DM-RMC-100-C

Introduction

The DM-RMC-100-C provides a simple one-box interface solution for a single display device as part of a complete Crestron

®

DigitalMedia™ system. It functions as a DM 8G+™ receiver and control interface, providing a single HDMI

®

output along with Ethernet, RS-232, and IR control ports. In addition to DM 8G+, it is also compatible with HDBaseT™ specifications, allowing it to be connected directly to any HDBaseT compliant source. Its compact low-profile design allows the

DM-RMC-100-C to be installed discreetly behind a flat panel display or above a ceiling mounted projector. It connects to the head end or source location using a single CAT5e or Crestron DM 8G

®

cable.

1.

For DM 8G+ wiring, 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. Maximum wire length for DM 8G+ is 330 feet (100 meters) between devices. 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 Design Guide (Doc. 4546) for complete system design guidelines. It is available from the Crestron Web site at www.crestron.com/dmresources . DM 8G+ is also compatible with HDBaseT

Alliance specifications for connecting to HDBaseT compliant equipment. All wire and cables sold separately.

2.

HDMI requires an appropriate adapter or interface cable to accommodate a DVI signal. CBL-HD-DVI interface cable sold separately.

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. Engineered for ultra high bandwidth and ultimate scalability, DM 8G+ handles uncompressed video beyond high definition with support for HDCP, Deep

Color, and 3D. Audio capabilities include support for high bitrate 7.1 audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio as well as uncompressed linear

PCM. All signals are transported over one 8-conductor twisted pair cable (sold separately), supporting distances up to 330 feet (100 meters) using Crestron DM 8G cable or CAT5e.

HDBaseT

DigitalMedia 8G+ technology is designed using HDBaseT Alliance specifications, ensuring interoperability with third-party HDBaseT products. Via its DM 8G+ input, the DM-RMC-100-C can be connected directly to any HDBaseT compliant source without requiring a DM transmitter. HDBaseT connectivity through the

DM-RMC-100-C converges uncompressed full HD digital video, audio, Ethernet, power and control signals through a single CAT5e or CAT6 cable over distances up to 328 feet (100 meters).

Multimedia Display Interface

A single HDMI digital AV output port is provided on the DM-RMC-100-C, supporting HD 1080p video and WUXGA computer signals with HDCP, Deep

Color, 3D, and multi-channel HD lossless audio—all through one connection.

The HDMI output can also handle DVI signals using an appropriate adapter or interface cable.

A single cable connects the DM-RMC-100-C to a DM switcher or transmitter or to an HDBaseT source (each sold separately), transporting video, audio, control, networking, and power signals through one RJ-45 connection.

1, 2

Multiple

DM-RMC-100-Cs may be installed to handle each display in a multi-room distribution system, all fed from a central DM switcher. Or, a single

DM-RMC-100-C can be fed straight from a DM 8G+ transmitter, affording a very simple solution for extending a computer or AV signal to a single display.

1.

Receiving Power over DM (PoDM) or Power over HDBaseT (PoH) requires connection to a switcher or other equipment that has a PoDM or PoH PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) port.

2.

For DM 8G+ wiring, 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. Maximum wire length for DM 8G+ is 330 feet (100 meters) between devices. 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

LAN Connectivity

Along with high-definition AV and control, DigitalMedia also integrates high-speed

Ethernet networking for a total signal distribution solution. The DM-RMC-100-C includes a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet port, providing a convenient LAN connection for a local network device.

Embedded Device Control

The DM-RMC-100-C includes built-in RS-232, IR, and Ethernet control ports to allow programmable control of the display device connected to it. It can also provide an alternative to such conventional control methods by harnessing the CEC

(Consumer Electronics Control) signal embedded in HDMI. Through its connection to the control system, the DM-RMC-100-C provides a gateway for controlling the display device through the HDMI connection, potentially eliminating the need for any dedicated control wires or IR emitters.

Low-Profile Installation

The DM-RMC-100-C mounts conveniently on a wall, ceiling, or other flat surface.

At just one inch deep, it fits easily behind a flat panel display or above a ceiling mounted projector. All connections and LED indicators are positioned on the sides, ensuring optimal access and visibility for a clean, serviceable installation. An array of indicators is provided for easy setup and troubleshooting.
