Crestron DMPS-100/200/300-C/300-C-AEC DigitalMedia Presentation System
HD System Switcher
The DMPS-100/200/300-C provides high-performance routing of numerous digital
and analog sources to up to four separate projectors, flat panel displays, codecs,
touch screens, and other devices. Connectivity is provided for multiple HDMI
1
sources
, or other combinations of HDMI, RGB, S/PDIF, analog audio, and analog
video sources (plus additional remote sources via DM 8G+™). Input auto-detection
and auto-switching eliminates the need to configure the inputs – simply connect the
source and the DMPS-100/200/300-C selects the right audio and video combination.
Depending on the DMPS device being used, built-in matrix switching allows routing
of up to seven simultaneous sources to up to four HDMI or DVI display devices,
plus up to three additional analog audio components.
Flexible Audio Routing
The HDMI, S/PDIF, and analog audio inputs may be configured to follow their
associated video inputs, or switched independently. In fact, the audio from any
HDMI source can be extracted from the digital stream and converted to analog to
feed an outboard processor, mixer, or codec, with the return signal feeding back
through any analog input, which can be embedded with any video source to form a
new HDMI output. Routing of multichannel PCM, Dolby
is supported through the HDMI and DM 8G+ outputs. All analog audio, HDMI,
®
, and S/PDIF inputs include adjustable input compensation to accommodate a
DM
wide range of signals and maintain consistent volume levels when switching between
sources.

DigitalMedia 8G+
Integrated DigitalMedia DM 8G+™ inputs and outputs afford the ultimate in
simplicity, providing a true one-wire interface for remote sources and display
devices. Easily add up to two DM 8G+ transmitters to provide connectivity for HD
AV sources and computers at a table or lectern. Connect two DM 8G+ receivers
(with the DMPS-300-C) to provide independent signal routing and control for two
separate projectors or flat panel displays. Supporting wire lengths up to 330 feet (100
meters), DM 8G+ can also provide an ideal interface to a central DigitalMedia
switcher as part of a larger multi-room or room-combining system.
DM 8G+ requires just one CAT5e wire run to each location, transporting
high-definition video, audio, and Ethernet for each device without compromise.
Power over DM (PoDM) is supplied over the same CAT5e connection, providing a
centralized power source for all compatible transmitters and receivers.

HDBaseT
Crestron DigitalMedia 8G+ technology is designed using HDBaseT Alliance
specifications, ensuring interoperability with third-party HDBaseT products. Via DM
8G+, the DMPS-100/200/300-C can be connected directly to any HDBaseT
compliant source or display device without requiring a DM transmitter or receiver.
1. HDMI requires an appropriate adapter or interface cable to accommodate a DVI or DisplayPort
Multimode signal. CBL-HD-DVI interface cables available separately.
2. For DM 8G+ wiring up to 330 ft (100 m) between devices, use Crestron DM-CBL-8G DigitalMedia
8G cable, Crestron DM-CBL DigitalMedia cable, Crestron DM-CBL-D DigitalMedia D cable, or
generic CAT5e (or better) UTP or STP. Shielded cable and connectors are recommended to safeguard
against unpredictable environmental electrical noise which may impact performance at resolutions
above 1080p. Refer to the Crestron DigitalMedia Design Guide (Doc. 4546) for complete system
design guidelines. All cable sold separately.

DigitalMedia Presentation Systems Crestron DMPS-100/200/300-C/300-C-AEC
The DMPS-100/200/300-C supports 5Play™, the feature set of HDBaseT that
converges uncompressed full HD digital video, audio, Ethernet*, power and control
signals through a single CAT5e or CAT6 cable over distances up to 328 ft (100m).
Multi-Channel Microphone Mixer
For a complete presentation or conferencing solution, the DMPS-100/200/300-C
includes built-in mixing and processing for multiple microphones (two for
DMPS-100-C, four for DMPS-200-C, six for DMPS-300-C/300-C-AEC). Each mic
input provides selectable mic or line level with 40 dB gain adjustment, switchable
48V phantom power, fully-adjustable gating, compression, limiting, and 4-band EQ.
Sophisticated matrix mixing allows for a completely different stereo mix of all
microphones at each of the DMPS-100/200/300-C system’s outputs.
Acoustic Echo Cancellation (DMPS-300-C-AEC Only)
High-performance adaptive AEC on each mic input enables the DMPS-300-C-AEC
to be connected directly to audio and video codecs to form a complete
teleconferencing system solution. Low-latency, full-bandwidth performance affords
highly-effective echo cancellation with natural sound quality. AEC is employed
independently per microphone, with a fast convergence rate of 80 dB per second and
tail lengths up to 200 ms, allowing the DMPS-300-C-AEC to handle any typical
small to medium sized room with ease.
Expanded signal routing and audio processing in the DMPS-300-C-AEC allows one
or two codecs to be connected to any of the seven source inputs, and either (or both)
of the aux outputs. Dual codec support allows both codecs to be used simultaneously,
even allowing the signal from one codec to be fed to the other for a fully inclusive
teleconferencing experience. Plus, any local presentation source can be mixed with
the microphones and routed to the codecs, allowing far end participants to experience
the full presentation without any distracting echo.
Professional Audio DSP
Each analog audio output on the DMPS-100/200/300-C includes its own digital
signal processor, allowing each output to be optimized to feed a power amplifier,
codec, recorder, or assistive listening system. In addition to real-time adjustable
volume, bass, treble, and mute controls, each DSP provides 10-band graphic
equalization, 2-band parametric equalization, and 85 ms speaker delay adjustment.
Hardware relay muting on each output helps prevent "thumping" on power up.
An additional dedicated DSP is included to process the AEC reference signal inside
the DMPS-300-C-AEC, allowing its EQ and volume level to be set to track that of
the main program output feeding the room speakers. In some situations, this can
reduce the demand on the AEC’s adaptive filter for even more transparent
performance.
Built-in Amplifier
Its built-in 40 watt amplifier allows the DMPS-100/200/300-C to directly drive a pair
of stereo speakers, or a string of 70 or 100 volt ceiling speakers. Fed by the main
"Program" output, the internal amplifier benefits fully from the onboard DSP. For
larger applications, Crestron AMP-Series power amplifiers may be added, providing
a complete solution for driving separate program and speech speakers, or any
multi-zone loudspeaker system.

Crestron DMPS-100/200/300-C/300-C-AEC DigitalMedia Presentation System
EDID Format Management
The DMPS-100/200/300-C allows for management of the EDID (Extended Display
Identification Data) information that passes between the display devices and input
sources in the system. Using Crestron Toolbox™ software, the format and resolution
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
Through a distributed scaler approach, the DMPS-100/200/300-C affords a very
flexible and user-friendly solution for handling multiple disparate display devices
and video codecs. Employing discrete outboard scalers like the HD-SCALER
DM-RMC-SCALER-C (both sold separately), the DMPS-100/200/300-C allows an
independent high-performance scaler to be installed at every display device, and in
front of each codec, ensuring an optimal image on every screen no matter what
sources are selected.
QuickSwitch HD Technology
Handling high definition digital media means handling HDCP (High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection), the encryption scheme used by content providers to
protect their DVDs and Blu-ray Disc™ releases and broadcast signals against
unauthorized copying. Viewing HDCP encrypted content requires a source device to
"authenticate" each display and signal processor in the system and issue it a "key"
before delivering an output signal.
and
Using a conventional HDMI or DVI switcher, it is common to experience a complete
loss of signal for up to 15 seconds during the authentication process each time a new
source or display is selected anywhere in the system. Also, every source device has a
limited number of keys available, so connect too many displays and the source
simply stops outputting a signal without warning.

Auto-Locking Technology
Crestron Auto-Locking™ Technology enables super fast signal switching by
instantaneously configuring every device in the signal path, including DM
transmitters, DM receivers, and scalers, as soon as the signal hits 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 configure itself to
handle the changes, virtually eliminating any noticeable gap while switching.
Built-in Ethernet Switch
In addition to transporting digital video and audio, the DigitalMedia 8G+ ports on
the DMPS-100/200/300-C can also extend Ethernet out to each display and source
device, providing high-speed connectivity for each room device that requires a LAN
connection. Ethernet is also utilized internally by the Crestron control bus to manage
each transmitter and receiver and provide device control.
Private Network Mode
To streamline its implementation on a corporate or university LAN, the
DMPS-100/200/300-C employs Private Network mode to provide a single-point
connection for the complete system. Using Private Network mode, the
DigitalMedia Presentation Systems Crestron DMPS-100/200/300-C/300-C-AEC
DMPS-100/200/300-C requires just one IP address for the complete DM network,
plus one additional IP address for the built-in control processor.
Integrated Control System
Its built-in 2-Series control system enables the DMPS-100/200/300-C to provide
complete, customizable control of every AV device, as well as room lighting,
window shades, and projection screens, without requiring a separate control
processor. The DMPS-100/200/300-C supports the full line of Crestron touch
screens, keypads, and wireless remotes for a user experience custom tailored to the
specific requirements of each end-user. Support for Crestron e-Control

CEC Embedded Device Control
The primary objective of every Crestron system is to enable precisely the control
desired for a seamless user experience. In addition to conventional IR, RS-232, and
Ethernet device control, the DMPS-100/200/300-C can provide an additional
alternative by harnessing the CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) signal embedded
in HDMI. The DMPS-100/200/300-C provides a gateway for controlling many
devices right through their HDMI connections, potentially eliminating the need for
any dedicated control wires or IR probes. Through proper CEC signal management,
the DMPS-100/200/300-C permits control of each device as desired.
