required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way,
such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been
spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus
has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate
normally, or has been dropped.
• Disconnect power prior to connecting or disconnecting
equipment.
• Do not install in direct sunlight.
• The apparatus must be installed in a way that the power cord
can be removed either from the wall outlet or from the device
itself in order to disconnect the mains power.

DM-RMC-100-C
Introduction
The DM-RMC-100-C provides a simple one-box interface solution for a single
display device as part of a complete Crestron
as a DM 8G+™ receiver and control interface, providing a single HDMI
along with Ethernet, RS-232, and IR control ports. In addition to DM 8G+, it is also
compatible with HDBaseT™ specifications, allowing it to be connected directly to
any HDBaseT compliant source. Its compact low-profile design allows the
DM-RMC-100-C to be installed discreetly behind a flat panel display or above a
ceiling mounted projector. It connects to the head end or source location using a
single CAT5e or Crestron DM 8G

1. For DM 8G+ wiring, 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. Maximum wire length for DM 8G+ is 330 feet (100 meters) between devices. Shielded cable
and connectors are recommended to safeguard against unpredictable environmental electrical noise
which may impact performance at resolutions above 1080p. Refer to the latest version of the Crestron
DigitalMedia Design Guide (Doc. 4546) for complete system design guidelines. It is available from
the Crestron Web site at www.crestron.com/dmresources
Alliance specifications for connecting to HDBaseT compliant equipment. All wire and cables sold
separately.
2. HDMI requires an appropriate adapter or interface cable to accommodate a DVI signal. CBL-HD-DVI

DigitalMedia 8G+
DigitalMedia 8G+ provides a true one-wire transport for moving high-definition
video, audio, and Ethernet over low-cost twisted pair cable without compression or
repeaters. Engineered for ultra high bandwidth and ultimate scalability, DM 8G+
handles uncompressed video beyond high definition with support for HDCP, Deep
Color, and 3D. Audio capabilities include support for high bitrate 7.1 audio formats
such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio as well as uncompressed linear
PCM. All signals are transported over one 8-conductor twisted pair cable (sold
separately), supporting distances up to 330 feet (100 meters) using Crestron DM 8G
cable or CAT5e.

HDBaseT
1
DigitalMedia 8G+ technology is designed using HDBaseT Alliance specifications,
ensuring interoperability with third-party HDBaseT products. Via its DM 8G+ input,
the DM-RMC-100-C can be connected directly to any HDBaseT compliant source
without requiring a DM transmitter. HDBaseT connectivity through the
DM-RMC-100-C converges uncompresse d f ull HD di gi ta l vi de o, a u di o, E t her net,
power and control signals through a single CAT5e or CAT6 cable over distances up
to 328 feet (100 meters).
Multimedia Display Interface
A single HDMI digital AV output port is provided on the DM-RMC-100-C,
supporting HD 1080p video and WUXGA computer signals with HDCP, Deep
Color, 3D, and multi-channel HD lossless audio—all through one connection.
The HDMI output can also handle DVI signals using an appropriate adapter or
interface cable.
A single cable connects the DM-RMC-100-C to a DM switcher or transmitter or to
an HDBaseT source (each sold separately), transporting video, audio, control,
networking, and power signals through one RJ-45 connection.
DM-RMC-100-Cs may be installed to handle each display in a multi-room
distribution system, all fed from a central DM switcher. Or, a single
DM-RMC-100-C can be fed straight from a DM 8G+ transmitter, affording a very
simple solution for extending a computer or AV signal to a single display.
1. Receiving Power over DM (PoDM) or Power over HDBaseT (PoH) requires connection to a switcher
or other equipment that has a PoDM or PoH PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) port.
2. For DM 8G+ wiring, 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. Maximum wire length for DM 8G+ is 330 feet (100 meters) between devices. Shielded cable
and connectors are recommended to safeguard against unpredictable environmental electrical noise
which may impact performance at resolutions above 1080p. Refer to the latest version of the Crestron
DigitalMedia Design Guide (Doc. 4546) for complete system design guidelines. DM 8G+ is also
compatible with HDBaseT Alliance specifications for connecting to HDBaseT compliant equipment.
All wire and cables sold separately.

LAN Connectivity
Along with high-definition AV and control, DigitalMedia also integrates high-speed
Ethernet networking for a total signal distribution solution. The DM-RMC-100-C
includes a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet port, providing a convenient LAN
connection for a local network device.
Embedded Device Control
The DM-RMC-100-C includes built-in RS-232, IR, and Ethernet control ports to
allow programmable control of the display device connected to it. It can also provide
an alternative to such conventional control methods by harnessin g the CEC
(Consumer Electronics Control) signal embedded in HDMI. Through its connection
to the control system, the DM-RMC-100-C provides a gateway for controlling the
display device through the HDMI connection, potentially eliminating the need for
any dedicated control wires or IR emitters.
Low-Profile Installation
The DM-RMC-100-C mounts conveniently on a wall, ceiling, or other flat surface.
At just one inch deep, it fits easily behind a flat panel display or above a ceiling
mounted projector. All connections and LED indicators are positioned on the sides,
ensuring optimal access and visibility for a clean, serviceable installation. An array
of indicators is provided for easy setup and troubleshooting.
