Functional Description
The 2-Series Control Engine is a completely new solutions-driven control
technology that is at the very heart of the new PRO2 and AV2 Integrated Control
Systems. With speed, power, and massive memory, the 2-Series control systems are
ideal for enhanced applications like media help desks, videoconferencing, distance
learning, and entertainment facilities.
The breakthrough 2-Series control engine is based on the new 257 MIPS, 32-bit
Motorola ColdFire
processor. Onboard 36MB memory is enhanced with a 4GB
expansion slot that supports off-the-shelf Type II compact flash memory and the
IBM Microdrive
hard disk drive, allowing on-board storage of program and
touchpanel files, room and equipment profiles, upgrades, databases, and schedules.
Crestron's unique dual bus system, with its high-speed I/O bus architecture, provides
blazing fast throughput, system wide. This dual bus architecture also permits upgrade
to new, second generation, higher performance expansion cards, while still using
existing cards and software programs. The 40Mb/s Y-BUS supports existing CNX
control cards and serves as the pipeline for IR, serial communications, and relays.
The 300Mb/s Z-BUS is designed for super high-speed control card applications such
as 10/100 Ethernet, USB, USBII, FireWire, disk drive arrays and more.
The 2-Series also provides true secure network communications, which is required
for today's corporate networks and the Internet. A Built-in Firewall delivers the
ultimate in security, with Network Address Translator (NAT) and Router functions.
The Dual Port 10/100 BaseT Ethernet card supports dynamic and static IP addressing
and full duplex TCP/IP and UDP/IP. It offers a WAN port for Internet and corporate-
wide communications and a LAN port for room use. The built-in Web Server uses
memory storage on a compact flash card for remote access and control.
