Media Presentation Controller
Crestron
MPC-M10/20/25
Control…Simplified
The MPC-M10/20/25 is engineered to be easy to integrate and use, yet versatile
enough to suit each application perfectly. Its “hard key” buttons (10 on the
MPC-M10, 15 on the MPC-M20 and MPC-M25) can be freely programmed for
system power, input source selection, transport control, lighting presets and any
other functions. Custom backlit labeling of the buttons is facilitated using an
assortment of pre-printed labels or Crestron Engraver software. The 5-way
directional navigation pad (MPC-M20 and MPC-M25 only) enables full control of
DVD players, displays and other devices that utilize an onscreen menu. Adjusting
audio volume and other parameters is enabled using the continuous turn control knob
and LED bar graph.
Configuring a complete MPC media presentation control solution is simplified using
Crestron SystemBuilder™ software, allowing limitless programmability from the
award-winning platform that is familiar to every Crestron dealer. The MPC Wizard
included in SystemBuilder enables set up of a full-featured presentation system
complete with lighting control and RoomView
®
remote management without
requiring any programming. Uploading and updating a facility full of MPC systems
is managed easily over the network or individually via the front panel USB port.
Wireless Remote
A range of options is available for adding wireless remote control to the MPC
system. Its built-in IR receiver allows use of any Crestron IR wireless touchpanel or
handheld remote without requiring a separate receiver or gateway. For greater range
and freedom of movement, MPC also supports Crestron’s full line of RF wireless
and Wi-Fi based products.
Wired Expansion
Adding a second control panel or just adding a few more buttons is easy using the
MP-B10 and MP-B20 Media Presentation Button Panels (sold separately). Of
course, with Cresnet
®
and Ethernet built in, the MPC-M10/20/25 works seamlessly
with Crestron’s entire line of keypads and touchpanels, lighting dimmers and shade
controllers, signal processors and switchers and much more.
Built-in Control Ports
Through its onboard control ports, the MPC-M10/20/25 interfaces directly with the
video display or projector, DVD player or TV receiver, projection screen, lift,
occupancy sensor and other devices in the room. In addition to Cresnet and high-
speed Ethernet, there is a bidirectional RS-232 COM port (two on the MPC-M25), an
IR/serial port (two on the MPC-M25), two relays (six on the MPC-M25) and four
input ports right on the rear panel.
Audio and Video Control
The MPC-M10/20/25 is ideal for small room systems utilizing a single display
device with computers and other sources connected directly to it. But like any
2-Series control system, MPC is fully scalable to suit larger applications with several
program sources, microphones or even multiple displays. Simply add a C2N-VEQ4
module (sold separately) to enable four channels of audio volume and EQ control. Or
use any of Crestron’s QuickMedia
®
wall plate and FlipTop interfaces, switchers and
receivers for a total signal routing, processing and amplification solution.
