The DMC-C is an input card designed for use with any card-based
Crestron® DigitalMedia™ Switcher. It provides one DM 8G+™ input, with
associated HDMI® pass-through and analog audio outputs. The DM 8G+
input enables the connection of a DM 8G+ transmitter, the output of
another DM® switcher, or an HDBaseT® certified source. Just one CAT5e
wire is required for connection to the DM 8G+ input, supporting distances
up to 330 feet (100 m).
CAT5e connection, providing a centralized power source for PoDM
compatible transmitters.
NOTE: Refer to model DMC-C-DSP for use with surround sound sources.
DigitalMedia 8G+
DigitalMedia 8G+ provides a true one-wire transport for moving highdefinition video, audio, power, and Ethernet over low-cost twisted-pair
cable without any compression or repeaters. Engineered for ultra highbandwidth and ultimate scalability, DM 8G+ handles uncompressed video
beyond high-definition with support for Full HD 1080p, 2K, 3D, Deep Color,
and HDCP. Audio capabilities include support for high-bitrate 7.1 audio
formats like Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio™ as well as
uncompressed linear PCM. All signals are transported over one
8-conductor twisted-pair cable, supporting distances up to 330 feet
(100 m) using Crestron DM 8G® Cable or CAT5e.
HDBaseT® Certified
Crestron DigitalMedia 8G+ technology is designed using HDBaseT Alliance
specifications, ensuring interoperability with other HDBaseT certified
products. An HDBaseT compliant device can be connected directly to the
DM 8G+ input on the DMC-C without requiring a DM transmitter.

HDMI® Pass-Through
Every DM switcher input card includes an HDMI output port, which can be
used to pass the input signal through to a local audio processor or video
monitor, or to feed a second DM switcher for output expansion purposes.
Audio Extracting
The DMC-C also includes an unbalanced analog audio output, allowing
stereo audio signals to be extracted from the digital input and fed to a
multiroom audio distribution system. The output volume is adjustable via
a control system using a keypad, touch screen, handheld remote, or
mobile device.

NOTE: For applications requiring the simultaneous distribution of multichannel surround sound and 2-channel stereo audio signals, use model
DMC-C-DSP.
Power over DM
®
Power over DM (PoDM) and Power over HDBaseT (PoH) can be supplied
through the DMC-C via its DM 8G+ input port to power a compatible
DM 8G+ transmitter or HDBaseT device. To enable PoDM or PoH, simply
connect a PoDM Power Supply (model DM-PSU-8 or DM-PSU-16
POE IN port on the input card. As an alternative to a PoDM Power Supply,
a Crestron PoE switch, PoE injector, or other 802.3af or 802.3at compliant
PoE PSE may be used.

Standalone DM 8G+ Receiver
In addition to its use as an input card for DM switchers, the DMC-C may
also be used with the DMCI DigitalMedia Card Interface
8G+ receiver solution that’s perfect for installation in an equipment rack or
AV cart, or as a portable display interface.
To configure a DM switcher complete with input and output cards,
cables, and other peripherals, please use the online DigitalMedia
Switcher Configuration Tool.
