A wall-mounted, PoE+ powered control panel that works with 3-Series and 4-Series Control Systems. Features a modern appearance with customizable backlit buttons and volume knob. Mounts in a 2-gang U.S. electrical box.
Overview
The MPB4-301 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 XiO Cloud® 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 MPB4-301-B to control a video display or AV system, adjust lighting and window shades, or perform a custom function via programming.
Customizable Backlit Capacitive Buttons
The MPB4-301-B features five backlit capacitive buttons, which can each be labeled using the icon chips provided, or custom labeled using laser-engravable chips . 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. A volume knob is included, encircled by a blue volume gauge to indicate the audio volume setting. Additional buttons are provided for power and mute control.
All buttons on the MPB4-301-B are custom programmable to control any device or function. Built-in autobrightness control maintains optimal visibility of the buttons under varying lighting conditions.
NOTE: For information about ordering custom button labels, refer to the MPB4/MPC4-BTN5-B ENGRAVED (black) or MPB4/MPC4-BTN5-W ENGRAVED (white) web pages. Refer to the PDF version of the MPB4-301-B spec sheet for a list of supplied labels.
Compatible with 3-Series and 4-Series Control Systems\
The MPB4-301-B is compatible for control with Crestron 3-Series Control Systems, 4-Series Control Systems, and Virtual Control. 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 XiO Cloud® Service Support
The MPB4-301-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 Plus
Using PoE+ technology, the MPB4-301-B gets its operating power directly through the LAN wiring. PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus) eliminates the need for a local power supply or any dedicated power wiring. 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+ switches are sold separately.
Wall Mount Installation
The MPB4-301-B is designed to be flush-mounted in a wall using a 2-gang U.S. 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. 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.
