The DMC-SO-HD is an output card designed for use with any card-based
Crestron® DigitalMedia™ Switcher. It provides two independent DM 8G®
Fiber outputs, plus one HDMI® output. The HDMI output carries the same
signal as the first DM 8G Fiber output. Each DM 8G Fiber output enables
connection to a DM 8G Fiber Receiver, or the input of another DM®
switcher, using a single strand of multimode fiber.

[1]

All outputs on the DMC-SO-HD are capable of handling video resolutions
up to Full HD 1080p, as well as computer resolutions up to WUXGA. DM 8G
Fiber transports uncompressed high-definition video and computer signals
over distances up to 1000 feet (300 m) using CresFiber® 8G, or 500 feet
(150 m) using other multimode fiber optic cable.

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.

Please refer to the DigitalMedia Resources Webpage at
