Crestron touch screens have always offered the ultimate user experience. With Core
3 UI, they also deliver the ultimate value, enabling the creation of dynamically rich
user interfaces with incredible efficiency and unparalleled functionality. Using Core
3 UI, programmers can swiftly integrate fluid gesture driven controls, animated
feedback, metadata, embedded apps and full motion video for a deeply engaging and
ultra-intuitive touch screen experience.
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. 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.
3. 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.
