DigitalMedia 8G™ Fiber Receiver 100 Crestron DM-RMC-100-S

DigitalMedia 8G™

DigitalMedia 8G provides an eight gigabit AV distribution and control network. DM 8G delivers a one-wire transport for moving high-definition video, audio, and Ethernet over low-cost multimode fiber without any need for compression or hardware repeaters. One simplex multimode fiber optic cable (sold separately) is required, supporting distances of 1000 feet (~300 meters) using CresFiber Optic cable.

DigitalMedia manages all of the various AV signals and devices in your system, matching each source’s output to the capabilities of the selected display(s) without relying on scaling. Every signal is preserved in its native video resolution and audio format, ensuring a pure, lossless signal path throughout.

Multimedia Display Interface

A single HDMI digital AV output port is provided on the DM-RMC-100-S, supporting HDMI with Deep Color and HDCP, handling 1080p60 HDTV with multi-channel HD lossless audio as well as WUXGA computer resolutions—all through a single connection. The HDMI output can also handle DVI signals using an appropriate adapter or interface cable. ports are provided for controlling the display device and other equipment.

A single fiber strand connects the DM-RMC-100-S to a DM switcher or transmitter, transporting video, audio, control, and networking signals through one SC type optical connection.

Multiple DM-RMC-100-S receivers 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-S can be fed straight from a DM 8G Fiber transmitter to extend a computer or AV signal to a single display.

In addition, RS-232, IR, and Ethernet control

Fiber

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-S 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-S 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 these 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-S provides a gateway for controlling the display device right through the HDMI connection, potentially eliminating the need for any dedicated control wires or IR probes.

Low-Profile Installation

The DM-RMC-100-S mounts on a wall, ceiling, or other flat surface. 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, verifying the status of connections and signal activity at a glance.
