Applying Power
NOTE: The DM-MD64X64 requires two 20 A @
100-127 Vac or two 10 A @ 200-240 Vac circuits.
The DM-MD128X128 requires three 20 A @
100-127 Vac or three 10 A @ 200-240 Vac circuits.
The DM-MD64X64 contains two power supplies;
the DM-MD128X128 contains three power supplies.
The power supplies provide load balancing and
power redundancy.
To apply power to the DM switcher, connect the
supplied ac power cords to the power inlets of the
switcher. Connect the other end of the power cords to
ac power using the same ac voltage type—either
120 Vac or 220 Vac.

Configuring Network Settings
Configure network settings on the “Ethernet Setup”
screen of the DM switcher user interface:
NOTE: The “Ethernet Setup” screen
automatically appears on the front panel touch
screen after the DM switcher boots up for the
first time.
1. Set DHCP to ON or OFF. The default setting is ON
2. (Optional) Enter a hostname.
3. (Optional) Enter a domain name.
4. (Applicable only if DHCP is set to OFF
IP address, subnet mask, and default router
address.
5. Set the system ID. The default setting is
NOTE: Private Network Mode (PNM) is always
enabled. When multiple DM switchers are
cascaded, assign a unique system ID to each
switcher. PNM uses the system ID of each
switcher to determine the internal IP address
used by each device in the DM system.
NOTE: Each DM switcher must connect directly
to the LAN. A DM switcher cannot connect to the
LAN through another DM switcher.
6. Set control system connection settings:
a. Enter the IP address or hostname of the control
system connected to the DM switcher.
b. Enter the IP ID of the DM switcher.
) Enter a static

To select an EDID configuration file:
1. On the “Input Blade” screen of a particular
blade, select Configure EDID for the input
whose EDID file is to be selected.
The “EDID Setup” screen appears, listing the
12 preconfigured EDID files in the Crestron
EDID List (default setting).
2. Scroll the list and then select the desired EDID
file.

A prompt appears asking confirmation that the
selected EDID file be sent to the input.
3. Select Yes to send the EDID file to the input.
The “EDID Setup” screen indicates the currently
selected EDID file.
4. If desired, select Copy to all inputs to send the
currently selected EDID file to all inputs of the
DM switcher; otherwise, select < Previous
Input or Next Input > as appropriate and repeat
steps 2 and 3 for each input.
Configuring DigitalMedia Endpoints
Advanced configuration tasks for DigitalMedia
endpoints (DM-TX transmitters and DM-RMC
receivers) include detailed scaler configuration and
configuration of video parameters (for example,
brightness and contrast). To perform such tasks,
refer to the DM-MD64X64/DM-MD128X128:
