Routing CresCAT-IM cable (low-skew CAT5e) is less expensive and a much simpler solution for the wiring of iMedia systems than routing multi-colored, multi- conductor coax cable. All Crestron products using the iMedia transport system are capable of sending and receiving iMedia signals via CresCAT-IM cable. Installation of any iMedia device is as simple as installing one iMedia cable from output to input.

The RGB signal connected to the IM transmitter is delivered to the display device (e.g., projector) via the RGBHV output of an IM receiver. The composite video signal connected to the IM transmitter is delivered to the display device (e.g., projector) via the composite video output of an IM receiver.
NOTE: The MK-IM-RX mounting kit is also available for mounting the IM-RXV1 or IM-RXV3 to a pipe. Details can be found in the latest version of MK-IM-RX Installation Guide (Doc. 6451) which is available from the Crestron website (http://www.crestron.com/manuals).
