{"product_id":"crestron-mc4-r","title":"Crestron MC4-R – 4-Series Control System for Crestron Home OS","description":"\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Crestron MC4-R is a compact 4-Series control processor running Crestron Home OS, engineered for residential automation deployments. It serves as the central controller for lighting, shading, climate, AV, and security in single-home or multi-zone installations. PoE-powered via a single CAT cable, it installs cleanly in structured wiring enclosures, DIN rail kits, or surface mount locations without requiring a dedicated power outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MC4-R connects to the home network via Gigabit Ethernet and supports infiNET EX 2-way wireless for up to 50 ft range communication with keypads, sensors, and remotes. Cresnet server mode enables wired peripheral distribution with 2.5 W available power. The processor includes RS-232, four IR outputs, two relay outputs, and two Versiport I\/O ports for flexible integration with AV equipment, motorized devices, and sensors. BACnet\/IP is supported for light commercial applications. USB 2.0 Type-A accepts up to 1 TB mass storage for media or programming assets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-Series multicore processor running Crestron Home OS for residential automation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoE-powered (IEEE 802.3at Type 1 \/ 802.3af Class 0, 12.95 W max); 7 W typical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCresnet server mode with 2.5 W available power for wired peripherals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003einfiNET EX 2-way 2.4 GHz wireless (IEEE 802.15.4), 50 ft range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x RS-232 (115.2k baud), 4x IR outputs (1.2 MHz), 2x relays, 2x Versiports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 GB SDRAM, 8 GB Flash, microSD expansion up to 32 GB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBACnet\/IP (up to 500 BACnet objects)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertifications: Intertek Listed (US \u0026amp; Canada), IC, FCC Part 15 Class B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentral control processor for a Crestron Home OS whole-home automation system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-zone lighting, shade, and climate control hub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWiring closet PoE-powered controller in a structured wiring enclosure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResidential AV system controller integrated with infiNET EX wireless keypads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDIN rail mounted automation processor in a Crestron CAEN or third-party enclosure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e MC4-R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.0 lb (454 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (H x W x D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.07 in. x 10.15 in. x 5.11 in.

It does not support open SIMPL or 4-Series commercial programming. For commercial programmability, the MC4 (without the R suffix) or CP4 are appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How many devices can the MC4-R control via infiNET EX wireless?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The MC4-R can communicate with infiNET EX devices within a 50 ft range. The maximum number of infiNET EX devices is determined by the Crestron Home OS system capacity, not by the wireless protocol itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the MC4-R suitable for large estate installations?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The MC4-R is appropriate for medium-sized residential systems. Large estate installations with extensive I\/O requirements, multiple Cresnet networks, or commercial-scale control should consider the CP4-R or CP4 processor.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crestron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47759598158060,"sku":"MC4-R","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/master_photo_a-MC4-R_FrontLeft15.png?v=1781802608","url":"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/crestron-mc4-r","provider":"Creation Networks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
