About the Crestron MPC4-201

The built-in 4-Series processor makes the MPC4-201 a complete control system and user interface in a panel 87 mm square. It is fully programmable and includes .AV Framework software. Its only connections are the Ethernet port and a ground lug, and Crestron lists add-on Cresnet, infiNET EX, RS-232, IR, relay and Versiport interface options for rooms that need them.

Power and network share one RJ45 port: the unit is an IEEE 802.3at Type 1 (802.3af compatible) Class 0 PoE device drawing 3 W typically, on a Gigabit Ethernet connection. A proximity sensor with an adjustable 20 to 90 cm range wakes it when someone approaches, and a light sensor adjusts the backlighting. It supports Crestron Fusion monitoring and scheduling, XPanel and web control, and apps for iPhone, iPad and Android devices.

The six assignable buttons each take one of 25 prelabelled icon chips, or a blackout chip to hide them, and light white when inactive and blue when active. The unit mounts flush on a wall or lectern in a 1-gang electrical box, or in a tabletop enclosure, and a 2-gang wall mounting option is also available. Crestron specifies particular box types, so check the existing back box when replacing a unit.

Questions about the Crestron MPC4-201

What is the Crestron MPC4-201?

It is the 4-Series Media Presentation Controller 201, which combines a 4-Series control system processor with a wall-mounted control panel. It is PoE powered, has six customisable backlit capacitive buttons plus power, mute and volume buttons, and fits a 1-gang electrical box or tabletop enclosure.

Does the MPC4-201 have built-in control ports?

Its connectors are an RJ45 Ethernet port with PoE and a ground lug. For controlling other equipment, Crestron lists add-on Cresnet, infiNET EX, RS-232, IR, relay and Versiport interface options, so plan these in when the room needs them.

How is the MPC4-201 powered?

It is powered over Ethernet as an IEEE 802.3at Type 1 (802.3af compatible) Class 0 powered device, with typical consumption of 3 W. The same RJ45 port provides its 1000Base-TX network connection, so a single cable handles power and data.

What does the proximity sensor do?

The unit has an eye-safe 940 nm laser ranging sensor with a range adjustable from 20 to 90 cm. It detects people within that range and wakes the unit, and a separate ambient light sensor adjusts the button backlighting automatically.

How can the MPC4-201 be mounted?

It mounts flush on a wall or lectern in a 1-gang electrical box, or in a tabletop enclosure. A 2-gang wall mounting option is also available. The unit measures 87 mm high, 87 mm wide and 48 mm deep.

How much is the Crestron MPC4-201?

Crestron asks its dealers to give the price of the MPC4-201 directly rather than publish it online. Add it to your quote list and we will send you a written quote, with delivery, and installation and programming if you need them.

Can 1Install supply, install and programme the MPC4-201?

Yes. 1Install is an authorised Crestron Elite Partner with offices in Skerries, Co. Dublin and Cork. We can supply the MPC4-201 on its own, or install, set up and programme it as part of your system. Installation visits are €440 for 4 hours or €880 for a full day, plus VAT and travel.

Does the MPC4-201 come with a warranty?

Yes. Everything we supply is new, genuine Crestron with Crestron's standard warranty. If the MPC4-201 develops a fault, contact us and we will handle the claim with Crestron. If we installed it, our workmanship is guaranteed for the lifetime of the system.

Is the MPC4-201 in stock?

We order Crestron for each quote, so availability depends on Crestron's stock at the time. We check it before we quote and put the expected delivery date on your quote, so you know where you stand before you pay.

Can I buy the MPC4-201 without installation?

Yes. We supply Crestron to end users, with or without installation. Like most Crestron devices of this type, it needs setting up or programming before it works in a system, and we can quote for that too.
