DM-TX-200
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 or shorter distances using standard CAT5e/6*.
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
Via its HDMI input, the DM-TX-200 supports HDMI 1.3a with Deep Color and
HDCP, handling 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 1920 x 1200 pixels, as well as component
video up to 1080p60. A mini TRS stereo audio input is also provided to accept
analog audio signals from a headphone or unbalanced line-level output.
NOTE:
HDMI requires an appropriate adapter to accommodate a DVI or
DisplayPort Multimode signal. RGB connection requires an appropriate adapter to
accommodate a YP

Used with a single DM-RMC-100 Room Controller and optional Crestron Control
System (both sold separately), the DM-TX-200 affords a very simple solution for
extending a multimedia computer or AV signal to a single display up to 450 feet
(137 meters) away*. As part of a larger system using a DM switcher (sold
separately), multiple DM-TX-200s may be installed to enable distribution of several
sources at different locations to feed multiple displays throughout any room or larger
facility.
Keyboard/Mouse Extender
When connected to a DM switcher (sold separately), the DM-TX-200 also functions
as a keyboard/mouse extender, allowing a USB HID (Human Interface Device)
compliant keyboard and/or mouse connected at the podium or conference table to
control a computer or other host device located at the central equipment rack.
HID devices include mice, keyboards, trackballs and composite devices (e.g.
combination keyboard/trackball devices). These devices do not require driver
installation on most common operating systems (Windows XP/Vista and Mac OS).
There are four options for connecting USB devices to the
USB
port on the
DM-TX-200:
1. One
mouse
2. One
keyboard
3. One mouse and one keyboard connected through a USB hub
4. One composite USB device
* For DigitalMedia CAT wiring, use DM-CBL DigitalMedia Cable, CresCAT
®
D or quality
CAT5e/CAT6 cable. Do NOT use low-skew cable. The maximum allowable cable length depends on
multiple factors. One or more DM Repeaters, Model DM-DR (sold separately) may be required. Refer
