SystemBuilder from the Crestron website and examine the extensive help file. Configuring with SIMPL Windows NOTE: While SIMPL Windows can be used to program the QM-FTCC, it is recommended to use SystemBuilder for configuring a QuickMedia system. SIMPL Windows is Crestron’s premier software for programming Crestron control systems. - Page 30 The system tree of the control system displays the device in the appropriate slot with a default Net as shown in the following illustration. • Additional QM-FTCC devices are assigned different Net ID numbers as they are added. • If necessary, double click a device to open the “Device Settings” window and change the Net ID, as shown in the following figure.

View. Each signal in the symbol is described in the SIMPL Windows help file (F1). The buttons module is built into slot 03 of the QM-FTCC (refer to “C2Net Device, Slot 9” on page 26). It consists of a keypad that provides 10 to 20 buttons with LED indicators, and two bar graphs. -
Page 32: Adjusting The Qm-Ftcc Microphone Inputs
QuickMedia™ FlipTop Computer Center Adjusting the QM-FTCC Microphone Inputs Once a QM-FTCC is installed and configured, settings for gain, gating level, attack time and decay time should be set using the SystemBuilder finish tab. NOTE: Crestron recommends that you use the latest software to take advantage of the most recently released features. - Page 33 Reached Setting Microphone Gain The QM-FTCC provides variable gain for the microphone inputs. The following procedure is used to set the optimal gain for a microphone input. Use the Realtime Mode in SystemBuilder to control phantom power, gain and gate settings and to monitor the gate, normal and clip level indicators.
- Page 34 QuickMedia™ FlipTop Computer Center Setting the Gating Level The QM-FTCC provides an input level gating function that will mute a microphone signal when the input sound level is below a user-set threshold. This function can be enabled or disabled via software commands.
