRX-BA QuickMedia™ Receiver/Processor Compatibility Charts Under certain circumstances, the audio and video may be acceptably peaked even though the audio and video path lengths are different. Because the audio signal is digital, and more forgiving than the video signal, it may be possible to peak the video and have functioning audio. It is difficult to predict outcomes because it is dependent on the difference in cable lengths, the video rates, and acceptable video quality.
QuickMedia™ Receiver/Processor Crestron QM-RMCRX-BA KEY: 9 = Good operation. 1. = Operation depends on video rates and if the audio and video cable lengths are closely matched. 2. = In these cases, if the audio and video (although from different sources), switch together consistently, the system will operate normally. If the audio and video switch inconsistently, operation then depends on the video rates and how closely the audio and video cable lengths match. * = Device with self-peaking.
