Test and Commission the AirMedia
Presentation System
Once AirMedia devices are selected and deployed in a properly provisioned network, and
PC applications and mobile apps are configured, the AirMedia Presentation System for
each room should be tested prior to commissioning of the device. The following
information and guidelines are provided as assistance in considerations for testing.

AirMedia Test Use Cases by User Experience

When testing AirMedia, use cases are typically split in priority as follows:
Desktop users
•
Mobile users
•
Testing the entire flow of the desktop and mobile AirMedia experiences helps ensure that
mass deployment works effectively.

Front of Room Experience

All AirMedia use cases center around the user's ability to access the AirMedia device
through the front-of-room experience screen. The front-of-room experience is provided
by PinPoint UX in AirMedia 2.0 devices, and by the legacy front-of-room experience in the
AM-100 and AM-101. Each AirMedia device can display connection information and
customizable backgrounds.
In simpler rooms such as huddle spaces, PinPoint UX is the default and should be used in
every case. Simpler rooms are typically where the only devices for presentation are the
AM-200, AM-300 or CCS-UC-1, along with any attached sensors, switches and panels.
For more complex configurations where simpler AirMedia devices are attached to (i.e.,
DMPS3-4K-250-C, DMPS3-4K-350-C, and other Crestron products that have large
numbers of inputs and/or use programming via control processors), it is important to
program and control the system so that the default front-of-room experience is set for
PinPoint UX.
There are some cases that do not allow PinPoint UX to be the default front-of-room
experience. In these cases, clear instructions for accessing the AirMedia and PinPoint UX
screen or the AirMedia connection information (such as address and code for room)
should be provided to users. Whenever controls such as buttons or panels are present,
they should be clearly labeled and highly visible so users can access AirMedia.
The customizable background feature is an effective way to give guidance to all
AirMedia users in any room and should be leveraged whenever possible. On AirMedia 2.0
devices, there are additional options for the connection address, including a "Custom"
option that allows for entry of something other than the IP address or host name of the
device. This can also be set to text instructions, URL shortening services, or anything else
an administrator may need to help the user connection experience.
