iPod
®
with Video Crestron CEN-IDOCV
For simplicity within this guide, the color and packaged accessories are omitted and
CEN-IDOCV is used except where noted.
Easy Docking
Placing the iPod into the docking station (CEN-IDOCV-DS included) instantly
connects it for sharing with speakers and video monitors throughout the home or
office.
Touchpanel Control
Integrating the iPod with a Crestron system enables full control and navigation using
touchpanels, APADs, keypads, computers, and handheld remotes. From any
touchpanel, you can search the entire iPod library by genre, artist, album and track.
Sync to iTunes
®
over Ethernet
Using USB-over-IP technology, the CEN-IDOCV allows the iPod to connect with
any networked PC or Mac running Apple iTunes software right from the docking
station. Syncing the iPod to iTunes works the same as if it were hooked up with a
USB cable, affording full capabilities for organizing and transferring music and
video files, podcasts, audio books, and playlists anytime you want.
Audio and Video Distribution*
The CEN-IDOCV module features Crestron Home
®
CAT5 Balanced AV outputs to
enable audio and video signals to be fed from the iPod to your home theater or
multiroom distribution system. The video output supports composite and component
signal types for high-quality display of any video files loaded on the iPod.
* Audio/video signal output requires one or more Crestron Home
®
(CH) CAT5 balanced AV
compatible devices.
Crestron Home
®
CAT5 Balanced AV
Crestron Home (CH) CAT5 Balanced technology allows the CEN-IDOCV to be
located up to 500 feet from the central equipment, interfacing directly with other
CH-compatible devices like the Crestron CNX-BIPAD8 and CNX-PVID8 using
ordinary CAT5 type wire. Connecting the CEN-IDOCV to conventional AV
equipment, or to a Crestron Adagio
®
Home Entertainment system, is facilitated using
the ABAR-1 Balanced Audio Receiver and ABVR-1 Balanced Video Receiver (both
sold separately).
Adagio
®
Plug-and-Play
The CEN-IDOCV affords easy plug-and-play setup as part of a complete Adagio
system. Without any programming, Adagio delivers full access and control of the
docked iPod from every room.
Power over Ethernet
For operation and charging the iPod battery, the CEN-IDOCV gets its power right
through the LAN wiring using 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology. PoE
eliminates the need for a separate wall-wart power supply or dedicated power wiring.
A PoE Injector (PWE-4803RU, included with CEN-IDOCV-PWE-B-S and
CEN-IDOCV-PWE-W-S) connects inline with the LAN cable, allowing for
installation at any convenient location. For applications with multiple CEN-IDOCVs
or other PoE-powered devices, a Crestron 5-port PoE switch (CEN-SW-POE-5, sold
separately) may be used, allowing up to four devices to be powered from a single
location.
