Wireless audio receiver

Power over ethernet (POE) switch

Without wires:

Spec page

The CEN-SWPOE-16 offers control system networking for a complete Ethernet network of touch screens, control processors, servers, and other devices in a single-space rack mount package.

PoE at each port can be switched on and off via a Crestron control system allowing equipment to be shut down to save power when not needed.

Digital Media Switcher (Crestron DM-MD8X8)

Manufacturer’s page

A fully modular and expandable 8×8 DigitalMedia matrix switcher offering ultra-fast digital video and audio switching, and lossless HD multiroom signal distribution, for all types of AV sources. Provides complete management for SD, HD, UHD, 2K, 4K, and computer signals with advanced HDCP support, EDID resolution management, CEC signal management, USB signal routing, integrated Ethernet switch, simultaneous 7.1 and stereo audio, H.264 streaming, and a full range of selectable input and output types.

Control Processor

Spec page

Control system for residential, commercial, and government applications. 

Managing and integrating all the disparate technologies throughout your facility.

Affords high-speed, real-time multi-tasking to seamlessly run multiple programs simultaneously. This exclusive modular programming architecture lets programmers independently develop and run device-specific programs for AV, lighting, shades, HVAC, security, etc., allowing for the optimization of each program, and allowing changes to be made to one program without affecting the whole. Even as your system grows, processing resources can easily be shifted from one 3-Series processor to another without rewriting any code. The end benefit is dramatically simplified upgradability with minimal downtime, whether implementing changes on site or remotely via the network.

Audio input on main post

Does not appear to work — plugged in a mic, no audio to be heard

HDMI hinge input

Using the Hinge HDMI input as an audio output pushes mono audio to all the ceiling speakers on both sides of the space (i.e. on the hinge side and on the DSL side).
