DM-TX-200-2G/400-3G
Wall Plate DigitalMedia™ CAT Transmitters
Keyboard/Mouse Extender
When connected to a DM-MD series switcher, the DM-TX-200-2G and
DM-TX-400-3G function as keyboard/mouse extenders, allowing a USB HID
(Human Interface Device) compliant keyboard and/or mouse at the podium or
conference table to control a computer or other host device located at the central
equipment rack.
EDID Format Management
The DM-TX-200-2G and DM-TX-400-3G allow for management of the EDID
(Extended Display Identification Data) information that passes between the display
devices and input sources in the system. Using Crestron Toolbox™ software, the
format and resolution capabilities of each device can be assessed and managed
through the DM-TX-200-2G or DM-TX-400-3G, ensuring reliable operation by
instructing sources to output only the resolutions and formats that can be handled by
the displays and system wiring.
CEC Embedded Device Control
The primary objective of every Crestron system is to enable precisely the control
desired for a seamless user experience. DigitalMedia provides an alternative to
conventional IR and RS-232 device control by harnessing the CEC (Consumer
Electronics Control) signal embedded in HDMI. Through its connection to the
control system, the DM-TX-200-2G or DM-TX-400-3G provides a gateway for
controlling the connected source device right through the HDMI connection,
potentially eliminating the need for any dedicated control wires or IR probes.
Through proper CEC signal management, DigitalMedia allows you to take control of
each device in the system as you like.
Simple Wall Mount Design
The DM-TX-200-2G and DM-TX-400-3G are designed to be wall mounted using a
standard electrical box or plaster ring. The DM cable is terminated at the rear of the
transmitter using screw terminals. An array of indicators on the front of the
DM-TX-200-2G and DM-TX-400-3G provide for easy setup and troubleshooting,
verifying the status of connections and signal activity at a glance. Advanced
configuration is enabled through Crestron Toolbox software.
A Digital Upgrade for Legacy Systems
The DM-TX-200-2G and DM-TX-400-3G also afford perfect signal converters for
integrating DigitalMedia with analog-based systems like Crestron MPS,
QuickMedia
®
, and the CEN-RGBHV Series (all sold separately). A simple HD15
VGA cable connected between the output of an MPS system and the input of the
DM-TX-200-2G or DM-TX-400-3G allows every RGB, component, S-video, and
composite video input on the MPS to be converted to DigitalMedia*. Analog audio
is converted similarly through a simple unbalanced stereo audio cable. The
HDMI input may also be used to expand the input capabilities of the MPS system to
handle digital AV sources.
*
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.
