High-Definition Scaler
Through a distributed scaler approach, DigitalMedia truly delivers the most
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 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-C accepts any video source from standard NTSC
480i to HD 1080p60 w/Deep Color, 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. Setup and use of the
scaler is simplified through fully automatic operation utilizing the
display’s EDID
[2,4]
.
A pair of DM-RMC-SCALER-Cs can also 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.
Video Wall Processing
The DM-RMC-SCALER-C has another trick up its sleeve, providing 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 2x2,
3x2, 3x3, 4x3, or 4x4 are supported, and all that is required is a separate
DM-RMC-SCALER-C for each display, and a DM switcher with sufficient
DM 8G+ 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-C includes a 10/100 Ethernet port, providing a
convenient LAN connection for a local network device.
USB Extender
Via its USB HID port, the DM-RMC-SCALER-C 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. Expanded USB signal routing capability is available using Crestron
USB-EXT-DM USB Extenders

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-C
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
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-RMC-SCALER-C provides a
gateway for controlling the display device right through the HDMI
connection, potentially eliminating the need for any dedicated control wires
or IR emitters.
Low-Profile Installation
Its low-profile design makes the DM-RMC-SCALER-C 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, affording a clean installation that
protrudes a mere 1-1/8 inches (29 mm) from the mounting surface.
Connections for the display device are all positioned along the top and
bottom of the unit for a clean, serviceable installation. The DigitalMedia
connection is provided on the rear panel within the electrical box. An array
of indicators is provided on the front panel for easy setup
and troubleshooting.
