DigitalMedia 

As the leader in HDMI and control system technologies, Crestron

®

 has developed 

DigitalMedia, the first complete HD AV distribution system that takes HDMI to a 
higher level, and allows virtually any mix of AV sources to be distributed throughout 
the home, office, school, or virtually any other facility.  

DigitalMedia distributes uncompressed digital video and audio signals up to 450 feet 
(137 meters) using DM cable

1

. DigitalMedia thoughtfully manages all of the 

different signals and devices, matching each source’s output to the capabilities of the 
selected display(s) without using scaling or compression. 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-200-2G provides simple switching between two inputs. The  
DM-TX-400-3G provides versatile switching between four different video and audio 
inputs. The 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

. The RGB input handles all analog RGB signals up to WUXGA 1920x1200 

pixels, as well as component video up to 1080p60

3

. A mini-TRS stereo audio input is 

also provided to accept analog audio signals from an unbalanced line-level or 
headphone output. On the DM-TX-400-3G, both digital and analog audio signals are 
supported via HDMI, S/PDIF, and RCA inputs. 

Used with a single DM-RMC-100 Room Controller and optional Crestron Control 
System (both sold separately), the DM-TX-300-2G and DM-TX-400-3G afford very 
simple solutions for extending a multimedia computer or AV signal to a single 
display up to 450 feet (137 m) away

1

. As part of a larger system using a DM-MD 

series switcher, multiple DM-TX-200-2G and DM-TX-400-3Gs may be installed to 
enable the distribution of several sources at different locations to feed multiple 
displays throughout any room or larger facility.  

1.

For DigitalMedia CAT wiring, use DM-CBL DigitalMedia Cable. Up to two DM Repeaters (Model 
DM-DR, sold separately) may be required. Refer to the latest version of the Crestron DigitalMedia 
Design Guide (Doc. 4789) for complete wiring guidelines. 

2.

HDMI requires an appropriate adapter or interface cable to accommodate a DVI or DisplayPort 
Multimode signal. CBL-HD-DVI and CBL-DP-HD interface cables available separately. 

3.

The RGB input can accept component, composite, and S-video signals via direct interface to 
Crestron MPS Series products, or through an appropriate adapter (not included). Input sync detection 
is not provided for composite or S-video signal types through the RGB connection.
