Up to two QuickMedia Matrix Switchers and Distribution Centers may be cascaded in a given QuickMedia signal path* to support larger system configurations. For instance, a QM-MD16X16 may be used to expand the input capacity of a QM-MD7X2, or multiple QM Matrix Switchers can be combined to support applications such as room-combining with numerous inputs and outputs. -
Page 6: Applications
Complete system operation can be made transparent to the end-user with all signal routing occurring under the command of the MediaManager control system. Control and monitoring of the QM-MD16X16 is also possible independent of the control system using its front panel pushbuttons and LEDs. Customizable label strips are provided to easily designate inputs and outputs by name using Crestron Engraver software or standard 3/8"... -

QM-MD16X16, and the tiering abilities of multiple QM-MD16X16s in a QucikMedia environment. Switching Abilities The QM-MD16X16 can be operated locally (Local mode) using buttons on the front panel, or remotely from a control system (System mode). For more information, refer to “Operating Modes” on page 22. - Page 8 Internal Cresnet Hub The QM-MD16X16 has an internal four-segment Cresnet hub for routing Cresnet data. Each segment operates independent of each other to allow the QM-MD16X16 to continue functioning in the event of a hub segment experiencing an electrical short or a device error.
- Page 9 Tiering Up to two tiers of QM-MD16X16s can be cascaded to provide up to 256 QM inputs through one QM-MD16X16 as shown in the following block diagram. Multiple QM-MD16X16s Cascaded to One QM-MD16X16 16X16 QuickMedia™ Matrix Switcher: QM-MD16X16 • 5...

75 watts of power to each group of QM ports to ensure that sufficient power is available for QM devices that are connected to the QM-MD16X16. Power for the QM-MD16x16 is jumped from the Cresnet input on the C2N-SPWS300. - Page 20 C2N-SPWS300 System Power Supply Operations Guide (Doc. 8190). NOTE: Power to the QM ports on the QM-MD16X16 can be applied using other configurations. The total power usage of each port group must not exceed the port group’s available input power.

Page 28: Problem Solving
Use the Right Wire In order to ensure optimum performance over the full range of your installation topology, Crestron Certified Wire and only Crestron Certified Wire may be used. Failure to do so may incur additional charges if support is required to identify performance deficiencies because of using improper wire. - Page 29 Cresnet power usage of the entire chain. If the unit is home-run from a Crestron system power supply network port, the Cresnet power usage of that unit is the Cresnet power usage of the entire run. The wire gauge and the Cresnet power usage of the run should be used in the following equation to calculate the cable length value on the equation’s left side.
