may experience a loss of quality over very long lengths of cable. This phenomenon is
due to the added resistance and capacitance of longer cable lengths and is not
peculiar to either Crestron and/or QuickMedia systems. To ensure sufficient
bandwidth, the maximum aggregate cable length should not exceed 450 feet. The use
of lower-resolution signals may allow increased cable length but must be tested by
the installer with the sources to be used. The QM pin assignment is based on the
EIA/TIA 568B RJ-45 Jack standard.
NOTE: When transmitting S-video, luminance uses the green video pathway and
chrominance uses the red video pathway. When transmitting composite video, the
signal is carried on the blue video pathway.
NOTE: When using CresCAT-QM wiring, four additional wires are included for
making Cresnet connections.
When connecting multiple QM devices, the route between a QM origination point
(transmitter) and a QM endpoint (receiver) cannot have more than two midpoints
(e.g. QM-MD8X8 or other QM switchers). Refer to the following diagram when
configuring a QM network.
NOTE: The aggregate length from transmitter to receiver cannot have a delay skew
or more than 22 ns.

Identity Code
The Net ID of the QM-MD8X8 has been factory set to 32. The Net IDs of multiple
QM-MD8X8 devices in the same system must be unique. Net IDs are changed from
a personal computer (PC) via the Crestron Toolbox™ (refer to “Establishing
Communication” on page 20).
When setting the Net ID, consider the following:
• The Net ID of each unit must match an ID code specified in the SIMPL™
Windows
®
program.
• Each network device must have a unique Net ID.
For more details, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file.
