The DMC-HDO is an output card designed for use with any card-based
Crestron® DigitalMedia™ Switcher. It provides two independent HDMI®
outputs with complementary balanced analog stereo audio outputs. The
HDMI outputs are each capable of handling video resolutions up to Full HD
1080p, as well as computer resolutions up to WUXGA. DVI signals are also
supported using HDMI-to-DVI adapters or interface cables.

Each HDMI output on the DMC-HDO is accompanied by a balanced analog
audio output, allowing stereo audio signals to be extracted from the digital
stream and fed to a sound system. The output volume is adjustable via a
control system using a keypad, touch screen, handheld remote, or
mobile device.

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-HDO provides a gateway for controlling display devices
right through their HDMI connections, potentially eliminating the need for
any dedicated control wires or IR emitters.

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.

http://www.crestron.com/dmresources/ for additional design tools and

reference documents.

MODELS & ACCESSORIES

Notes:

1. DVI is supported via either HDMI output using a suitable adapter or interface cable.

CBL-HD-DVI interface cables are available separately.

2. The analog stereo audio outputs are only active when the selected input source is outputting
a 2-channel stereo signal. For applications using multichannel surround sound sources, the
DM switcher should be equipped with ìDSPî type input cards, which can downmix the surround
sound signals to stereo.
