At the heart of the AV2 is the breakthrough
2-Series Control Engine, based on the hot new 257 MIPS,
32-bit Motorola ColdFire® processor. Onboard 34MB memory
is enhanced with a 4GB expansion slot that supports off-the-shelf
Type II compact flash memory and the IBM Microdrive®
hard disk drive, for on-board storage of program and touchpanel
files, room and equipment profiles, upgrades, databases
and schedules.
Crestron's unique Dual Bus system, with
its high-speed I/O bus architecture, provides blazing fast
throughput, system wide. This Dual Bus architecture also
lets you upgrade to new, higher performance expansion cards,
while still using your existing cards and software pro-grams.
The 40Mb/s Y-Bus supports existing CNX control cards and
serves as the pipeline for IR, serial communications and
relays. And the 300Mb/s Z-Bus is designed for super high
speed control card applications such as 10/100 Ethernet,
and future USB, USBII, FireWire, disk drive arrays and more.
The AV2 also provides true secure network
communications required for today's corporate networks and
the Internet with a variety of plug-in 10/100 Ethernet cards.
Using the dual port Ethernet card, a built-in Firewall delivers
the ultimate in security, with on-board Network Address
Translator (NAT) and Router functions. It supports static
IP addressing and full duplex TCP/IP and UDP/IP, and offers
a WAN port for Internet and Corporate-wide communications
and a LAN port for Room and AV Private Network use. And
the built-in Web Server provides the ultimate in help desk
functions, and uses memory storage on a compact flash card
for remote access and control.
The 2-Series real-time operating system
is vastly upgraded, yet compatible with existing Crestron
software and programming. A key feature is the Crestron
Compiler, which allows any existing Crestron SIMPL™
Windows® control program to be easily recompiled for
the 2-Series. The real-time, preemptive multi-tasking/multi-threaded
operating system offers a FAT32 file system with long file
names for easy and open file management. And the enhanced
SIMPL+™ instruction set is also fully compatible with
existing Crestron SIMPL™ Windows® and SIMPL+™
programs.
With its blinding speed, massive memory
and revolutionary Dual Bus architecture, the AV2 is built
from the ground up for high performance, secure Internet
communications and Dynamic Expansion Capabilities. Designed
for reliability and reinforced by Crestron's True Blue Customer
Support, it's part of the complete Crestron line of advanced
solutions for audio/video/Internet distribution and control.
