QM-FTMC

Introduction

Features and Functions

The QM-FTMC FlipTop Computer Center is part of the Crestron

MediaManager™ line of network devices, room control systems and signal

routing solutions. It is available in six different models.

The international models accommodate a wide variety of international AC

adaptors. For simplicity within this guide, the color/button suffix and

international designation are omitted and QM-FTMC is used except where

noted.

Functional Summary

• Built-in engravable* keypad with 10 to 20 buttons and LEDs

• 3 X 1 video switch with sync sensing (one composite connector, one

S-video connector, one RGBHV connector)

• 3 X 1 audio switch (two stereo RCA, one stereo 1/8” mini jack) with

audio breakaway

• One Ethernet passthrough port

• One AC power passthrough

• Two Cresnet connectors (on bottom side)

• Two Microphone inputs with phantom power (on the bottom side)

• One QuickMedia RJ-45 connector (on the bottom side)

* As an option, custom-engraved buttons can be designed and obtained by using the

Crestron Engraver software. Version 2.2.2.3 and Crestron Database 16.3.4 or later are

available from the Crestron website (www.crestron.com).

FlipTop Media Center Crestron QM-FTMC

This Cresnet®device uses QuickMedia™ technology to facilitate an

uncomplicated connection of audio, video, and computer equipment. All media

and control signals are routed via a single QuickMedia cable for simple

installation. A complete integrated room solution is created with the addition of

a QuickMedia receiver (such as the QM-RMCRX-BA) and optional keypads or

touchpanels.

NOTE: The QM-FTMC is compatible with 2-Series control systems only.

The QM-FTMC is equipped with an auto-sense feature that allows the installer

to pass RGB, video, and S-video video signals (along with the appropriate audio

signals) through the system to check the wiring before a program has been

installed in the control system. Once a control program is running, this feature is

disabled.

QuickMedia Transport System

Using a new, proprietary signal routing solution, signals such as composite

video, S-video, RGBHV, audio, and microphone are all transported using a

single cable solution called QuickMedia (QM).

The QM transport system port is capable of managing computer, video, and

audio signals simultaneously through one CresCAT-QM cable, simplifying

installations.

Routing CresCAT-QM cable is less expensive and much simpler than routing

multi-colored, multi-conductor coax cable. All Crestron products using the QM

transport system are capable of sending and receiving QM signals via

CresCAT-QM cable. Installation of any QM device is as simple as installing one

set of QM wires from output to input. Installations are flexible, affordable, and

fast.

The Crestron QuickMedia cable “CresCAT-QM” contains one CAT5E cable

and one Cresnet®cable in siamese jackets.

CresCAT-QM Cable

NOTE: Do not untwist the two wires in a single twisted pair for more than

1/3-1/2" (0.84 – 1.27 cm) when making a connection. The twists are critical to

canceling out interference between the wires.

The QuickMedia transport mechanism performs delay compensation on each

video input to compensate for signal skew, and frequency/bandwidth

compensation for cable length. Signal skew occurs when part of the signal is

delayed with respect to other signal components. The amount of skew largely

depends on the length and design of the wire. Because CAT5 consists of twisted

pairs that are twisted together in the cable, unequal wire lengths are created.

The maximum aggregate cable length from QM transmitter to QM receiver is

limited by the loss of bandwidth over long distances and the amount of available

skew compensation. A cable rated at 15 ns of skew per 100 meters (328 ft.)

means that a cable will have no more than a 15 ns difference between the fastest

and slowest RGB signals over 100 meters of cable.

To determine the allowable maximum length of installed cable, the installer

must first perform a calculation based on the skew rating of the cable. The use of

low-resolution signals may allow increased cable length but must be tested with

the sources to be used. To ensure sufficient bandwidth to support signal

resolutions up to 1600 x 1200, the maximum aggregate cable length should not

exceed 328 feet.

Skew compensation is primarily relevant to RGB sources; however, any/all

video or VGA signals may experience a loss of quality over very long lengths of

cable. This phenomenon is due to the added resistance and capacitance of longer

cable lengths, and is not particular to either Crestron and/or QuickMedia

systems.

The total accumulated skew from QM transmitter to QM receiver must not

exceed 15 ns (nanoseconds). Crestron recommends a cable with a rating of less

Operations & Installation Guide – DOC. 6311A FlipTop Media Center: QM-FTMC •3

FlipTop Media Center Crestron QM-FTMC

than or equal to 15 ns over its entire length. For example, if using a cable with a

rating of 15 ns/100 meters (100 meters = 328 feet), connecting the QM-FTMC

transmitter with 150 feet of cable to a QM-MD7x2 switcher, and then using

another 150 feet to connect the QM-RMCRX-BA receiver, the accumulated

skew over the entire 300 feet should not exceed 15 ns.
