As the leader in HDMI and control system technologies, Crestron developed
DigitalMedia (DM®) to deliver the first complete HD AV distribution system
to take HDMI to a higher level. DigitalMedia allows virtually any mix of
HDMI and other AV sources to be distributed throughout a home, office,
school, or virtually any other facility. The latest generation of DM is called
DigitalMedia 8G (DM 8G). Engineered for ultra high-bandwidth and ultimate
scalability, DM 8G provides a true one-wire lossless transport for moving
high-definition video, audio, Ethernet, and control signals over a choice of
twisted pair or fiber optic cable.
DM 8G Fiber uses multimode fiber to enable signal distribution between
buildings and over lengthy wire runs. DM 8G Fiber handles uncompressed
Full HD 1080p video signals with support for 3D, Deep Color, and HDCP, as
[5]
well as computer signals up to WUXGA. Audio capabilities include support
for high-bitrate 7.1 audio formats like Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD Master
Audio™ as well as uncompressed linear PCM. All signals are transported
over one strand of multimode fiber, supporting distances up to 1000 feet
(300 m) using CresFiber® 8G, or 500 feet (150 m) using other multimode
fiber optic cable.

The DM-RMC-SCALER-S provides an advanced one-box interface
solution for a single display device as part of a complete Crestron®
DigitalMedia™ system. It functions as a DM 8G® Fiber receiver, video
scaler, and control interface, providing a single HDMI® output along with
Ethernet, USB HID, RS-232, and IR control ports. Built-in scaling enables
the connected display to handle any video resolution up to HD 1080p or
WUXGA. Its compact, low-profile design allows the DM-RMC-SCALER-S
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 multimode fiber strand.

Multimedia Display Interface
A single HDMI digital AV output port is provided on the DM-RMC-SCALER-S
for connection to a display or other device. The HDMI output can also
handle DVI signals using an appropriate adapter or interface cable
[2]
.
A single fiber strand connects the DM-RMC-SCALER-S to a DM
switcher or transmitter, transporting video, audio, control, and networking
signals all through one simple SC type optical connection.
[1]
Multiple
DM-RMC-SCALER-Ss may be installed to handle each display in a
multiroom distribution system, all fed from a central DM-MD series
switcher. Or, a single DM-RMC-SCALER-S can be fed straight from a DM
8G Fiber transmitter, affording a simple solution for extending a computer
or AV signal to a single display.

High-Definition Scaler
Through a distributed scaler approach, DigitalMedia delivers an incredibly
flexible and user-friendly solution for routing multiple disparate sources
to many different display devices. By placing an independent highperformance scaler at every display device, DM ensures an optimal image
on every screen no matter what sources are selected. Distributed
scaling allows a high-res 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,
letting you share your theater’s full HD 1080p 3D image with smaller,
lesser displays in other rooms.
The DM-RMC-SCALER-S accepts any video source from standard
NTSC 480i to Full HD 1080p60, as well as computer sources from VGA to
UXGA/WUXGA, and scales them perfectly to match the native resolution of
your video display. A range of common output resolutions are 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.
[3]
Setup and use of the
scaler is simplified through fully automatic operation utilizing the
display’s EDID
[4]
.
Dual-Projector 3D Support
A pair of DM-RMC-SCALER-Ss can be used to facilitate a dual-projector 3D
setup, steering just 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.
[3]
Video Wall Processing
The DM-RMC-SCALER-S has another trick up its sleeve, providing zoom
capability and bezel compensation on its output to display just a portion
of the source image. Using this feature, multiple units may be combined
to configure a video wall composed of up to 16 individual displays.
Configurations of 2x2, 3x2, 3x3, 4x3, or 4x4 are supported, and all that
is required is a separate DM-RMC-SCALER-S for each display, and a DM
switcher with sufficient DM 8G Fiber outputs.
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-SCALER-S includes a 10/100 Ethernet port, providing a
convenient LAN connection for a local network device.
USB Signal Extension
DigitalMedia allows for the routing of USB signals alongside video and
audio. A USB HID compliant mouse or keyboard can be connected directly
to the DM-RMC-SCALER-S and used to control a computer or media server
that’s located at the central equipment cabinet or some other location.
Crestron also offers USB over Ethernet Extender Modules (USB-EXT-DM)
[5]
which may be added to enable support for more USB devices of virtually
any type.
Embedded Device Control
The primary objective of every Crestron system is to enable precisely the
control desired for a seamless user experience. The DM-RMC-SCALER-S
includes built-in RS-232, IR, and Ethernet control ports to allow
programmable control of the display device connected to it. But, it can also
