2-Series Integrated Dual Bus Control System Crestron AV2 & PRO2

As with all of Crestron’s 2-Series control processors, the 2-Series Control Engine is

a solutions-driven control technology that is at the very heart of the AV2 and PRO2

Integrated Control Systems. With speed, power, and massive memory, the 2-Series

control systems are ideal for enhanced applications like media help desks,

videoconferencing, distance learning, and entertainment facilities.

The breakthrough 2-Series control engine is based on the new 257 MIPS, 32-bit

Motorola ColdFire



processor. Onboard 36MB 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, allowing 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 permits upgrade

to new, second generation, higher performance expansion cards, while still using

existing cards and software programs. The 40Mb/s Y-BUS supports existing CNX

control cards and serves as the pipeline for IR, serial communications, and relays.

The 300Mb/s Z-BUS is designed for super high-speed control card applications such

as 10/100 Ethernet, USB, USBII, FireWire, disk drive arrays and more.

The 2-Series also provides truly secure network communications, which is required

for today's corporate networks and the Internet. A Built-in Firewall delivers the

ultimate in security, with Network Address Translation and Router functions.

Network Address Translation (NAT) is a method of connecting multiple computers

on an internal network to the Internet (or any other IP network) using one publicly

visible IP address. Current implementation for the Crestron 2-Series control systems

includes a combination of the Network Address Port Translator protocol (NAPT) and

Bi-Directional NAT. NAT functionality is included in the firmware of Crestron 2-

Series control processors, and enabled through a dual port Ethernet Z-bus expansion

card such as the C2ENET-2. The Dual Port 10/100 BaseT Ethernet card supports

dynamic and static IP addressing and full duplex TCP/IP and UDP/IP. It offers a

WAN port for Internet and corporate-wide communications and a LAN port for

room use. For specific details on NAT, including setup and configuration, refer to

the Network Address Translator (NAT) document (latest version of Doc. 6001). It is

available from the Downloads | Product Manuals section of the Crestron website

(www.crestron.com

The built-in Web Server uses either internal memory or compact flash card memory

for remote access and control.

The 2-Series operating system is vastly upgraded, yet compatible with existing

Crestron software and programming. Any existing Crestron SIMPL™ Windows



control program can 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. The enhanced SIMPL+™ instruction set is also fully compatible with

existing Crestron SIMPL Windows and SIMPL+ programs.
