AirMedia Presentation System 300

The Crestron AM-300 AirMedia® Presentation System 300 enables secure wired and wireless presentation in lounges, lobbies, and open spaces, and integrates with popular calendaring platforms. It is ideal for organizations with a dispersed workforce, open floor plans, and reliance on mobile devices to present. The AM-300 is secure, easy to deploy and manage, increases workflow, and facilitates collaboration by turning underutilized spaces into productive meeting spaces while supporting the many different platforms and services employees and guests have on their personal devices.

Connect and Present
The AM-300 device mounts invisibly behind a wall mount display and enables wired or wireless presentation with auto-switching. It features built-in AirMedia 2.0 wireless presentation capability, plus HDMI® and DM® inputs, HDMI out to the display (HD or UHD), and auto-on/off display control via CEC, serial, or IR. Connecting any 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 laptop, smartphone, or tablet device via a Wi-Fi® wireless network. With AirMedia, anyone can walk into the room with a Windows® or MacBook® laptop and connect without wires, enabling the presentation of any content including Full HD video at frame rates up to 30 fps. iPhone®, iPad®, and Android® devices can present PowerPoint®, Excel®, Word, and PDF documents, as well as pictures, videos, or any app content with full-screen mirroring.

In addition to AirMedia, the AM-300 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. A DM input (DM 8G+®) is also provided, allowing a DM 8G+ transmitter to be installed at any convenient location in the space to facilitate connection of a laptop or other source. The DM input may also be used to connect to a DM switcher, which may be located up to 330 feet (100 meters) away, to support the display of content from another room or other remote location. The DM input supports 4K signals, and the HDMI input supports HD 1080p signals.

When no presentation source is connected, the AM-300 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®) or Crestron Fusion® room scheduling allows the space’s availability and details about the current scheduled meeting to appear on screen.

Manual control of the AM-300 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.

1. AirMedia wireless presentation requires a wired network connection between the AM-300 and an external Wi-Fi wireless access point (not included). Laptops may alternately connect to AirMedia using a wired Ethernet connection. Full-motion video performance is dependent upon the performance of the network and the sending device. The AM-300 supports the same essential functionality as the AM-101 AirMedia Presentation Gateway with the exclusion of quad view, moderator mode, and remote view. 
2. Using an appropriate adapter or interface cable, the HDMI input can support DVI and Dual-Mode DisplayPort sources, and the HDMI output can provide a DVI signal. CBL-HD-DVIinterface cables are available separately.
3. The DM input receives video and audio signals and passes EDID and HDCP data. CEC and other control data is not supported via the DM input at this time. A transmitter with multiple inputs must be set for auto-switching mode. Any control ports on the transmitter are not utilized. Ethernet is also passed between the external LAN ports on the AM-300 and the connected DM 8G+ transmitter. The AM-300 can obtain its LAN connection over DM from a networked DM 8G+ transmitter or DM switcher, but does not receive an IP address on the switcher’s private network. The AM-300 requires its own IP address whether connected to the LAN via its onboard LAN port or through a switcher or transmitter.
4. The maximum cable length for DigitalMedia 8G+® (DM 8G+) is dependent upon the type of cable, resolution of the video signal, and capabilities of the connected device. Refer to the “DM 8G+ Maximum Cable Lengths” table for a detailed overview. Shielded cable and connectors are required when bundling multiple cables in a wire run, and are recommended for all applications to safeguard against unpredictable environmental electrical noise which may impact performance at resolutions above 1080p. Refer to the Crestron DigitalMedia Design Guide, Doc. #4546 for DM system design guidelines. All wire, cables, transmitters, and other devices are sold separately.
5. Wireless keypad functionality is limited to power and volume control, and requires use of a display device that supports discrete power on, power off, volume up, and volume down commands via CEC, IP, IR, or RS-232.
6. Support for occupancy sensing using the ZUMMESH-PIR-OCCUPANCY-BATT is a future feature that will be enabled via a firmware update.
