MPB4-201-B

The 4-Series® Media Presentation Button Panel 201 (MPB4-201-B) is a wall-mounted, PoE powered control panel that works with 3-Series and 4-Series Control Systems. Its customizable backlit capacitive buttons provide an ideal user interface for controlling AV and other functions. It offers fully-programmable functionality, supports web and cloud-based configuration and management, and integrates with Crestron Fusion® software as part of a complete managed enterprise solution.

Crestron® MPB4 series controllers are perfect for classrooms, meeting rooms, lecture halls, and training facilities. Use the MPB4-201-B to control a video display or AV system, adjust lighting and window shades, or any other custom application.

Customizable Backlit Capacitive Buttons

The MPB4-201-B features six backlit capacitive buttons, which can each be labeled using the icon chips provided, or custom labeled using laser-engravable chips (MPB3/MPC3-BTN3-B ENGRAVED, sold separately). Each button is backlit blue when active, and white when inactive to provide clear indication of what media source or lighting scene is currently selected. Four additional buttons are included at the bottom along with a volume gauge for control of volume, mute, and power.

All buttons on the MPB4-201-B are custom programmable to control any device or function. Built-in proximity sensing wakes the buttons as you approach, and Autobrightness control maintains optimal visibility of the buttons under varying lighting conditions.

Compatible with 3-Series and 4-Series Control Systems

The MPB4-201-B is compatible for control with Crestron 3-Series and 4-Series Control Systems. An Ethernet connection to the control system allows for a dynamic and secure platform capable of managing a room full of disparate technologies. Reliable networking and IP control afford seamless integration with other systems and devices, with add-on control capability using Crestron touch screens, wireless remotes, and mobile device apps.

Crestron Fusion Room Monitoring and Scheduling

Crestron Fusion provides an integrated platform for creating truly smart buildings that save energy and enhance worker productivity. As part of a complete managed network in a corporate enterprise, college campus, convention center, or any other facility, the MPB4-201-B works with Crestron Fusion to enable remote scheduling, monitoring, and control of rooms and technology from a central help desk or mobile app. It also enables organizations to reduce energy consumption by tracking real-time usage and automating control of AV, lighting, shades, and HVAC.

Crestron XiO Cloud® Service Support

The MPB4-201-B is compatible with the Crestron XiO Cloud® service, which is a platform for remotely provisioning, monitoring, and managing Crestron devices across an enterprise or an entire client base. The service enables installers and IT managers to deploy and manage thousands of devices simultaneously. Refer to www.crestron.com/xiocloud for more information.

Power over Ethernet

Using PoE technology, the MPB4-201-B gets its operating power directly through the LAN wiring. PoE (Power over Ethernet) eliminates the need for a local power supply or any dedicated power wiring. A PoE Injector (PWE-4803RU) simply connects in line with the LAN cable at any convenient location. Crestron PoE switches (CEN-SWPOE-10 or CEN-SWPOE-26) may also be used to provide a total networking solution with built-in PoE. All PoE injectors and switches are sold separately.

Wall Mount Installation

The MPB4-201-B is designed to be flush-mounted in a wall using a 1-gang European electrical box (not included), and made to easily replace an existing MPC3 Series Media Presentation Controller. It can also be installed in a lectern or podium with no back box. Using the optional retrofit mounting bracket (MPC3-101/102/201-RMB, sold separately), the MPB4-201-B can be installed in a 2-gang U.S. electrical box. Once installed, the button labels can be changed at any time by simply removing the front cover. A security screw is included to prevent unauthorized removal.

Tabletop Option

Using the optional Tabletop Kit (MPC3/MPB3‑TTK‑SQR‑B sold separately), the MPB4-201-B becomes a stylish, freestanding controller that fits perfectly on a table, desk, or countertop.

Third-Party Mounting Solution

The MPB4-201-B is also compatible with Wall‑Smart® retrofit mount products via a partnership with Crestron.
