DigitalMedia Switchers: DM-MD64X64/DM-MD128X128 Operations & Installation Guide – DOC. 7318D
Touch Screen Front Panel
Simplified setup and operation of the DM switchers are provided through a large 15”
color touch screen. Through its user-friendly graphical interface, the touch screen
enables the routing of AV signals with the ability to view resolution and format
information for every input and output signal, and even preview a live video image
of any input. Configuration and diagnostics capabilities include monitoring of the
status for each I/O blade, fan tray, and power supply, configuration of Ethernet
settings, and updating of the firmware for all connected devices.
Web Browser Control
The DM switchers also include a built-in web server, enabling full operation and
monitoring through any networked computer with a web browser. Password
protection prevents unauthorized access to this feature.
Hot-Swappable Redundant Power Supplies
The DM switchers deliver enhanced reliability for mission-critical applications,
employing hot-swappable redundant power supplies to ensure continuous operation
throughout the life of the system. Two power supplies occupy the DM-MD64X64;
three power supplies occupy the DM-MD128X128. Each of the onboard power
supplies has a demonstrated MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) of over a half
million hours. In the unlikely event of an individual power supply fault, the
DM-MD64X64 continues to operate unhindered on only one power supply and the
DM-MD128X128 continues to operate on only two power supplies. Clear indication
of such a fault is provided on the unit’s front panel, and the power supplies can also
be remotely monitored via a control system touch screen, mobile device, or Crestron
Fusion RV Remote Asset Management Software. A modular hot-swappable plug-in
design allows any power supply to be replaced in seconds without shutting down the
switcher or removing it from the equipment rack.
NOTE: Although the DM-MD64X64 and DM-MD128X128 continue to operate if a
single power supply fails, it is recommended that the failed power supply be replaced
as soon as possible to restore power supply redundancy.
