DigitalMedia™ CAT Receiver 

Crestron 

DM-RX1-1G 

DigitalMedia 

As the leader in HDMI and control system technologies, Crestron has 
developed DigitalMedia, the first complete HD AV distribution system 
that takes HDMI to a higher level, and allows virtually any mix of AV 
sources to be distributed throughout the home, office, school, or virtually 
any other facility.  
DigitalMedia distributes uncompressed digital video and audio signals 
several hundred feet using DM cable

1

. DigitalMedia thoughtfully 

manages all of the different signals and devices, matching each source’s 
output to the capabilities of the selected display(s) without using scaling 
or compression. Every signal is preserved in its native video resolution 
and audio format, ensuring a pure, lossless signal path throughout. 

Multimedia Display Interface 

A single HDMI digital AV output port is provided on the DM-RX1-1G, 
handling 1080p60 HDTV with HDCP and multi-channel HD lossless 
audio, all through a single connection. The HDMI output can also handle 
WUXGA computer resolutions, and supports DVI signals using an 
appropriate adapter or interface cable

The DM-RX1-1G connects to the DM CAT output of a DM-MD series 
switcher to feed a high-definition display device or other equipment up to 
425 feet (~130 meters)

away. Multiple DM-RX1-1Gs may be installed to 

feed multiple displays, all fed from a central DM-MD series switcher. 

Simple Wall Mount Design 

The DM-RX1-1G is designed to be wall mounted using a standard 
electrical box or plaster ring, or attached to a rack rail in the back of an 
equipment cabinet. It also fits select floor boxes. The DM cable is 
terminated to the rear of the receiver using screw terminals. 
 

 

 
 

1.

 

For DigitalMedia CAT wiring, use DM-CBL DigitalMedia Cable. Up to two DM 
Repeaters (Model DM-DR, sold separately) may be required. Refer to the 
Crestron DigitalMedia Design Guide (Doc. 4789) for complete wiring guidelines. 

2.

 

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