The MP2E is a low-cost 2-Series Ethernet control system and audio/video switcher that provides total control of a room's multi-media resources, including CD players, DVD players, projectors, screens, even lighting. With a unique combination of high-performance Ethernet control and switching at an affordable price, the MP2E is the ideal AV control solution for colleges, corporate campuses, and other multi-room facilities.

Power
The heart of the MP2E is the 2-Series processor, built on Motorola's 32-bit, 257 MIPS ColdFire® technology. The MP2E features the same processor as the higher end PRO2 and AV2, with 36MB of onboard memory, allowing the MP2E to run the most sophisticated control applications.

Professional Video Control
The 4x2 high-bandwidth video crosspoint distributes video from 4 composite sources to two destinations—great for sending sources to presentation displays like plasma screens or projectors while previewing sources on a Crestron touchpanel. Alternatively, 2 S-Video sources can be switched to one display device. The video inputs include video signal detectors to confirm device power and signal presence.

The Crestron C2N-MMS video matrix switcher can easily be added to extend the video processing capabilities of the MP2E. With 3 additional S-Video inputs switchable to 2 outputs, 4 RGB inputs switchable to 2 outputs, and the C2N-MMS-SC scan converter card, the C2N-MMS is the ideal complement to the MP2E.

Professional Audio Control
The 7x1 stereo audio switcher provides balanced and unbalanced switching of room audio sources, with stereo volume and tone control and a 6-band graphic/parametric equalizer, so the sound is always precisely tailored to the listening environment. All the audio features of the MP2E are easily programmable with Crestron Digital Audio Tools™ software. Drag the sliders and adjust the waveforms to set EQ filters and presets. Select real time mode to hear the sound as it is adjusted, and then create a configuration file ready to be uploaded to the MP2E.

Versatility
I/O options include 2 COM ports; 4 IR ports; 4 isolated relays; 4 I/O Versiports; 6 BNC video connectors; 8 stereo audio connectors; 1 10/100 Ethernet port; 1 Cresnet port; and 1 IR input designed to work with the CNXRMIRD IR detector and any universal RC-5 IR remote, for low-cost control of AV devices.

e-Control 2™ Technology
The MP2E features a built-in Web server with SSL, so users can control devices from any computer on the LAN or WAN. Programmers can design custom Web pages using Crestron VisionTools Pro-e®, eliminating the need to purchase third-party Web page design software.

In fact, with Crestron e-Control 2® XPanel technology, Web pages have the same look and feel as TPS touchpanel pages, with the same outstanding runtime performance. e-Control 2 also generates standalone XPanel programs that users can launch from their Windows® desktop or from Windows PocketPC 2002 PDA devices and Windows Tablet PCs.

The MP2E supports all Crestron e-Control Power Applications, including RoomView™ software. With RoomView, organizations can monitor multiple room AV controllers on an integrated Ethernet network, in real time, from any network PC.
