The DMC-4K-CO-HD-HDCP2 is an output card designed for use with any
card-based Crestron® DigitalMedia™ Switcher. It provides two independent
DM 8G+® outputs, plus one HDMI® output. The HDMI output carries the
same signal as the first DM 8G+ output. Both DM 8G+ outputs are
compatible with HDBaseT®. Using a single CAT type twisted pair cable,
each DM 8G+ output enables connection to a DM 8G+ receiver, the input
of another DM® switcher, or an HDBaseT certified display device
or receiver.

[1]

4K Ultra HD

All outputs on the DMC-4K-CO-HD-HDCP2 are capable of handling video
resolutions up to 4K and Ultra HD. Support for 4K video also ensures
support for the latest generation of computers and monitors with native
resolutions beyond 1080p and WUXGA.

Bonus HDMI® Output

A single HDMI output is included on the DMC-4K-CO-HD-HDCP2, which
functions in parallel with the first DM 8G+ output. Both outputs may be
used simultaneously to split a single switched signal to feed two
separate devices.

CEC Embedded Device Control

DigitalMedia offers an alternative to conventional RS-232 and IR display
control by harnessing the CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) signal
embedded in HDMI. Through its connection to a control system (via the
DM switcher), the DMC-4K-CO-HD-HDCP2 provides a gateway for
controlling display devices right through their HDMI or HDBaseT
connections, potentially eliminating the need for any dedicated control
wires or IR emitters.

Power over DM

®

Power over DM (PoDM) technology affords a true one-wire solution by
supplying power to each connected device over the same wire that carries
video, audio, and data signals. To enable PoDM power sourcing through
either DM 8G+ output port (DM OUT), simply connect a compatible PoDM
or PoE power source to its companion PoE/PoDM input port (POE IN).
Compatible power sources include Crestron models DM-PSU-8,
DM-PSU-16, DM-PSU-ULTRA-MIDSPAN, and CEN-SWPOE-16, or any
IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at compliant PoE PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment).

DigitalMedia 8G+

®

Engineered for ultra high-bandwidth and ultimate scalability,
DigitalMedia 8G+ (DM 8G+) provides a true one-wire lossless transport for
moving high-definition video, audio, power, Ethernet, and control signals
over twisted pair copper wire. DM 8G+ transports uncompressed Full HD
1080p, WUXGA, and 2K signals over distances up to 330 feet (100 m)
using Crestron DM Ultra Cable, Crestron DM 8G® Cable, or third-party
CAT5e. Higher resolution signals up to UHD and 4K are supported over
distances up to 330 feet (100 m) using DM Ultra Cable, 230 feet (70 m)
using DM 8G Cable, or 165 feet (50 m) using CAT5e.

[1]

HDBaseT® Certified

Crestron DigitalMedia 8G+ technology is designed using HDBaseT Alliance
specifications, ensuring interoperability with other HDBaseT certified
products. Either DM 8G+ output can be connected directly to an HDBaseT
compliant device without requiring a DM receiver.

crestron.com | 800.237.2041

Support for PoDM+ is enabled using a DM-PSU-ULTRA-MIDSPAN,
CEN-SWPOE-16, or third-party 802.3at Type 2 PSE. PoDM++ power
sourcing is enabled using a DM-PSU-ULTRA-MIDSPAN. PoDM may also be
used to power HDBaseT PoE powered devices.

[2]

To configure a DM switcher complete with input and output cards,
cables, and other peripherals, please use the online DigitalMedia

Switcher Configuration Tool.

Are you upgrading an existing DM switcher that has older “multi-gang”
DMCO-series output cards? Use the online Output Card Additions and

Upgrades Tool to update your existing output cards and switcher to the

new “single-gang” output card format.

Notes:

1. The maximum cable length for DigitalMedia 8G+ (DM 8G+) or HDBaseT is dependent upon

the type of cable and resolution of the video signal. Refer to the “Maximum Cable Lengths”
table for a detailed overview. Crestron legacy cable models DM-CBL DigitalMedia Cable and

DM-CBL-D DigitalMedia D Cable support the same resolutions and cable lengths as CAT5e.

Shielded cable and connectors are recommended to safeguard against unpredictable environ­mental electrical noise which may impact performance at resolutions above 1080p. Refer to
the Crestron DigitalMedia Design Guide, Doc. #4546 for complete system design guidelines.
DM 8G+ is compatible with HDBaseT Alliance specifications for connecting to HDBaseT
compliant equipment. All wire and cables are sold separately.

2. To enable PoDM or HDBaseT PoE power sourcing via either DM OUT port, the corresponding

POE IN port must be connected to a PoDM power supply (DM-PSU-8, DM-PSU-16, or

DM-PSU-ULTRA-MIDSPAN) or an 802.3af or 802.3at compliant PoE PSE (CEN-SWPOE-16 or

third-party). PoDM+ and HDBaseT PoE+ are supported using the DM-PSU-ULTRA-MIDSPAN,
CEN-SWPOE-16, or other 802.3at Type 2 Class 4 compliant PoE+ PSE. PoDM++ power
sourcing is supported using the DM-PSU-ULTRA-MIDSPAN. Refer to the connected DM 8G+
or HDBaseT devices for their PoDM or HDBaseT PoE capabilities and requirements. Any wiring
that is connected to a PoDM, PoE, or HDBaseT PoE PSE port is for intra-building use only and
should not be connected to a line that runs outside of the building in which the PSE is located.

3. DVI is supported via the HDMI output using a suitable adapter or interface cable. CBL-HD-DVI

interface cables are available separately.
