Crestron AM3-212 KIT – AirMedia Series 3 Wireless Presentation Kit with TX3-100

Product Overview

The Crestron AM3-212 KIT bundles the AM-3200-WF AirMedia Series 3 wireless presentation receiver with two AM-TX3-100 USB-C dongle adaptors and a cradle, providing a plug-and-play wireless presentation solution for conference rooms and huddle spaces where users carry their own adaptor rather than using a permanent tabletop transmitter. The AM-TX3-100 dongles plug directly into a laptop’s USB-C port with no software installation required and connect wirelessly to the AM-3200-WF receiver via Wi-Fi 6 for 4K30 presentation. The cradle charges and stores up to four AM-TX3-100 units. This kit is suited for hot-desking environments, huddle rooms, and any space where users expect a hardware-first, app-free presentation experience.

Product Description

The AM-3200-WF receiver at the core of this kit supports Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) dual-band wireless with two external antennas, wired Ethernet at 100/1000 Mbps, a local 1080p60 HDMI input, and a 4K60 HDMI output to the room display. AirMedia Canvas supports up to four simultaneous wireless sources in a configurable layout, mixing dongles, app-based connections, Apple Screen Mirroring, and Chrome Extension from Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and Chromebook devices. Enterprise security features include IEEE 802.1X authentication, Active Directory support, AES content encryption, TLS, and SSL. The AM-TX3-100 dongle is a compact USB-C device — one end plugs into the laptop’s USB-C port (DisplayPort Alt Mode required), the other end has a USB-A connector for USB power delivery from the host. The dongle operates entirely on bus power from the host device with no external power supply, consuming 2.5 W typical. Wi-Fi 6 dual-band with Wi-Fi Direct pairing connects it to the AM-3200-WF receiver at up to 70 feet and 80 Mbps. Maximum presentation resolution is 4K30. Because the AM-TX3-100 requires only USB-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode, it is compatible with virtually all modern Windows and Mac laptops without driver installation. The included cradle stores and charges up to four AM-TX3-100 dongles, keeping them ready for the next user. The receiver outputs balanced/unbalanced stereo audio via a 5-pin 3.5 mm terminal block and supports 2-way RS-232 and 1-way IR/serial display control. The AM-3200-WF is PoE-capable (IEEE 802.3af) for single-cable power and network connection. XiO Cloud provides centralized management, monitoring, and firmware updates across multi-room deployments.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the AM3-212 KIT and AM3-222 KIT?
The AM3-212 KIT includes two AM-TX3-100 USB-C dongles and a cradle — plug-in adaptors users carry or store at the room. The AM3-222 KIT includes two AM-TX3-200 tabletop endpoints with HDMI input, dual USB-C ports, wired Ethernet, and USB conferencing peripheral access. The AM3-212 KIT is better for huddle rooms and hot-desking; the AM3-222 KIT is better for conference rooms requiring permanent table boxes with USB conferencing integration.

Does the AM-TX3-100 require any software on the laptop?
No. The AM-TX3-100 is plug-and-play via the USB-C port with no driver or app installation required. The laptop only needs a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode.

Does my laptop’s USB-C port support DisplayPort Alt Mode?
Most modern business laptops with USB-C or Thunderbolt ports support DisplayPort Alt Mode, but not all. Check your laptop specifications or Thunderbolt logo; older USB-C ports without DisplayPort Alt Mode will not work with the AM-TX3-100. The AM-TX3-200 (in the AM3-222 KIT) offers an HDMI input as an alternative.

Can the AM-TX3-100 be used without Wi-Fi (wired)?
No. The AM-TX3-100 transmits wirelessly only. It does not have a wired Ethernet port. For wired connection capability, use the AM-TX3-200 (included in the AM3-222 KIT).

How many sources can present simultaneously?
The AM-3200-WF supports AirMedia Canvas with up to four simultaneous wireless sources in a configurable layout on the room display.

Is the AM-3200-WF receiver powered by PoE?
Yes. The AM-3200-WF is IEEE 802.3af PoE compliant as a powered device. A PoE-capable switch port or mid-span injector is required; no separate power adapter is needed at the receiver.
