HDBaseT Certified DigitalMedia 8G+ Input Card with Downmixing for DM Switchers

The DMC-C-DSP is an input card designed for use with any card-based Crestron® DigitalMedia™ Switcher. It provides one DM 8G+®input, with complementaryHDMI® pass-through and analog audio outputs. The DM 8G+ input enables the connection of a DM 8G+transmitter, the output of another DM® switcher, or an HDBaseT® certified source, using a single CAT type twisted pair cable.[1] Power over DM (PoDM) is supplied through the same connection, providing a centralized power source for PoDM compatible transmitters.

The DMC-C-DSP provides all the features of the DMC-C with the addition of downmixing to enable the simultaneous distribution of multichannel 7.1 surround sound and 2-channel stereo signals. It is recommended for use with surround sound sources to allow the original multichannel signal to be distributed to rooms with surround sound systems, while simultaneously distributing a 2-channel downmix signal to stereo-only rooms and devices.

NOTE: Refer to model DMC-4K-C-DSP for applications requiring support for higher resolutions up to 4K.

DigitalMedia 8G+®

Engineered for ultra high-bandwidth and ultimate scalability, DigitalMedia 8G+ (DM 8G+) provides a true one-wire lossless transport for moving high-definition video, audio, power, Ethernet, and control signals over low-cost twistedpair copper wire. DM 8G+ handles uncompressed Full HD 1080p video signals with support for HDCP, Deep Color, 3D, and high-bitrate 7.1 audio, as well as computer signals up to WUXGA. All signals are transported over a single CAT type cable, supporting distances up to 330 feet (100 m) using Crestron DM 8G® Cable or CAT5e.

HDBaseT® Certified

Crestron DigitalMedia 8G+ technology is designed using HDBaseT Alliance specifications, ensuring interoperability with other HDBaseT certified products. An HDBaseT compliant device can be connected directly to the DM 8G+ input on the DMC-C-DSPwithout requiring a DM transmitter.

HDMI® Pass-Through

Every DM switcher input card includes an HDMI output port, which can be used to pass the input signal through to a local audio processor or video monitor, or to feed a second DM switcher for output expansion purposes.

Audio Extracting and Downmixing

The DMC-C-DSP also includes an unbalanced analog audio output, allowing stereo audio signals to be extracted from the digi
