HDBaseT® Alliance Certified
Crestron DigitalMedia 8G+ technology is designed using HDBaseT Alliance
specifications, ensuring interoperability with other HDBaseT certified products. Via
its DM 8G+ outputs, the DM-MD6X4 and DM-MD6X6 can be connected directly to
HDBaseT compliant display devices without requiring any DM
Quickswitch HD
Handling high-definition digital media means handling HDCP (High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection), which is the encryption scheme that content providers
use to protect their DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, and broadcast signals against unauthorized
copying. Viewing HDCP encrypted content requires the source device to
"authenticate" each display in the system and to issue it a key before the content can
be viewed. Ordinarily, this process causes a complete loss in signal for up to
15 seconds each time a new source or display is selected anywhere in the system.
Additionally, every source device has a limited number of keys available, so if too
many devices are connected, the source stops outputting a signal without warning.
Crestron Quickswitch HD solves this problem by managing keys for every
HDCP-compliant device in the system, maintaining continuous authentication for
each device to ensure fast, reliable routing of any source to any number of disp la y
devices.
®
receivers.
Auto-Locking® Technology
Crestron Auto-Locking technology enables high-speed signal switching by
instantaneously configuring every device in the signal path as soon as the signal
reaches the first device. Whether switching between sources or TV channels,
Auto-Locking significantly reduces the time it takes each device to sense the new
signal and to configure itself to handle the changes, virtually eliminating any
noticeable gap while switching.
EDID Format Management
The DM-MD6X4 and DM-MD6X6 manage the EDID (Ext e nded Display
Identification Data) that modern digital devices use to communicate their
capabilities. Through the DM-MD6X4 and DM-MD6X6, the format and resolut i on
capabilities of each device can be assessed, allowing the installer to configure EDID
signals appropriately for the most desirable and predictable behavior.
A Scaler for Every Display
Scaling capability can be added to the DM-MD6X4 and DM-MD6X6 using select
DM 8G+ receivers (sold separately) with built-in HD and 4K scalers.
independent high-performance scaler at every display device, DigitalMedia truly
delivers the most flexible and user-friendly solution for routing multiple disparate
sources to many different display devices. This “Distributed Scaler Approach”
ensures an optimal image on every screen no matter what sources are selected.
Distributed scaling allows a high-resolution computer source to be viewed on any
display in the building, and allows a high-definition 3D source to be viewed on lower
resolution 2D displays wi thout compromising the original signa l , such as letting a
home theater’s Full HD 1080p 3D image be shared with smaller, lesser displays in
other rooms.

DM-RMC-4K-SCALER-C, and DM-RMC-4K-SCALER-C-DSP. For the HDMI output, use the HDSCALER-HD-E or HD-SCALER-VGA-E.

DigitalMedia Distribution Center Crestron DM-MD6X4/DM-MD6X6
Multi-Channel HD Audio Routing
The DM-MD6X4 and DM-MD6X6 allow for the routing of signals containing
multichannel surround sound audio, supporting high-bitrate formats such as
®
TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio™ technology, as well as uncompressed
Dolby
linear PCM (pulse-code modulation).
Built-In Ethernet Switch
In addition to transporting digital video and audio, DigitalMedia can also extend
high-speed Ethernet to display devices that require a LAN connection. Ethernet is
also utilized internally by the Crestron control bus to manage all of the DM devices
in the system and provide display control in each room. Through the 10/100 Ethernet
port, the DM-MD6X4/DM-MD6X6 provides a single-point connection to a home
network or corporate LAN, requiring only one IP address for the complete DM
system, including all connected DM receivers.
USB Signal Routing
With built-in USB HID (Human Interface Device) signal routing, the
DM-MD6X4 and DM-MD6X6 can control a centralized computer or media server
using a mouse or keyboard in another room. The mouse and keyboard can be
connected to any DM 8G+ receiver (sold separately) that includes a USB HID port,
while the host computer is connected to the USB HID port on the rear panel of the
DM-MD6X4 or DM-MD6X6. Crestron also offers USB over Ethernet extenders
(USB-EXT-DM, sold separately), which may be used to enable the routing of
multiple USB devices of virtually any type that are managed seamlessly through the
DigitalMedia system.
*
CEC Embedded Device Control
The primary objective of every Crestron system is to enable precisely the control
desired for a seamless user experience. DigitalMedia provides an alternative to
conventional IR and RS-232 device control by harnessing the CEC (Consumer
Electronics Control) signal embedded in HDMI. Through a connection to a Crestron
control system, the DM-MD6X4 and DM-MD6X6 provides a gateway for
controlling many devices directly through their HDMI conn e c tions, which may
eliminate the need for any dedicated control wires or IR emitters.
Easy Setup
Setup for the DM-MD6X4 and DM-MD6X6 is designed to be quick and easy using
the device's front panel or Crestron Toolbox™ software, configuring inputs and
outputs automatically while letting the installer make intelligent design decisions
along the way. Out of the box, the DM-MD6X4 and DM-MD6X6 front pa ne l
supports basic signal routing for testing and troubleshooting during installation. The
front panel label strips can be customized using Crestron Engraver software or
standard 3/8" tape labels, allowing for the clear designation of each input and output.
Inputs and outputs may also be designated by name through the software to appear
on the LCD display.
* USB-EXT DM USB over Ethernet extender modules are sold separately. Refer to the
USB-EXT-DM spec sheet on the product webpage for more information.

Setup
Network Wiring
When wiring the DM network, consider the following:
• Use Crestron Certified Wire.
• Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
CAUTION: Failure to use Crestron power supplies could cause equipment
damage or void the Crestron warranty.
• Provide sufficient power to the system.
• For DM 8G+ or HDBaseT wiring up to 330 feet (100 meters) between
devices, use Crestron DM-CBL-8G DigitalMedia 8G cable or generic
CAT5e (or better) UT P or ST P. Shielded cable and connector s are
recommended to safeguard against unpredictable environmental electrical
noise that may impact performance at resolutions above 1080p. For
complete system design guidelines, refer to the Crestron DigitalMedia
Design Guide (Doc. 4546). All wire and cables are sold separately.
IP Configuration
The DM-MD6X4 and DM-MD6X6 also use high-speed Ethernet for
communications between the device and a control system, computer, media server
and other IP-based devices. For information related to Ethernet connectivity using
DigitalMedia devices, refer to the IP Considerations Guidelines for the IT
Professional Design Guide (Doc. 4579) at www.crestron.com/manuals.
Ethernet Setup
The DM-MD6X4 and DM-MD6X6 are designed to control the Ethernet settings of
DM endpoints in order to reduce the amount of IP configuration necessary and make
the DM endpoints swappable without reconfiguratio n. For the DM-MD6X4 and
DM-MD6X6, DM endpoints consist of DM 8G+ receivers/room controllers such as
the DM-RMC-SCALER-C, DM-RMC-200-C, DM-RMC-4K-SCALER-C, and
DM-RMC-4K-SCALER-C-DSP.
The DM-MD6X4 and DM-MD6X6 can operate in DHCP or Static IP Address mode.
The DM-MD6X4 and DM-MD6X6 also control th e IP addre s sing information of
DM 8G+ receivers/room controllers. When the DM -MD6X4 and DM-MD6X6
operate in DHCP mode, the DM 8G+ receivers/room controllers also operate in
DHCP mode. When the DM-MD6X4 and DM-MD6X6 operate in Static IP Address
mode, the DM 8G+ receivers/room controllers receive a static IP configuration
equivalent to the DM-MD6X4 or DM-MD6X6 IP address plus their slot number.
This configuration is sent when the DM-MD6X4 or DM-MD6X6 starts up. Refer to
the following table for information about static IP address configuration of DM 8G+

Uploading and Upgrading
Crestron recommends using the latest programming software and recommends that
each device contains the latest firmware to take advantage of the most recently
released features. However, before attempting to upload or upgrade, it is necessary to
establish communic a t i on. O nc e communication has been established, files (for
example, firmware) can be transferred to the control system (and/or device). Finally,
program checks can be performed (such as changing the device ID or creating an IP
table) to ensure proper functioning.
Establishing Communication
Use Crestron Toolbox for communicating with the DM-MD6X4 and DM-MD6X6;
refer to the embedded Crestron Toolbox help file for details. There are two methods
of communication: USB and TCP/IP.
USB
NOTE: The USB port can be used for ini tial setup of Ethernet parameters.
(The front panel also allows setup of Ethernet parameters as discussed in the
Network” section on page 25.
“
USB Communication
The COMPUTER port on the DM-MD6X4 and DM-MD6X6 connects to the USB
port on the PC via the included Type A to Type B USB cable:
1. Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry using the
expected communication protocol (USB). When multiple USB devices are
connected, identify the DM device by entering “DM-MD6X4” or
“DM-MD6X6” in the Model textbox, the unit’s serial number in the Serial
textbox, or the unit’s hostname in the Hostname textbox. The hostname can
be found in the System Info window in the section marked Ethernet;
however, communications must be established in order to see this
information in the System Info window.
2. Display the DM-MD6X4 or DM-MD6X6 System Inf o window (click the
icon); communications are confirmed when the device information is
