Crestron QM-IEM Image Enhancer Module

Image Enhancer Module: QM-IEM

Introduction

Features and Functions

The QM-IEM is a module added to the output of the QM-RMCRX to
improve performance when connected to digital light processing (DLP™)
micro-electromechanical display. DLP technology uses fast switching
optical semiconductors to digitally manipulate light. Some of these DLP
devices are extremely sensitive to noise. The QM-IEM acts as an anti­alias device, limiting the out-of-band noise by using a sharp bandwidth
cutoff.

Functional Summary

• Connects directly to either the RGBHV output port of the QM­RMCRX or to the input side of the DLP display device

• Eliminates noise

• Easy one-piece mounting (additional hardware not required)

The QM-IEM has been successfully tested with the following DLP
devices.
