MP2/MP2E 2-Series Media Processor 
The MP2 and MP2E universal media processors are the most flexible and 
expandable room controllers in the world. 
The MP2/MP2E contain two RS-232/422/485 ports, four IR/one-way serial 
ports, four relays, four I/O ports, an IR receiver port and a Cresnet port. 
The MP2 Series also have built-in A/V switches. Equipped with a 4x2 
composite video matrix switcher (alternatively, it may be configured as a 2x1 S-
video switcher) and a 7x1 stereo audio switcher/controller, including volume, 
bass and treble controls and a parametric equalization. 
The MP2E provides connectivity for communication and control of Cresnet, IP 
and third party devices on the network. 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 extended memory, the 2-Series control systems are ideal 
for enhanced applications like media help desks, videoconferencing, distance 
learning, and entertainment facilities. 
For additional information, refer to the latest version of the MP2/MP2E Media 
Processor Operations Guide (Doc. 6175) available from the Crestron website

MP2 Master Mode 
In master mode, the MP2/MP2E is a standalone 2-Series control system that 
controls serial, Cresnet and Ethernet devices (MP2E only), while providing 
sophisticated A/V switching and processing capabilities. 
MP2 Slave Mode 
In Cresnet or Ethernet slave mode, the MP2/MP2E operates as part of a larger 
2-Series control system, where the programming resides in a separate 2-Series 
processor that acts as the system master.
