DM-TX-200-C-2G 

 

DigitalMedia 8G+™ Transmitter 200

 

Keyboard/Mouse Extender 

The DM-TX-200-C-2G functions as a keyboard/mouse extender, allowing a USB 
HID-compliant keyboard and/or mouse at the wall plate location to control a 
computer or other host device located at the central equipment rack or some other 
location. 

EDID Format Management 

The DM-TX-200-C-2G allows for management of the EDID (Extended Display 
Identification Data) information that passes between the 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-200-C-2G, ensuring reliable operation by instructing sources to output only 
the resolutions and formats that can be handled by the displays and system wiring. 

CEC Embedded Device Control 

The primary objective of every Crestron system is to enable precisely the control 
desired for a seamless user experience. DigitalMedia provides an alternative to 
conventional IR and RS-232 device control by harnessing the CEC (Consumer 
Electronics Control) signal embedded in HDMI. Through its connection to the 
control system, the DM-TX-200-C-2G provides a gateway for controlling the 
connected source device through the HDMI connection, potentially eliminating the 
need for any dedicated control wires or IR probes. Through proper CEC signal 
management, DigitalMedia allows you to take control of each device in the system 
as you like. 

Simple Electrical Box Mounting 

The DM-TX-200-C-2G is designed to fit a 2-gang electrical box or plaster ring (each 
not included). It also fits a 2-gang opening in a typical 6 inch (153 mm) deep floor 
box (not included). A DM cable connects to the rear of the transmitter via a shielded 
RJ-45 DM port. The unit can be powered using the included wall mount power pack 
or via Power over DM (PoDM) for a true one-wire solution.* An array of indicators 
on the front of the DM-TX-200-C-2G provides for easy setup and troubleshooting. 
Advanced configuration is enabled through Crestron Toolbox software. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*  PoDM requires connection to a DM 8G+ PoDM power sourcing device.
