The AirMedia® Presentation System 300 (AM-300) enables 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-300 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, a DM 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 laptops, smartphones, and tablet devices via a Wi-Fi® wireless network or an optional wireless access point.1 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 and DM Connectivity
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 in the space to facilitate a wired 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 ft (100 m) away, to support the display of content from another room or other remote location. The HDMI input supports HD 1080p signals while the DM input supports 4K signals.^{3, 4, 5}

AirMedia Canvas
The AM-300 can be configured to simultaneously present two sources to the display using the AirMedia Canvas feature. AirMedia Canvas automatically configures the best possible layout to maximize screen coverage based on the number of active sources, the type of sources, and their aspect ratios.⁶ A connected touch screen can also be used to manage sources and their position on the display.

Native Appspace Functionality
The AM-300 integrates with the Appspace content management application for digital signage which allows the AM-300 to show Appspace content on a connected display when a space is not in use.

Whiteboard Capture Device Compatibility
The AM-300 works with the Crestron AirBoard (CCS-WB-1) and Kaptivo Whiteboard Capture Devices. Simply pair the whiteboard capture device with the AM-300, and all of the device controls are available on a connected touch screen.⁷ 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.⁸

Enhanced Onscreen Experience
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 Server® (for users of Outlook® and Microsoft 365® software), Google Calendar™, or Crestron Fusion® room scheduling allows the space’s availability and details about the current scheduled meeting to appear onscreen. As the meeting progresses, notifications appear periodically to indicate the time left in the meeting and the next scheduled event. Pop-up messages, sent from Crestron Fusion, may also appear in the event of an emergency or other important announcement.

XiO Cloud Provisioning and Management Service
The AM-300 is compatible with the XiO Cloud service, which enables installers and IT managers to easily deploy and manage thousands of devices. The XiO Cloud service allows for system alerts and network management and provisioning. For more information, visit www.crestron.com/xiocloud.

Crestron Fusion Room Monitoring
AM-300 presentation spaces can be managed and centrally monitored through the Crestron Fusion enterprise management service. By adding an optional wireless occupancy sensor (ZUMMESH‑PIR‑OCCUPANCY‑BATT), the AM-300 can report and log when people are present in the space, turn the display on and off accordingly, and make unused spaces available 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. For more information about Crestron Fusion, visit www.crestron.com/fusion.

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 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-300 can be enabled by adding a Crestron TS- or TSW- series 7 in. or 10 in. touch screen. The touch screen provides an additional 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 series⁹), 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-300 via USB.

Requires the AM‑USB‑WIFI or AM‑USB‑WF‑I (sold separately). Use of the AM‑USB‑WIFI or AM‑USB‑WF‑I prevents use of the ZUMMESH‑AVBRIDGE, ZUMMESH‑AVBRIDGE‑I, ZUMMESH‑KP10AMBATT, and ZUMMESH‑PIR‑OCCUPANCY‑BATT.
AirMedia wireless presentation requires a wired network connection between the AM-200 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. Computer client software and mobile device apps are available for download at https://www.crestron.com/airmedia.
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‑DVI interface cables are available separately.
The DM input receives video and audio signals and passes EDID and HDCP data. CEC and other control data are 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.
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 System Design Guide (Doc. 4546), for DM system design guidelines. All wire, cables, transmitters, and other devices are sold separately.
When the AirMedia Canvas feature is enabled, the 4:2:0 color space is used for high definition sources connected to the HDMI input port. When the AirMedia Canvas feature is disabled, the 4:4:4 color space is used. If the 4:4:4 color space is required by sources connected to the HDMI input port, the AirMedia Canvas feature should be disabled.
A TS- or TSW- series 7 in. or 10 in. touch screen (sold separately) is required for operation.
Crestron AirBoard or Kaptivo integration with the AM-200/300 is entirely configuration-based. When the whiteboard capture device is paired with the AM-200/300, programmatic control is not supported in SIMPL Windows or SIMPL# Pro. If custom program controls for a whiteboard capture device are required, use a DGE-100 in place of an AM-200/300.
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.
