Introduction 

The DM-RMC-100-C provides a simple one-box interface solution for a single 
display device as part of a complete Crestron

®

 DigitalMedia™ system. It functions 

as a DM 8G+™ receiver and control interface, providing a single HDMI

®

 output 

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

®

 cable.

Features and Functions 

(Continued on following page) 

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

. DM 8G+ is also compatible with HDBaseT 

Alliance specifications for connecting to HDBaseT compliant equipment. All wire and cables sold 
separately.

HDMI requires an appropriate adapter or interface cable to accommodate a DVI signal. CBL-HD-DVI 
interface cable sold separately.
