It provides 6 assignable push buttons, dedicated volume and mute controls, a power button, and a proximity sensor for wake-on-approach functionality. The compact square footprint accommodates multiple mounting configurations, including single-gang European box, two-gang US box (with adapter), lectern, and tabletop installations. This product is discontinued but remains available for purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MPC4-201-B sits on the 4-Series platform, which supports Crestron control programming via SIMPL, SIMPL#, and Crestron Studio. Its six assignable projected capacitive push buttons accept icon chips to identify AV source, display, or system functions. Each button uses white LEDs when inactive and blue LEDs when active, providing clear visual feedback in any lighting condition. The volume section includes a blue LED bargraph display for visual level indication alongside the dedicated -\/+ and mute buttons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 940 nm laser proximity sensor with an adjustable detection range of 8–35 inches (20–90 cm) wakes the controller when a user approaches, eliminating the need to press a button to activate the panel. An ambient light sensor enables automatic LED brightness adjustment. Audible key click feedback is configurable at three volume levels or disabled entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower is supplied over PoE (IEEE 802.3at Type 1 \/ 802.3af compatible, Class 0, 12.95W max; 3W typical), with a 1000 Mbps Ethernet connection for communications. The controller includes 2 GB SDRAM and mounts in a 3.42 × 3.42 in. square footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 assignable projected capacitive push buttons with icon chips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated mute, volume -\/+, and power buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue LED bargraph volume display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite (inactive) \/ blue (active) button LED indicators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e940 nm laser proximity sensor, 8–35 in. adjustable range, for wake-on-approach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmbient light sensor for automatic LED brightness adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfigurable audible key click (3 levels + off)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoE IEEE 802.3at \/ 802.3af powered — no external power supply required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1000 Mbps Ethernet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-mount: 1-gang European (DIN 49073), 2-gang US (with adapter), lectern, tabletop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-Series platform: compatible with SIMPL, SIMPL#, and Crestron Studio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConference room AV source selection and display control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassroom lectern or tabletop presentation controller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoardroom or training room with multiple assignable AV inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorporate standardized room control deployments using Crestron 4-Series processors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallations where wake-on-approach reduces the need for user interaction to activate AV systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAssignable Push Buttons\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 (projected capacitive, with icon chips)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdditional Buttons\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1× Mute, 2× Volume -\/+, 1× Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVolume Display\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue LED bargraph\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eButton LEDs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite (inactive) \/ Blue (active)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProximity Sensor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e940 nm laser, 8–35 in.

When a user approaches within that range, the controller wakes from its idle state, lighting the button LEDs and making the panel ready for input without requiring a button press.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eCan the MPC4-201-B mount in a standard US single-gang wall box?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eNo. The controller fits a 1-gang European (DIN 49073) box directly, or a 2-gang US box using an optional adapter plate. It also supports lectern and tabletop mounting.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWhat AV control functions can be assigned to the six push buttons?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eThe six assignable buttons can be programmed to control any function supported by the connected 4-Series control processor — including AV source selection, display power, video routing, lighting scenes, or system presets. Icon chips are used to label each button for the end user.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eDoes the MPC4-201-B require a Crestron control processor?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes. The MPC4-201-B is an input device and does not contain its own AV control logic. It requires connection to a compatible Crestron 4-Series control processor running a control program.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eIs the MPC4-201-B still manufactured?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eNo. The MPC4-201-B is a discontinued product. It remains available for purchase from existing inventory. Integrators planning new installations should evaluate current 4-Series keypad options for long-term availability.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e","brand":"Crestron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47759598616812,"sku":"MPC4-201-B","price":1090.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/master_photo_a-MPC4-201-B_FrontLeft15_faa8f100-2735-4308-adb0-3219bbdd0d9f.png?v=1781803369","url":"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/crestron-mpc4-201-b","provider":"Creation Networks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
