ZUMMESH-AVBRIDGE

The AV Bridge (ZUMMESH‑AVBRIDGE) is a wireless control integration module designed for use with Crestron® Battery‑Powered Wireless AV Keypads (ZUMMESH‑KPAVBATT) and Zūm® Wireless Battery‑Powered Occupancy and Vacancy Sensors (ZUMMESH‑PIR‑OCCUPANCY‑BATT and ZUMMESH‑PIR‑VACANCY‑BATT). It enables simple control of AV and other functions by connecting the keypads and sensors to a control system, computer, or Crestron AirMedia® Presentation System device.1 A simple, brand‑agnostic command set allows for integration with both Crestron and third‑party systems via RS‑232 or USB.2 The AV Bridge pairs wirelessly with up to eight keypads and eight sensors in a room without requiring a separate wireless gateway.3

AV Control System Integration, Control, and Monitoring

The AV Bridge allows a Zūm commercial lighting system to integrate with an AV control system. Connecting the systems enables bi-directional control and monitoring between the Zūm Mesh wireless devices in a Zūm commercial lighting system and the components in the AV control system.

Surface Mount

The Zūm AV Bridge is designed to be mounted to a wall or other flat surface. Care should be taken when positioning the device to avoid interference from nearby RF devices, obstructions, and metal surfaces.

Key Features

• Enables the use of Crestron® battery-powered wireless AV keypads with a Crestron control system

• Allows Zūm® occupancy and vacancy sensors to be used in non-Zūm applications

• Facilitates basic control of an AirMedia® Presentation System1

• Connects the keypads and sensors to a control system or computer

• Interfaces a complete Zūm commercial lighting system with a local AV control system

• Choice of RS-232 or USB interface

• Simple, brand-agnostic command set

• Zūm Mesh peer-to-peer wireless technology

• Ultra-compact, surface mount design

• 12-24 VDC or USB powered

1. Compatible with AM-200, AM-300, AM-3000-WF(-I), AM-3100-WF(-I), AM-3200, AM-3200-WF(-I), AM-3200-GV AirMedia Presentation Systems.

2. Use RS-232 for connection to a Crestron control system. Use USB for connection to a Crestron AirMedia® Presentation System device. When connected to a computer via USB, the interface appears as a virtual COM port . Connecting the USB port to any USB host disables the RS-232 port. Custom commissioning is required when integrating with a control system. Custom software is required when integrating with a computer.

3. The ZUMMESH-AVBRIDGE uses “Zūm Mesh” wireless technology to connect and communicate with the keypads, sensors, and lighting devices. Zūm Mesh is a peer-to-peer wireless mesh network designed to operate within a single room. The ZUMMESH-AVBRIDGE and all AC-powered Zūm Mesh devices function as routing nodes, which effectively extend the range of the wireless network within the room. Battery-powered devices only function as leaf nodes and do not extend range. Networks composed predominantly of battery-powered devices may require additional AC-powered devices, such as the ZUMMESH-JBOX-PSU, to serve as supplemental routing nodes to fill any gaps in coverage. Refer to the “Installation and Setup of Crestron RF Products, Best Practices” guide (Doc #6689) for additional guidelines.

4. Power supply not included. Connecting the USB port to a USB host disables the RS-232 port.
