DigitalMedia™ Presentation System 200
DMPS3-200-C – Rear View
HD System Switcher
The DMPS3-200-C provides high-performance routing of numerous digital
and analog sources to two separate projectors, flat panel displays, codecs,
or other devices. Connectivity is provided for up to five HDMI® sources
or other combinations of HDMI, RGB, SPDIF, analog audio, and analog video
sources. Additional remote sources can be connected via a single DM 8G+®
input. Input auto-detection and auto-switching eliminates the need to
configure the inputs – simply connect your source and the DMPS3-200-C
selects the right audio and video combination. Built-in matrix switching
allows routing of six different sources to two digital AV devices and three
additional analog audio components.
Flexible Audio Routing
The HDMI, SPDIF, 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.
Dolby® TrueHD, Dolby Atmos®, DTS-HD®, and 7.1 linear PCM audio signals
can be routed through the HDMI and DM 8G+ inputs and outputs. The
HDMI, SPDIF, and analog audio inputs include adjustable input compensation
to accommodate a wide range of signals and maintain consistent volume
levels when switching between sources.
DigitalMedia 8G+
Its DM 8G+ input and output endow the DMPS3-200-C with incredible
potential for connecting remote sources and display devices, and integrating
with larger systems. DM 8G+ provides a true one-wire interface for
transporting high-definition video, audio, control, power, and networking
signals over CAT type cable at distances up to 330 feet (100 meters).
Connecting a DM 8G+ receiver to the DM 8G+ output provides a
streamlined AV and control interface for a projector or flat panel display
located anywhere in the room. Connecting a DM 8G+ transmitter provides
expanded input connectivity to incorporate remote AV sources and mobile
devices at a conference table, lectern, credenza, wall plate, or some other
location. DM 8G+ can also provide the interface to a centralized
DigitalMedia™ matrix switcher to enable the distribution of signals between
multiple rooms and buildings.

HDBaseT® Certified
Crestron DM 8G+ technology is designed using HDBaseT Alliance
specifications, ensuring interoperability with other HDBaseT certified
products. Via DM 8G+, the DMPS3-200-C can be connected directly to
an HDBaseT compliant source or display device without requiring a DM®
transmitter or receiver.
4-Channel Microphone Mixer
The DMPS3-200-C includes built-in mixing and processing for four
microphones. Each mic input provides 60 dB of gain adjustment,
switchable 48V phantom power, fully-adjustable gating, compression,
delay, and 4-band semi-parametric EQ. Sophisticated matrix mixing allows
for a completely different stereo mix of all four microphones at each of the
DMPS3-200-C’s five outputs.
Codec Mixing
For video conferencing applications, the DMPS3-200-C allows one or two
codecs to be connected to any of the six source inputs. Audio from both
codecs can be mixed with the local presentation source and routed to the
room speakers via the main “Program” output. The presentation source
audio can also be routed to the codecs via the “Aux” outputs, allowing far
end participants to experience the full presentation. Both codecs can even
be used simultaneously, allowing the signal from one codec to be fed to
the other for a fully inclusive teleconferencing experience.
Professional Audio DSP
Each analog audio output on the DMPS3-200-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, 4-band parametric equalization,
fully-adjustable limiting, and up to 85 ms of speaker delay adjustment.
Built-in Power Amplifier
Its built-in power amplifier allows the DMPS3-200-C to directly drive a pair
of stereo speakers (20 Watts per channel @ 8Ω), or a group of distributed
ceiling speakers (40 Watts mono @ 70 or 100 Volts). Fed by the main
“Program” output, the internal amplifier benefits fully from the onboard
DSP. For larger applications, Crestron AMP-Series power amplifiers may

DigitalMedia™ Presentation System 200
be added, providing a complete solution for driving separate program and
speech speakers, or any multi-zone speaker system.
EDID Format Management
The DMPS3-200-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 DMPS3-200-C affords a very
flexible and user-friendly solution for handling multiple disparate display
devices. Employing discrete outboard scalers like the HD-SCALER-HD-E,
DM-RMC-SCALER-C, and DM-RMC-4K-SCALER-C, the DMPS3-200-C
allows an independent high-performance scaler to be installed at each
display device, ensuring an optimal image on every screen no matter what
sources are selected.

QuickSwitch HD™ Technology
Handling digital media signals means handling HDCP (High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection), the encryption scheme used by content
providers to protect their DVDs, Blu-ray™ discs, 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. Crestron
QuickSwitch HD manages these keys to ensure fast, reliable switching and
immunity to “blackouts” for every source and display device connected to
the system.
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.
USB Signal Routing
Along with video and audio, the DMPS3-200-C can also provide for the
routing of USB HID (Human Interface Device) signals, allowing a USB HID
compliant keyboard and/or mouse at one location to control a computer or
media server at another location. USB HID connectivity is provided through
select DM receivers and transmitters. Crestron also offers USB over
Ethernet Extenders (USB-EXT-DM
[7]
), which may be used to enable the
routing of multiple USB devices of virtually any type, all seamlessly
managed through the DMPS3-200-C.
Integrated 3-Series Control System
[8]
®
Its built-in 3-Series control system enables the DMPS3-200-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. Onboard control ports include four IR ports,
two RS-232 COM ports, four relay ports, and four digital input ports, as
well as Cresnet® and Ethernet. The DMPS3-200-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 control apps and Crestron Fusion® Cloud delivers the
industry’s most powerful platform for remotely controlling and managing
multiple rooms using computers and mobile devices.
CEC Embedded Device Control
For controlling third-party AV devices, the DMPS3-200-C provides an
alternative to conventional IR, RS-232, and Ethernet by harnessing the
CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) signal embedded in HDMI. Using CEC,
many devices can be controlled right through their HDMI connections,
eliminating the need for any dedicated serial cables or IR emitters.
Built-in Ethernet Switch
In addition to transporting digital video and audio, the DM 8G+ ports on
the DMPS3-200-C can also extend Ethernet out to the display and source
devices, 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
DMPS3-200-C employs Private Network Mode to provide a single-point
connection for the complete system. Using Private Network Mode, the
DMPS3-200-C requires just one IP address for the complete DM network
including all connected DM receivers and transmitters.
Easy Setup
Every step of the DMPS3-200-C setup process is designed to be quick
and easy, configuring inputs and outputs automatically while letting the
installer make intelligent design decisions along the way. Out of the box,
the front panel supports basic signal routing for easy testing and troubleshooting during installation. Simplified system configuration is enabled
using .AV Framework, which is easily configurable via a computer web
browser.
[1]
Advanced configuration and adjustment is enabled through
the front panel, a web browser, or Crestron Toolbox software. 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 to appear
on the LCD display when selected.
