DM-TX-300N/-F
DigitalMedia™ CAT & Fiber Transmitters 300N
Multimedia Computer /AV Interface
The DM-TX-300N/-F provides versatile switching between three different video and
audio sources. Inputs on the DM-TX-300N/-F include multi-format analog video,
HDMI, DVI-I, balanced and unbalanced line level audio and SPDIF digital audio.
The HDMI input supports HDMI with HDCP, handling WUXGA computer
resolutions and 1080p60 HDTV with multi-channel lossless audio. The HDMI input
can also handle DisplayPort Multimode signals using an appropriate adapter or
dongle
1
. The DVI-I input handles DVI as well as analog RGB signals
2
up to
WUXGA 1920 x 1200 pixels. The multi-format analog video input accepts
component HDTV signals up to 1080p60 as well as standard definition NTSC/PAL
composite and S-video. Audio inputs include HDMI, stereo balanced line level,
stereo unbalanced RCA and S/PDIF coaxial digital.
A single DM CAT output (DM-TX-300N) or DM fiber output (DM-TX-300N-F) is
provided to feed a centralized DM switcher or to drive a single DM-RMC-100-1 (for
the DM-TX-300N) or DM-RMC-100-F (for the DM-TX-300N-F) Receiver/Room
Controller at the display location (all sold separately). An HDMI output is also
included, which may be set to follow the DM output or to provide a constant
pass-through signal from the DVI-I input to feed a local monitor.
NOTE:
The HDMI and DM video/audio outputs function in two modes:
Dual Output
is the default mode, where HDMI and DM both output the same signal.
Monitor Output
, where the HDMI output will always be sourced from the DVI-I
input and the DM output can be switched to take its source from any of the inputs.
Output mode is selectable from the SIMPL™ Windows program.
For a total custom installation solution, Crestron offers a complete range of
professional AV interface cables and wall plates to complement the
DM-TX-300N/-F.
QuickSwitch HD Technology
®
Crestron exclusive QuickSwitch HD technology minimizes the annoying switching
latency that plagues typical digital AV switchers. QuickSwitch HD achieves very
fast switching of digital signals by maintaining a constant HDCP connection with
each device in the system, eliminating the need to re-authenticate each time a
different source is selected.
EDID Format Management
The DM-TX-300N/-F allows for management of the EDID (Extended Display
Identification Data) information that passes between display devices and input
sources in the system. Using Crestron Toolbox™ software, the format and resolution
capabilities of each device can be assessed and managed through the
DM-TX-300N/-F, ensuring reliable operation by instructing sources to output only
the resolutions and formats that can be handled by the displays and system wiring.
NOTE:
EDID signal detection and format management in the DM-TX-300N-F
requires connection to a DMC-F or DMC-F-DSP input card (both sold separately).
1.
HDMI IN
requires an appropriate adapter or interface cable to accommodate a DisplayPort
Multimode signal.
HDMI OUT
requires an appropriate adapter or interface cable to accommodate a
DVI signal. CBL-DP-HD and CBL-HD-DVI interface cables sold separately.
2. VGA (RGB) to DVI-A adapter included. (DVI-A plug fits in the DVI-I socket.) In addition to RGB,
the DVI-I input can accept component, composite and S-video signals via direct interface to Crestron
MPS Series products (sold separately) or through an appropriate adapter (not included). Input sync
detection is not provided for composite or S-video signal types through the DVI-I connection.
