Crestron QM-FTMC FlipTop Media Center FlipTop Media Center: QM-FTMC Introduction Features and Functions The QM-FTMC FlipTop Computer Center is part of the Crestron MediaManagerTM line of network devices, room control systems and signal routing solutions. [. . . ] Valid analog values range from -100d (-10dB) to +100d (+10dB), adjustable in increments of 0. 1dB (1d = 0. 1dB). Indicates the source gain compensation being applied to the S-VIDEO audio source.

The unit provides two microphone/line level inputs labeled MIC 1/LINE 1 and MIC 2/LINE 2, with muting, phantom power, noise gating, and level monitoring. In addition, auto-compensation models provide four bands of equalization (160Hz, 500Hz, 1. 2kHz, and 3kHz). The microphone audio is routed to the MIC 1 and MIC 2 channels of the QM output together with video and stereo program audio. QM-FTMC Symbol ­ Detail View of Microphone Controls Operations & Installation Guide ­ DOC. 6311A FlipTop Media Center: QM-FTMC · 37 FlipTop Media Center Crestron QM-FTMC The parameters that are associated with QM inputs are stored in the transmitter. The DSP that does the compensation and EQ are in the receiver, but the settings now travel with the audio signal. When you have switchers in-between the transmitter and receiver, the program does not have to keep track of the routes and recall the preset in the receiver for these functions. Now the receiver automatically gets this information when the route is made, with no programming required. In addition we send the Cresnet ID (or a user defined number for systems with multiple Cresnets), which will be used by the receiver to automatically recall the video peaking/gain/skew parameters. QM-FTMC Microphone Control - Signal Descriptions SIGNAL TYPE AND NAME Digital inputs: <Mic1Mute> <Mic2Mute> Digital outputs: <Mic1Mute-F> <Mic2Mute-F> DESCRIPTION Mutes the MIC 1/LINE 1 or MIC 2/LINE 2 audio for as long as the input is high. High/1 (level sensitive) = Mute audio; Low/0 = Un-mute audio Indicates that the corresponding MIC/LINE input is muted. High/1 = Mic audio is muted; Low/0 = Mic audio is not muted Enables noise gating for MIC 1/LINE 1 or MIC 2/LINE 2, for as long as the input is high. Gating eliminates unwanted background noise that could prove distracting when amplified. The noise gate will not pass an audio signal unless it is above the threshold, set by the <GatingLevel> input. High/1 (level sensitive) = Enable gating; Low/0 = Disable gating Indicates the current status of the noise gate for the corresponding MIC/LINE input. High/1 = Gating is enabled; Low/0 = Gating is disabled Indicates that the signal level on MIC 1/LINE 1 or MIC 2/LINE 2 has exceeded the <GatingLevel>. High/1 = Gating level exceeded; Low/0 = Gating level not exceeded Indicates that the signal level on MIC 1/LINE 1 or MIC 2/LINE 2 has exceeded the nominal level. The nominal indication is reported at 10% of the maximum level supported by the hardware, or 20dB below the input clip level. High/1 = Nominal level exceeded; Low/0 = Nominal level not exceeded Indicates that the signal level on MIC 1/LINE 1 or MIC 2/LINE 2 has exceeded 50% of the maximum level supported by the hardware, or 6dB below the input clip level.
