QM-MD16X16
16X16 QuickMedia™ Matrix Switcher
When connecting multiple QM devices, the route between a QM origination point
(transmitter) and a QM endpoint (receiver) cannot have more than two midpoints
(e.g. QM-MD16X16 or other QM switchers). Refer to the following diagram when
configuring a QM network.
NOTE:
The aggregate length from transmitter to receiver cannot have a delay skew
or more than 22 ns.

Identity Code
The Net ID of the QM-MD16X16 has been factory set to
32
. The Net IDs of multiple
QM-MD16X16 devices in the same system must be unique. Net IDs are changed
from a personal computer (PC) via the Crestron Toolbox™ (refer to “Establishing
Communication” on page 20).
When setting the Net ID, consider the following:
•
The Net ID of each unit must match an ID code specified in the SIMPL
Windows program.
•
Each network device must have a unique Net ID.
For more details, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file.
Installation
Ventilation
The QM-MD16X16 should be used in a well-ventilated area. The venting holes
should not be obstructed under any circumstances.
NOTE:
To ensure adequate ventilation while surface or rack mounting, do not stack
more than two QM-MD16X16s together.
To prevent overheating, do not operate this product in an area that exceeds the
environmental temperature range listed in the table of specifications. Consider using
forced air ventilation and/or incrementing the spacing between units to reduce
overheating. Consideration must be given if installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly since the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be
greater than the room ambient temperature. Contact with thermal insulating
materials should be avoided on all sides of the unit.
Rack Mounting
The QM-MD16X16 can be mounted in a rack or stacked with other equipment. Two
“ears” are provided with the QM-MD16X16 so that the unit can be rack mounted.
These ears must be installed prior to mounting. Complete the following procedure to
attach the ears to the unit. The only tool required is a #2 Phillips screwdriver.
