Crestron HD-MD-400-C-E

The All-in-one Huddle Room Solution.

The Crestron HD-MD-400-C-E is the must-have solution for small meeting rooms, it’s straightforward transmitter and receiver setup will have you conferencing and presenting in no time!

Our favorite thing about the HD-MD-400-C-E is it’s an AV switcher, scaler and extender all-in-one. The compact, low-profile receiver is mounted on your table or podium, then simply connect your laptop, or portable device wirelessly using AirMedia or by plugging in directly via HDMI or a VGA connection. The three available inputs feature auto-switching and there is also an additional input for audio, in case (it’s not coming through your HDMI).

The best part is you’re directly connected to the receiver by just by a single CAT cable that can have a length of up to 230 ft. The built-in scaling will automatically adjust any input resolution to match whatever dimensions are needed for the room display and its QuickSwitch HD technology will quickly and seamlessly adjusts, even when viewing HDCP encrypted content, you know the protection placed on certain content like Blu-ray which sometimes gets blacked out if not properly authenticated.

And if you’re wondering about sound quality, it’s Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS and uncompressed 7.1 linear PCM audio will be sure to impress your clients.

But, it’s more than a simple plug-in play solution, unlock advanced features by using its web browser setup. In fact, you can even manage more than one room or device using the Crestron Fusion Cloud management system.

Its simple setup and even easier to use system makes the Crestron HD Scaling Auto-Switcher & Extender 400 our must-have pick for any small to medium sized room, for meetings between a few co-workers to larger meetings with clients and associates.Crestron-HD-MD-400-C-E-2
