Description

The Media Presentation System 200 (AM‑200) provides secure wired and wireless presentation in lounges, lobbies, and open spaces, and integrates with popular calendaring platforms to maximize use. It is ideal for organizations with a dispersed workforce, open floor plans, and reliance on mobile devices to present.

Connect and Present
The AM-200 mounts invisibly behind a wall-mount display and enables wired or wireless presentation with autoswitching. It features AirMedia 2.0 wireless presentation capability, an HDMI® input, HDMI output to the display (HD or WUXGA), and auto-on/off display control via CEC, serial, or IR. Connecting a source selects that input automatically and instantly displays the source image on the display. There’s no programming required, no dongles to plug in, and no remotes to lose or batteries to replace.

AirMedia Wireless Presentation
Crestron AirMedia technology allows for wireless presentation of content from a personal computer, laptop, or mobile device via a Wi-Fi® wireless network. Airmedia enables presentation of Full HD video at frame rates up to 30 fps. Desktop and laptop computer users can present content using downloadable client software, the AirMedia extension for Google Chrome™ browser, or Miracast™1 screen mirroring technology (Windows 10 computers only). Android and iOS mobile devices can present with the AirMedia app or the Crestron PinPoint™ app. For more information about AirMedia, visit www.crestron.com/airmedia.2

HDMI Connectivity
In addition to AirMedia, the AM-200 includes an HDMI input for direct connection of a mini-PC or other local source, or a portable laptop computer via an optional wall plate or cable. The HDMI input supports HD 1080p signals.3

Native Appspace Functionality
The AM-200 integrates with the Appspace content management application for digital signage which allows the AM-200 to show Appspace content on a connected display when a space is not in use.

Works with Crestron Airboard™ Whiteboard Capture System
The AM-200 works with the Crestron Airboard™ Whiteboard Capture System (CCS-WB-1). Simply pair the CCS-WB-1 with the AM-200, and all of the CCS-WB-1 controls are available on the associated touch screen.4 Manage remote participants, start and stop a whiteboard session, route the whiteboard content to the associated display, and email a snapshot or timeline of the whiteboard session.5

Enhanced Onscreen Experience
When no presentation source is connected, the AM-200 displays a customizable welcome screen on the room display with simple instructions for connecting and presenting. Integration with Microsoft Exchange (for users of Outlook® and Office 365®), Google Calendar™, or Crestron Fusion® room scheduling allows the space’s availability and details about the current scheduled meeting to appear on-screen. As the meeting progresses, notifications appear periodically to indicate how much time is left in the meeting and what’s scheduled next for the space. Pop-up messages, sent from Crestron Fusion, may also appear in the event of an emergency or other important announcement.

Crestron XiO Cloud Provisioning and Management
The AM-200 is compatible with the Crestron XiO Cloud™ service, which is an IoT (Internet of Things) based platform for remotely provisioning, monitoring, and managing Crestron devices across an enterprise or an entire client base. The service enables installers and IT managers to deploy and manage thousands of devices in the amount of time it previously took to manage just one. As part of the AM-200 system, the Crestron XiO Cloud service allows for network management and provisioning, remote firmware updates and system alerts. For more information, visit www.crestron.com/xiocloud.

Crestron Fusion Room Monitoring
AM-200 presentation spaces can be managed and centrally monitored through the Crestron Fusion enterprise management service. By adding an optional wireless occupancy sensor, the AM-200 can report and log when people are present in the space, turning the display on and off accordingly, and returning unused spaces to inventory to maximize availability for new bookings. Crestron Fusion software supports room scheduling, and can integrate with a variety of third-party calendaring applications. In the event of a technical issue, instant alerts notify the help desk to rapidly resolve problems and maximize uptime and workflow.

Enterprise-Grade Security
The AirMedia Presentation System is an enterprise-grade solution that can be deployed across hundreds of spaces, and set up easily using just a web browser, Crestron Fusion, or Crestron XiO Cloud service. It employs standard network security protocols, including 802.1x network access control, Active Directory® authentication, and AES content encryption, to protect privacy and ensure compliance with your organization’s IT policies.

Add-on Control Options
Manual control of the AM‑200 can be enabled by adding a Crestron TSW‑760 or TSW‑1060 series touch screen. The touch screen provides a small-screen view of the room schedule and meeting details, with controls for input source selection, display power on/off, and display volume and mute, plus a help page. Additional control options include a wireless 4‑button keypad (ZUMMESH‑KP10AMBATT series6), which provides simple on/off and volume control, a Power over Ethernet occupancy sensor (CEN‑ODT‑C‑POE), and a wireless occupancy sensor (ZUMMESH‑PIR‑OCCUPANCY‑BATT) for enhanced automation and room monitoring functionality. The wireless keypad and wireless occupancy sensor require the addition of the AV Bridge accessory (ZUMMESH‑AVBRIDGE or ZUMMESH‑AVBRIDGE‑I), which connects to the AM-200 via USB.
