Crestron AM-TX3-200 – AirMedia Series 3 Connect Endpoint

Product Overview

The Crestron AM-TX3-200 is the transmitter half of the AirMedia Series 3 wireless presentation system. It connects directly to a presenter's laptop or device and pairs with a compatible AirMedia Series 3 Receiver to deliver wireless content sharing and USB peripheral access in conference rooms, classrooms, and collaboration spaces.

Product Description

Designed for integrators and IT managers who need a reliable, low-latency wireless presentation solution, the AM-TX3-200 supports both HDMI and DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB-C inputs. The unit is powered via USB-C from the connected laptop, PoE from the network, or an optional DC power supply, giving installers flexibility in how the device is deployed. A dedicated AUX PoE+ port can pass network access and power to a downstream touch panel or other device.

The AM-TX3-200 supports dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) for high-throughput wireless streaming and handles resolutions up to 3840x2160 at 30Hz. All video inputs are scaled to the paired receiver's output resolution. Pairing is accomplished via a front-panel SETUP button, with a recessed RESET button for restoring factory defaults.

The AM-TX3-200 is available from Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the AM-TX3-200 require a separate receiver to function?

Yes. The AM-TX3-200 is a transmitter that must be paired with a compatible AirMedia Series 3 Receiver. The receiver connects to the room display and network; the AM-TX3-200 sends the wireless stream to it.

Can the AM-TX3-200 be powered without a network switch that supports PoE?

Yes. The device supports three power methods: PoE (IEEE 802.3af) from a network switch, USB-C power from the connected laptop, or the optional PW-2420RU DC power pack (sold separately, 24VDC 2.5A).

What USB peripherals are supported for conferencing?

The AM-TX3-200 supports most mainstream USB conferencing peripherals including cameras and speakerphones. Crestron maintains a compatibility list; refer to Crestron OLH Answer ID 1001764 for the current supported peripheral list.
