Crestron DGE-2 Digital Graphics Engine
Presentation Output
Through its HDMI output or via a DigitalMedia system, the DGE-2 allows the touch
screen image to be sent to additional display devices, allowing videos, PowerPoint
presentations, annotation and other on-screen media to be shared with a live
audience.
DigitalMedia
DigitalMedia (DM
®
) connectivity opens up new ways to configure a touch screen
control system. For instance, using a DM switcher such as the DM-MD8X8 (sold
separately), multiple touch screens can be connected to a single DGE-2, providing a
simple, cost effective way for multiple participants to view and control the same
graphical interface. DigitalMedia also provides a versatile means for distributing
touch screen content to a larger audience, routing the DGE-2’s DM output to feed
additional video displays and sound equipment.
V-Panel Connectivity
The DGE-2 features a DM CAT type output, supporting the direct connection to
V-Panel touch screen models V12 and V15 (both sold separately). It can also
connect to any DM switcher or receiver equipped with a DM CAT input. A single
DigitalMedia cable carries all video, audio, Ethernet, USB, control and power signals
up to 450 feet (137 meters) between the V-Panel and DGE-2.

The DGE-2 is also compatible with the V24R-C series of V-Panel 24” HD Touch
Screen Displays (sold separately). A DigitalMedia 8G+™ Transmitter
(DM-TX-201-C or equivalent, sold separately) provides the interface between the
DGE-2’s HDMI output and the DM 8G+™ input of a V24R-C. Alternately, when
feeding a V24R-C display through a DM switcher, the DM 8G+ transmitter is not
required.
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.
