Crestron DGE-2 Digital Graphics Engine

Digital Graphics Engine with

HDMI

and DigitalMedia™ CAT

Connectivity: DGE-2

Introduction

Designed for use with a Crestron

V-Panel™ HD Touch Screen Display (sold

separately)

, the DGE-2 Digital Graphics Engine (DGE) allows for a very

streamlined touch screen installation by placing the bulk of the electronics out of

sight at the central equipment location. Mounted in an equipment rack, the DGE-2

connects directly to the head end AV sources, switchers and control network, while

the touch screen display can be up to 450 feet (137 meters) away with just a single

cable between them.

The DGE-2 delivers the ultimate touch screen experience with the latest high

definition graphics technology powered by our groundbreaking Core 3 UI™.

Additional features include extensive connectivity for displaying HD video from

external AV and computer sources, plus high performance H.264 streaming video,

onboard multimedia and Web browsing, IP Intercom

and built-in annotation. The

DGE-2 supports HDCP and enables full integration with a complete range of digital

and analog devices via HDMI

, DigitalMedia™, Ethernet and various analog

connections.

1. The V-Panel touch screen must be equipped with a DM CAT type interface for direct connection to

the DGE-2. Other V-Panel touch screens having a DM 8G+™ interface may be connected to the

DGE-2 through a DM 8G+ transmitter or DigitalMedia switcher. Third-party touch screens may be

connected directly to the DGE-2 via HDMI and USB or remotely via a DM CAT receiver or through

a DigitalMedia system. Contact a Crestron representative for additional design assistance.

2. For DigitalMedia CAT wiring, use DM-CBL DigitalMedia cable. Maximum cable length is 450 feet

(137 meters). Up to two DM CAT Repeaters (model DM-DR) may be required. All cable and

repeaters sold separately. Refer to the Crestron DigitalMedia Design Guide (Doc. 4546) for DM

system design guidelines. It is available from the Crestron Web site at

www.crestron.com/dmresources

3. Intercom is only supported using a V-Panel model V12 or V15. For IP Intercom, the V-Panel must

connect directly to the DGE-2 via DM CAT with no repeaters or switchers in line.
