Crestron MC2E 2-Series Professional Media Controller
2-Series Professional Media Controller: MC2E Introduction
Features and Functions
The Crestron® 2-Series Professional Media Controller (MC2E) is designed for
smaller home and commercial systems. The MC2E provides connectivity for
communication and control of Cresnet, IP and third party devices. It provides LAN
and Web access through its built-in 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port, which supports
static IP addressing and full-duplex TCP/IP and UDP/IP protocols. With speed,
power, and memory, the 2-Series control systems are ideal for enhanced applications
like media help desks, videoconferencing, distance learning, and entertainment
facilities.

applications
As with all of the Crestron 2-Series control processors, the 2-Series control engine is
a solutions-driven control technology that is at the very heart of the MC2E. The
breakthrough 2-Series control engine is based on the 257 MIPS, 32-bit Motorola
5407 ColdFire processor. The 2-Series operating system is vastly upgraded from
the Crestron X-generation products, yet compatible with existing Crestron software
and programming. A key feature is the new Crestron Compiler, which allows any
existing Crestron SIMPL Windows control program to be easily recompiled for the
