AirMedia Presentation Gateway: AM-100

•

Crestron Connected Display Control

Pairing AirMedia with a Crestron Connected projector or flat-panel

display offers a seamless presentation solution. The AirMedia gateway

communicates directly over the network with the display device, turning

it on when a user connects, and shutting it down after the last user

disconnects. Controls are also provided for turning the display on and off

manually.*

Easy Installation

At just over an inch thick, the compact AirMedia gateway device fits

easily above a projector or behind a flat panel display. A surface

mounting bracket is included for attachment to a wall or ceiling, with

HDMI and VGA/analog audio outputs provided for connection to the

display device. AirMedia connects to existing Ethernet infrastructure and

takes advantage of your organization’s Wi-Fi network, affording an

optimal wireless interface for laptops and mobile devices.

System Integration

AirMedia is not limited to standalone applications. It can be used with

DigitalMedia, CaptureLiveHD, Crestron RL and other AV systems to

provide a wireless option alongside DM

, HDMI, and other interfaces.

AirMedia can also be controlled and monitored as part of a complete

Crestron control system using a touch screen, wireless remote, mobile

device or Crestron Fusion™ Enterprise Management Software.

Customizable Welcome Screen

To facilitate a user-friendly experience, AirMedia provides a

customizable home screen that appears on the room display to welcome

meeting participants as they enter the room. The welcome screen can

display the company logo and room name along with easy to follow

instructions, enabling presenters to connect their devices and start

presenting quickly for maximum productivity.

* Use of a Crestron Connected display device enables direct control over IP. Other

display devices may be controlled by adding a Crestron control system with

custom programming. Visit www.crestron.com/products/crestron_connected/ for
