DigitalMedia 8G+
DigitalMedia 8G provides a true one-wire transport for moving high-definition
video, audio, and Ethernet over low-cost twisted pair cable without compression or
repeaters. One eight-conductor twisted pair cable (sold separately) is required,
supporting distances up to 330 feet (100 meters) using Crestron DM 8G cable or
1
CAT5e.
DigitalMedia manages all of the various AV signals and devices in your system,
matching each source's output to the capabilities of the selected display(s). Every
signal is preserved in its native video resolution and audio format, ensuring a pure,
lossless signal path throughout.
Multimedia Computer/AV Interface
The DM-TX-201-C provides simple switching between two inputs. Its HDMI input
supports HDCP and handles WUXGA computer resolutions and 1080p60 HDTV
with multi-channel lossless audio. The HDMI input can also handle DVI and
DisplayPort Multimode signals using an appropriate adapter or dongle.
input handles analog RGB and VGA signals up to WUXGA 1920 x 1200 pixels as
well as analog video up to 1080p60.
to accept analog audio signals from an unbalanced line level or headphone output.
A single cable connects the DM-TX-201-C to a DM switcher or receiver,
transporting video, audio, control, networking, and power signals through one
1, 4
RJ-45 connection. Used with a single DM 8G+ receiver/room controller and
optional Crestron control system (both sold separately), the DM-TX-201-C
extends a multimedia computer or AV signal to a single display up to 330 feet
1
(100 meters) away. As part of a larger system using a DM switcher (sold
separately), multiple DM-TX-201-Cs may be installed to enable the distribution of
several sources at different locations to feed multiple displays throughout any room
or larger facility.
In addition to its DM output, there is also an HDMI output provided to feed a local
HDMI or DVI monitor, eliminating the need for an extra outboard distribution amp
or other hardware.
1. For DM 8G+ wiring up to 330 feet (100 meters) between devices, use Crestron DM-CBL-8G
DigitalMedia 8G cable, Crestron DM-CBL DigitalMedia cable, Crestron DM-CBL-D DigitalMedia D
cable, or generic CAT5e (or better) UTP or STP. Shielded cable and connectors are recommended to
safeguard against unpredictable environmental electrical noise which may impact performance at
resolutions above 1080p. Refer to the latest version of the Crestron DigitalMedia Infrastructure Guide
(Doc. 4556) for complete wiring guidelines and to the Crestron DigitalMedia Design Guide (Doc.
4789) for complete system design guidelines. All cable sold separately.
2. HDMI requires an appropriate adapter or interface cable to accommodate a DVI or DisplayPort
Multimode signal. CBL-HD-DVI interface cable sold separately.
3. The RGB input can accept component, composite, and S-video signals via direct interface to Crestron
MPS Series products (sold separately), or through an appropriate adapter (not included). Input sync
detection is not provided for composite or S-video signal types through the RGB connection.
4. Power over DM requires connection to a DM 8G+ power sourcing device.
