QuickMedia Distribution System Crestron QM-MD4x2 each network unit to be daisy-chained must be added together to determine the power factor of the entire chain. The length of the run in feet and the power factor of the run should be used in the following resistance equation to calculate the value on the right side of the equation. Resistance Equation Where: R = Resistance (refer to table below). 40,000 L = Length of run (or chain) in feet. R < L x PF PF = Power factor of entire run

Crestron QM-MD4x2 QuickMedia Distribution System CRESCAT-QM Cable NOTE: Do not untwist the two wires in a single pair for more than 1/3-1/2” (0.84 – 1.27 cm) when making a connection. The twists are critical to canceling out interference between the wires. The QM transport mechanism (receiver) uses frequency compensation on each twisted pair video input to maintain high resolutions (1600 x 1200) with CRESCAT- QM cable (which contains both Cresnet and CAT5E wiring) and most good quality
