macOS
The macOS installer is a zip archive file that contains the AirMedia sender application as an
executable to provide the ability to customize installations in enterprise deployments.
The deployable AirMedia sender application for macOS is available at
or
from the corresponding product page.
NOTES:
l
A login for the Crestron website is required to access the deployable AirMedia sender
application from the product page.

For AM-100 installations, the macOS installer should be used for sharing audio and
video. The macOS installer has a user mode driver that is installed alongside the
AirMedia sender application. The driver is not available with the guest AirMedia sender
application version. For consistent functionality, the computer may require rebooting
after installation.
Run the macOS installer in one of the following ways:
l
Open the .zip archive file, and then run the installer file.
After installation, the sender application appears in the macOS dock and the
/Applications/Crestron folder, and the sender application is launched. Upon installation,
users will have a quick connection experience with easy access to the AirMedia sender
application.
l
For administrators, open the .pkg file within the installer to silently install the AirMedia
sender application on users’ machines. The sender application does not run after
installation is completed, and the UI is not displayed. Inside the .pkg archive file is the
InstallAirMedia.app bundle. The app bundle contains the required airmedia_osx_
installer.pkg package file in the Content/Resources folder. On a terminal, issue the
following command to run the installer:
sudo installer –pkg airmedia_osx_installer.pkg -target /
The AirMedia sender application can be installed silently (without user knowledge) on a
macOS computer using Apple® policies, MDM, or other similar management tools. Options
for installing desktop icons and specifying the installation location are not available due to
the conventions of the macOS platform.
The deployable AirMedia sender application provides flexibility when managing AirMedia rooms
with various levels of user access across multiple campus locations. To address various
deployment scenarios, AirMedia provides the following methods to access a room’s connection
