2. Transmission levels on the infrared – serial output connectors are in the 0 to +5 VDC range, which may not be compatible with all RS-232 devices. 3. The QM-RX1-2G can be powered via the 24 VDC jack or the NET port. Be sure to use a Crestron approved power supply as another may cause damage.
• Provide sufficient power to the system. CAUTION: Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate how much power is needed for the system (www.crestron.com/calculators). • For networks with 20 or more devices, use a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain signal quality.
This phenomenon is due to the added resistance and capacitance of longer cable lengths and is not peculiar to either Crestron and/or QuickMedia systems. To ensure sufficient bandwidth, the maximum aggregate cable length should not exceed 450 feet. The use of lower-resolution signals may allow increased cable length but must be tested by the installer with the sources to be used.
