• Compact 4-Series control processor designed exclusively for Crestron Home™ OS • 4-Series multicore CPU processor delivers remarkable speed and performance • Communicates with the Crestron Home Setup App for system configuration and the Crestron Home App for system control • Ideal for single-room solutions, small to medium-sized homes, and MDUs (multidwelling units) • Capable of handling systems with hundreds of devices • Integrates control and monitoring of audio, video, lighting, shades, thermostats, door locks, sensors, andotherdevices • Includes built-in IR, COM, I/O, relay, Cresnet® network, and high-speed gigabit Ethernet control ports • Built-in infiNET EX® wireless network gateway • Enterprise-class networksecurity • PoE (Power over Ethernet) powered • Rack or surface mountable The 4-Series Media Room Controller for Crestron Home™ OS (MC4-R) provides a secure, high-performance, cost-effective control processor and interface with the embedded Crestron Home operating system. Its small form factor and versatile mounting options makes it ideal for smaller Crestron Home systems such as single-room systems, small to medium-sized homes, and MDUs (multidwelling units). The MC4-R comes equipped with a 4-Series multicore CPU processor that delivers remarkable speed and performance while handling the demands of an advanced automated system. The MC4-R is a perfect replacement for a PYNG-HUB processor when upgrading a smaller system from Crestron Pyng® OS to Crestron Home. NOTE: For larger homes and systems that require additional processing power, refer instead to the CP4-R 4-Series Control Processor for Crestron Home™ OS 3. Built-In Crestron Home OS Crestron Home unlocks the full potential of a smart home. It provides dealers with the ability to deliver a sleek user interface that includes fluid dynamic room controls and new features such as support for multiple homes, favorites, custom access, room image customizations, and more. Refer to www.crestron.com/crestronhome for more information about Crestron Home and for a list of supported Crestron and third-party equipment. Wired and Wireless Device Support Through a full complement of onboard control ports, the MC4-R allows Crestron Home to integrate with a wide variety of audio, video, lighting, motorized shades, thermostats, door locks, sensors, security systems, and other equipment. The MC4-R also provides a built-in infiNET EX® wireless gateway that allows wireless devices to be paired directly to the control system and then added to the Crestron Home system1. System expansion is made easy using the CEN-IO series of wired Ethernet modules (sold separately), which provide additional COM (CEN-IO-COM-102), digital input (CEN-IO-DIGIN-104), IR (CEN-IO-IR-104), or relay (CEN-IO-RY-104) ports for integration with all kinds of third-party equipment. PoE Network Powered Using PoE technology, the MC4-R gets its operating power directly through the LAN wiring, eliminating the need for a local power supply or dedicated power wiring. A PoE injector (PWE-4803RU) simply connects in line with the LAN cable at a convenient location. Crestron PoE switches (CEN-SW-POE-5 or CEN-SWPOE-16) may also be used to provide a total networking solution with built-in PoE. All PoE injectors and switches are sold separately. NOTE: Ethernet speed is limited to 100 Mbps when using the PWE-4803RU. Versatile Mounting Options The MC4-R mounts conveniently to a wall, ceiling, or other flat surface. Its compact, surface-mountable form factor fits easily behind a flat panel display, beneath a tabletop, or inside other furniture, making it ideal for single-room systems. It can even be installed into an equipment rack using the included rack ears. Crestron Electronics Inc. 15 Volvo Drive | Rockleigh, NJ 07647 www.crestron.com | 800.237.2041

2. Thetotal rangeofan infiNET EXwireless network is dependent on the placement and capabilities of each network device.A mesh network topology is employed so every “EX" device on the network acts as a routing nodeor “expander," which relays thesignals it receives on to other EX devices within range.This effectively extends thetotal rangeofthe network and provides multiple redundant signal paths for extra reliability. A maximum of six “hops" across routing nodesis allowed, although a maximum of three is recommended. Battery-powered infiNET EX devices only operate as leaf nodes anddo not...
