sold separately.
A single HDMI digital AV output port is provided on the DM receiver, supporting
HD 1080p60 video and WUXGA computer signals with HDCP, Deep Color, 3D
and multichannel HD lossless audio—all through one connection. The HDMI output
can also handle DVI signals using an appropriate adapter or interface cable.

Stereo audio outputs are also provided for directly driving a pair of speakers or for
connecting to line inputs on the display or a separate amplifier or AV receiver.
A single fiber strand connects the DM receiver to a DM switcher or transmitter (each
sold separately), transporting video, audio, control, and networking signals through
one SC type (DM-RMC-200-S)/LC type (DM-RMC-200-S2) optical connection.

Multiple DM receivers may be installed to handle each display in a multiroom
distribution system, all fed from a central DM switcher (sold separately). Or, a single
DM receiver can be fed straight from a DM fiber transmitter (DM 8G transmitter
sold separately for the DM-RMC-200-S or DM 8G SM transmitter sold separately
for the DM-RMC-200-S2) to extend a computer or AV signal to a single display.
High-Definition Scaler
Through a distributed scaler approach, DigitalMedia technology delivers a flexible
and user-friendly solution for routing multiple disparate sources to many different
display devices. By placing an independent high-performance scaler at every display
device, DM ensures an optimal image on every screen regardless of the sources that
are selected. Distributed scaling allows a high-resolution computer source to be
viewed on any display in the building. It also allows a high-definition 3D source to
be viewed on lower resolution 2D displays without compromising the original signal.
The DM receiver accepts any video source from standard NTSC 480i to HD
1080p60 with Deep Color, as well as computer sources from VGA to
UXGA/WUXGA, and scales them perfectly to match the native resolution of the
video display. A range of common output resolutions is supported to work with
virtually any popular flat panel display, projector, or computer monitor. Intelligent
frame rate conversion enables support for 24p and PAL format sources, and 3D to
2D conversion allows 3D content to be fed simultaneously to separate 3D and 2D
displays. Setup and use of the scaler is simplified through fully automatic operation
utilizing the display’s EDID.
1, 4
A pair of DM receivers can also be used to facilitate a dual-projector 3D setup,
steering the left eye portion of a 3D signal to one projector and the right eye portion
to the other. This is done using the scaler’s 3D to 2D conversion mode, enabling 3D
capability with scaling.
1. Automatically passes 3D video if display device supports it (reverts to pass-through mode

2. HDMI requires an appropriate adapter or interface cable to accommodate a DVI signal.
CBL-HD-DVI interface cable sold separately.
3. For DM 8G wiring, the maximum DigitalMedia 8G fiber cable length is 1000 feet (~300 meters)
using CRESFIBER8G fiber optic cable, or 500 feet (~150 meters) using standard CRESFIBER,
CRESFIBER-SINGLE-SC, or generic OM3 simplex multimode fiber optic cable. For DM 8G SMF
wiring up to 7.5 miles (12 km) between devices, use Crestron CRESFIBER8G-SM or generic
G.652.D (or better) single-mode fiber optic cable. Refer to the latest version of the Crestron
DigitalMedia Design Guide (Doc. 4546) for complete system design guidelines. All wire and cables
sold separately.
4. EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is data embedded in an HDMI, DVI, or VGA signal that
enables a display device to tell the source device what resolutions and formats it can support, allowing
the source to configure itself automatically to feed the best signal that both devices can support.
The DM receiver provides zoom capability on its output to display just a portion of
the source image. Using this feature, multiple units may be combined to configure a
high-definition video wall composed of up to 16 individual displays. Configurations
of 2 x 2, 3 x 2, 3 x 3, 4 x 3, or 4 x 4 are supported, and all that is required is a
separate DM receiver for each display and a DM switcher (sold separately) with
sufficient DM 8G/DM 8G SM fiber outputs.
Audio Amplifier
The DM receiver is equipped with stereo analog audio outputs and a built-in 30 watt
stereo amplifier. The output volume is adjustable via a control system using a
keypad, touch screen, or handheld remote. The amplifier provides plenty of power to
drive a pair of local speakers, or the line output can be used to connect directly to the
display device, a pair of amplified speakers, or a local sound system.
LAN Connectivity
Along with high-definition AV and control, DigitalMedia technology also integrates
high-speed Ethernet networking for a total signal distribution solution. The DM
receiver includes a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet port, providing a convenient
LAN connection for a local network device.
Keyboard/Mouse Extender
The DM receiver also functions as a keyboard/mouse extender, allowing a USB
HID-compliant keyboard and/or mouse to be connected at the display location and
used to control a computer or other component located at the central equipment rack
or some other location.
Embedded Device Control
The DM receiver 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 harnessing the CEC (Consumer
Electronics Control) signal embedded in HDMI. Through its connection to the
control system, the DM receiver provides a gateway for controlling the display
device through the HDMI connection, potentially eliminating the need for any
dedicated control wires or IR emitters.
Two low-voltage relay ports are also included on the DM receiver for control of a
projection screen or lift. In addition, there are two discrete digital input ports to
accommodate room occupancy sensors, power sensors, or contact closures for
enhanced automation and monitoring.
Low-Profile Installation
Its low-profile design makes the DM receiver perfect for installation behind a flat
panel display or above a ceiling mounted projector. It mounts to a standard 2-gang
US, UK, or European electrical box using the mounting bracket provided. The
bracket includes a convenient holder for the external power pack, providing for a
clean installation that protrudes only 1.6 inches (~41 mm) from the mounting
surface.
Connections are positioned on the top, bottom, and rear of the unit. The design of the
mounting bracket allows wires up to 0.23 inches (~6 mm) in diameter to extend from
the electrical box as needed. An array of indicators is provided on the front of the
DM receiver for easy setup and troubleshooting.
The diagram below shows a DM-RMC-200-S in a standalone application. In this
type of application, the DM-RMC-200-S is used with a DM 8G fiber transmitter
such as the DM-TX-201-S (sold separately) and is not used with a DM switcher.
DM-RMC-200-S in a Standalone Application
In a DM-RMC-200-S2 standalone application, the DM-RMC-200-S2 is used with a
DM 8G SM fiber transmitter such as the DM-TX-201-S2 (sold separately) and is not
used with a DM switcher.
