Crestron Media Player Setup Guide for MMS
Server Requirements
The server must be running at least version 4.5.x.x of our firmware. To update to this version, open a telnet connection to port 23 of
the server and send autoupdate hotfix. If assistance is required in updating the firmware, please contact our Technical Support team at
+1-914-598-1647 or [email protected].
Crestron Requirements
The device objects for the MMS-5A and MMS-2 are only available in Crestron Device Database 49.05.004.00 and greater. Please make sure
this database and any of its prerequisites are fully updated before proceeding.
Crestron Configuration
1. Add either the MMS-5A device module or the MMS-2 device module to the program just like any other device.
2. Extend the device module with an Ethernet Offline Manager.
3. Extend the touch panel device module with a Media Player Application.
4. Add one Media Object Router per touch panel.
Note: Each touch panel will make its own connection back to the server, so each touch panel needs its own router module.
5. Connect the CRPC_FB serial outputs of the MMS module to the CRPC_From_Device_n serial inputs on the Media Object router on
the touch panel.
6. Similarly, connect the CRPC_To_Device_n serial outputs on the Media Object Router to the CRPC serial inputs on the MMS module.
7. Of course, match the feedback and control signal per device. For example, the feedback and control signals for Main on the
MMS-5A module should be attached to the same device line on the Media Object Router.
8. On the Media Object Router, attach the Offline signal from the MMS module’s EOM to each Device_n_is_Offline that has an in-use
device for feedback and control at the top of the Media Object Router.
9. Configure the rest of the Media Object Router normally.
10. Take note of the IP-ID assigned to the MMS module, as it is necessary for the MMS configuration. Also, take note of which players
you’ve configured on the MMS module, as the selection of players is necessary for the MMS configuration.
11. Compile and upload the program and the VTPro files to the processor and touch panels, respectively.

MMS Configuration
1. Once the server’s firmware is at least 4.5.x.x, navigate to the Source Settings tab on the server’s web configuration page
(http://<server-ip>/Config/Sources.aspx).
2. In the section titled Control System, select Crestron Media Player from the dropdown menu.
3. Once selected, options will appear per MMS output to allow configuration for Crestron Media Player control.
4. Options are available per output so that each output can be controlled by a separate Crestron processor if need be.
5. Using the checkbox in the Controlled column, select which outputs are in use by the Crestron system.
6. Enter the processor IP address for the selected outputs.
7. Enter the IP-ID that corresponds to the MMS module on the configured processor.
8. The mapping of output on the server to Players on the Media Device in SIMPL Windows is set for you.
a. An MMS-2 will always have:
i. Main mapped to position 1
ii. Player_A mapped to position 2
b. An MMS-5A will always have:
i. Main mapped to position 1
ii. Player_A mapped to position 2
iii. Player_B mapped to position 3
iv. Player_C mapped to position 4
v. Player_D mapped to position 5
vi. USB DACs mapped to position 6
9. Once all settings are entered, press the large Save Changes button near the top of the page.
