The Crestron® DMCI is a compact device designed to support a variety of interface functions using any DMC-Series DM® Switcher Input Card. With a complete range of input cards available, the DMCI can be used to convert virtually any type of AV signal to HDMI®. It can be used to equip an HDMI switcher to accept other types of inputs, or it can be used to add an HDMI output to an analog AV switcher. It can even be used to create a custom DigitalMedia™ receiver or streaming decoder. Integration with a Crestron control system via Cresnet® allows detailed AV signal information to be viewed on a touch screen, and allows for the routing of CEC signals. The DMCI can be rack-mounted, placed on a shelf, or attached under a table.[1]< /p>
