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. This eight-pin RJ-45 port provides connectivity to a touchpanel with a CH input port or a Crestron device with a CAT5 video input. This port provides component, composite or S-video balanced output over CAT5 wiring.
This product is Listed to applicable UL Standards and requirements by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (E302724) As of the date of manufacture the MPS-200 has been tested and found to comply with specifications for CE marking and standards per EMC and Radiocommunications Compliance Labelling.
The MPS-200 also uses high-speed Ethernet for communications between the control system and a device, computer, digital media server and other IP-based devices. For information on connecting Ethernet devices in a Crestron system, refer to the latest version of the Crestron e-Control Reference Guide (Doc.
(0.84-1.27 cm) when making a connection. The twists are critical to canceling out interference between the wires. The aggregate cable length of a signal path originating at the MPS-200 and terminating at a QM receiver must not exceed 450 feet (137 meters). Video signals may experience a loss of quality over very long lengths of cable.
The MPS-200 can be mounted in a rack or stacked with other equipment. Two “ears” are provided with the MPS-200 so that the unit can be rack mounted. These ears must be installed prior to mounting. Complete the following procedure to attach the ears to the unit.
RGB Input Ports” on page 27. Stacking Four “feet” are located on the bottom of the MPS-200 so that if the unit is not rack mounted, the rubber feet can provide stability when the unit is placed on a flat surface or stacked.

View. A description for each signal in the symbol is described in the SIMPL Windows help file (F1). Switching Programs If a custom program is loaded into the MPS-200, the MPS-200 will run the custom program when it boots up. To switch to the out-of-the-box program: 1. Press and release HW-R.
CRESTRON TOOLBOX VIA USB CABLE • The COMPUTER port on the MPS-200 connects to the USB port on the PC via the included Type-A to Type B USB cable. • Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry using the expected communication protocol (USB).
CRESTRON TOOLBOX • Establish USB communications between the MPS-200 and a PC. • Enter the IP address, IP mask and default router of the MPS-200 via the Crestron Toolbox (Functions | Ethernet Addressing); otherwise enable DHCP. • Confirm Ethernet connections between MPS-200 and PC. If connecting through a hub or router, use CAT5 straight through cables with 8-pin RJ-45 connectors.
Multimedia Presentation System 200 Configuration & Operation The MPS-200 can be used for audio and video switching without any programming required. This is ideal for those that need a basic audio-video switching system. Prior to operation, the MPS-200 must be configured for use.
