HD System Switcher
The DMPS-100-C provides high-performance switching of digital and analog sources. Connectivity is provided for up to four HDMI® sources[2], or other combinations of HDMI, RGB, SPDIF, analog audio, and analog video sources. Input auto-detection and auto-switching eliminates the need to configure the inputs - simply connect your source and the DMPS-100-C selects the right audio and video combination. Built-in audio matrix switching allows routing of four different sources to one digital and two analog audio components. Both HDMI and DM 8G+ outputs are provided to feed the same output signal to two separate displays or other equipment.
Flexible Audio Routing
The HDMI, SPDIF, and analog audio inputs may be configured to follow their associated video inputs, or switched independently. In fact, the audio from any HDMI source can be extracted from the digital stream and converted to analog to feed an outboard processor, mixer, or codec, with the return signal feeding back through any analog input, which can be embedded with any video source to form a new HDMI output. Routing of multi-channel PCM, Dolby®, and DTS® audio sources is supported through the HDMI and DM 8G+ outputs. The HDMI, SPDIF, and analog audio inputs include adjustable input compensation to accommodate a wide range of signals and maintain consistent volume levels when switching between sources.
DigitalMedia 8G+™
The integrated DM 8G+ output affords the ultimate in simplicity, providing a true one-wire interface for a display device. Simply connect a DM 8G+ receiver to provide signal routing and control for a single projector or flat panel display. Supporting wire lengths up to 330 feet (100 meters), DM 8G+ can also provide an ideal interface to a central DigitalMedia switcher as part of a larger multi-room or room-combining system.
DM 8G+ requires just one CAT5e wire, transporting high-definition video, audio, and Ethernet for the connected device without compromise. Power over DM (PoDM) is supplied over the same CAT5e connection, providing a centralized power source for any PoDM compatible receiver. [3,4]
HDBaseT® Certified
Crestron DigitalMedia 8G+ technology is designed using HDBaseT Alliance specifications, ensuring interoperability with third-party HDBaseT products. Via DM 8G+, the DMPS-100-C can be connected directly to any HDBaseT compliant display device without requiring a DM® receiver. The DMPS-100-C supports 5Play™, the feature set of HDBaseT that converges uncompressed full HD digital video, audio, Ethernet, power[4] and control signals through a single CAT5e or CAT6 cable over distances up to 330 ft (100 m).
2-Channel Microphone Mixer
For a complete presentation solution, the DMPS-100-C includes built-in mixing and processing for two microphones. Each mic input provides selectable mic or line level with 60 dB of gain adjustment, switchable 48V phantom power, fully-adjustable gating, compression, limiting, and 4-band EQ. Sophisticated matrix mixing allows for a completely different stereo mix of both microphones at each of the DMPS-100-C's three outputs.
Professional Audio DSP
Each analog audio output on the DMPS-100-C includes its own digital signal processor, allowing each output to be optimized to feed a power amplifier, codec, recorder, or assistive listening system. In addition to real-time adjustable volume, bass, treble, and mute controls, each DSP provides 10-band graphic equalization, 2-band parametric equalization, and 85 ms speaker delay adjustment. Hardware relay muting on each output helps prevent "thumping" on power up.
Built-in Amplifier
Its built-in 40-watt amplifier allows the DMPS-100-C to directly drive a pair of stereo speakers, or a string of 70 or 100 Volt ceiling speakers. Fed by the main "Program" output, the internal amplifier benefits fully from the onboard DSP. For larger applications, Crestron AMP-Series power amplifiers may be added, providing a complete solution for driving separate program and speech speakers, or any dual-zone loudspeaker system.
EDID Format Management
The DMPS-100-C allows for management of the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) information that passes between the display device and input sources in the system. Using Crestron Toolbox™ software, the format and resolution capabilities of each device can be assessed, allowing the installer to configure EDID signals appropriately for the most desirable and predictable behavior.
A Scaler for Every Display
Through a distributed scaler approach, the DMPS-100-C affords a very flexible and user-friendly solution for handling multiple disparate display devices. Employing discrete outboard scalers like the HD-SCALER[1] andDM-RMC-SCALER-C[1], the DMPS-100-C allows an independent high-performance scaler to be installed at every display device, ensuring an optimal image on every screen no matter what source is selected.
QuickSwitch HD® Technology
Handling high-definition digital media means handling HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), the encryption scheme used by content providers to protect their DVDs, Blu-ray discs, and broadcast signals against unauthorized copying. Viewing HDCP encrypted content requires a source device to "authenticate" each display and signal processor in the system and issue it a "key" before delivering an output signal.
Using a conventional HDMI or DVI switcher, it is common to experience a complete loss of signal for up to 15 seconds during the authentication process each time a new source or display is selected anywhere in the system. Also, every source device has a limited number of keys available, so connect too many displays and the source will simply stop outputting a signal without warning.
Crestron QuickSwitch HD manages the keys for every HDCP-compliant device in the system, maintaining continuous authentication for each device to ensure fast, reliable routing of any source to any number of display devices.
Auto-Locking™ Technology
Crestron Auto-Locking Technology enables super fast signal switching by instantaneously configuring every device in the signal path, including DM receivers and scalers, as soon as the signal hits the first device. Whether switching between sources or TV channels, Auto-Locking significantly reduces the time it takes each device to sense the new signal and configure itself to handle the changes, virtually eliminating any noticeable gap while switching.
Built-in Ethernet Switch
In addition to transporting digital video and audio, the DigitalMedia 8G+ port on the DMPS-100-C can also extend Ethernet out to the display device. Ethernet is also utilized internally by the Crestron control bus to manage the receiver and provide device control.
Private Network Mode
To streamline its implementation on a corporate or university LAN, the DMPS-100-C employs Private Network Mode to provide a single-point connection for the complete system. Using Private Network Mode, the DMPS-100-C requires just one IP address for the complete DM network, plus one additional IP address for the built-in control processor.
Integrated Control System
Its built-in 2-Series control system enables the DMPS-100-C to provide complete, customizable control of every AV device, as well as room lighting, window shades, and projection screens, without requiring a separate control processor. The DMPS-100-C supports the full line of Crestron touch screens, keypads, andwireless remotes for a user experience custom tailored to the specific requirements of each end-user. Support for Crestron control apps and Crestron Fusion® Enterprise Management Software delivers the industry's most powerful platform for remotely controlling and managing multiple rooms using computers and mobile devices.
CEC Embedded Device Control
The primary objective of every Crestron system is to enable precisely the control desired for a seamless user experience. In addition to conventional IR, RS-232, and Ethernet device control, the DMPS-100-C can provide an additional alternative by harnessing the CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) signal embedded in HDMI. The DMPS-100-C provides a gateway for controlling many devices right through their HDMI (or HDBaseT) connections, potentially eliminating the need for any dedicated control wires or IR emitters. Through proper CEC signal management, the DMPS-100-C allows you to take control of each device as you like.
Easy Setup
Every step of the DMPS-100-C setup process is designed to be quick and easy using its front panel or Crestron Toolbox software, configuring inputs and outputs automatically while letting the installer make intelligent design decisions along the way. Out of the box, the DMPS-100-C front panel supports basic signal routing for easy testing and troubleshooting during installation. The front panel label strips can be customized using Crestron Engraver software or standard 3/8" tape labels, allowing for the clear designation of each input and output. Inputs and outputs may also be designated by name through the software to appear on the LCD display.
