    Crestron MPS-250 Multimedia Presentation Multimedia Presentation System 250: MPS-250 System 250: MPS-250 Introduction Introduction The MPS-250 is a complete presentation control and signal routing solution for boardrooms and classrooms. Integrating the control system, multimedia matrix switcher, mic mixer, audio processor, amplifier, and QuickMedia all into a single 2-space rackmount package, the MPS-250 affords considerable signal routing versatility and high-performance signal processing without the need for separate components.
  • Page 6 Multimedia Presentation System 250 System Switcher Right out of the box, the MPS-250 provides high-performance switching of two video and three RGB computer sources to a single projector or plasma display. 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.

  • Page 7: Front Panel Control

    Crestron MPS-250 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 QM input. To accommodate a wide range of signals, adjustable input compensation is employed to help maintain consistent volume levels when switching between sources.
