Crestron incorporates AirMedia technology 2.0 to its new AM-300 wireless presentation system

The AirMedia AM-300 enables secure wired and wireless presentation in salons, lobbies and open spaces, and integrates with calendar platforms. This computer has a DM input, HDMI input and output, and a LAN port for power.

Crestron will begin marketing its new AM-300 wireless presentation system in EMEA this month. A system equipped with AirMedia technology 2.0 that incorporates DM input, HDMI input and output, one LAN port for power, in addition to communications and full control over the screen.

"AirMedia has set the standard for wireless presentation and improved it with AirMedia. 2.0. It is the only solution for optimized wireless presentation that offers network security, cloud-based deployment and management, plus iOS mirroring without using Bonjour", explains Fred Bargetzi, CTO de Crestron.

While other products offer only one wireless access point and cause sensitive content to be exposed to potential security breaches, AirMedia 2.0 is a wireless presentation technology, over the network, that takes advantage of the latest security protocols: 802.1x network access control; user authentication by Active Directory; AES-128 content encryption; and SSH, SSL, TLS and HTTPS.

AirMedia 2.0 is a device that can be deployed, configure and manage from the cloud. When using Crestron XiO Cloud or the built-in web tool, mobile app can be deployed silently to laptops and smart devices across the enterprise, in addition to being able to remotely manage the access rights of users.

AirMedia wireless presentation technology 2.0 offers the lowest latency for optimal network efficiency and lowest bandwidth consumption. Allows perfect tracking of keyboard and mouse movements; super-clear video playback; display with instructions for connectivity; room availability and meeting details when connecting to a calendar platform; mirroring with Windows, MacOS, Android and iOS without using Bonjour ; deployment and management from the cloud, and optimized network security.

AirMedia 2.0 is integrated into the new AirMedia AM-300 and AM-200 presentation systems, DigitalMedia all-in-one 4K presentation systems and Crestron Mercury open unified communications solution.

Am-300 enables secure wired and wireless presentation in salons, lobbies and open spaces, and integrates with calendar platforms. Easy to deploy and manage, increases workflow and facilitates collaboration by turning underutilized spaces into productive spaces for meetings. In addition, supports the different platforms and services that employees and guests have on their personal devices.

The AM-300 mounts invisibly behind a screen and features built-in AirMedia wireless display capability 2.0, plus HDMI and DM inputs, HDMI output to display (HD or UHD) and automatic on/off display control via CEC, serial or IR. When connecting any source, that entry is selected automatically and the source image is instantly displayed on the screen. No programming required, or dongles to plug in, as well as not requiring remote controls or batteries to replace.

When a presentation source is not connected, the AM-300 displays a customizable welcome screen with simple instructions for connecting and presenting. Integration with the Microsoft Exchange calendar, Office 365, G Suite or Crestron Fusion allows space availability and details about the scheduled meeting to be displayed.

As the meeting progresses, periodic notifications appear to indicate how much time is left in the meeting and what is scheduled for the next space. Pop-up messages, submitted by Crestron Fusion, may also appear prominently on the screen in the event of an emergency or other important announcement.
