Crestron DigitalMedia (DM) claims its fibre input cards and transmitter add new flexibility to the DM family of products.
According to the company, DM delivers the only complete, integrated solution for the digital age: reliable switching and distribution of all analogue audio and video, high-res computer, HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort, Ethernet and USB keyboard / mouse control.
DM fibre solutions are fully HDCP-compliant, and enable full 1080p60 with Deep Colour transmission up to 300m using Crestron CresFiber or third-party multimode fibre, ideal for multi-room and long distance cable runs.
The DMC-F and DMC-F-DSP cards provide a fibre input to the modular DM-MD8X8 and DM-MD16X16 switchers and the single-card DMCI enclosure.
In addition to providing a single HDMI digital AV output, both cards feature an analogue stereo audio output with programmable volume control.
Additional DSP processing is enabled by the DMC-F-DSP, which breaks out and simultaneously distributes uncompressed 7.1 channel HD surround sound and 2-channel audio.
The DMC-F-DSP is recommended for use with Blu-ray Disc players and other HD sources that output multi-channel surround sound audio via HDMI.
The DM-TX-100-F is a fibre transmitter that provides the ability to add remote sources to a DM switcher system up to 1,000 feet away.
Via its HDMI input, the DM-TX-100-F supports HDMI 1.3a w/Deep Colour and HDCP, handling WUXGA computer resolutions and 1080p60 HDTV with multi-channel HD lossless audio.
The HDMI input can also handle DVI and DisplayPort multimode signals using an adapter or dongle.
