Crestron DM-MD6X1 6X1 DigitalMedia™ Switcher
4. For DigitalMedia CAT wiring, use DM-CBL DigitalMedia Cable. Up to two DM Repeaters (model
DM-DR, sold separately), may be required. Refer to the latest version of the Crestron DigitalMedia
Design Guide (Doc. 4789) for complete wiring guidelines.
5. The DM OUT port consists of two separate RJ-45 connectors labeled D and M. The D port carries
HDMI signal. The M port carries data. Refer to the following table for the connector pinouts.

6. To determine which is pin 1 on the cable, hold the cable so the end of the eight pin modular jack is
facing away from you, with the clip down and copper side up. Pin 1 is on the far left.
7. The source gain compensation only has an effect on the analog audio output (AUDIO OUT) and has
no effect on the DM or HDMI outputs. In addition, the total gain at the output will never exceed 0 dB,
as the total output range is –80 dB to 0 dB. This signifies that a +10 dB input compensation will start
to decrease to 0 dB as the output volume increases from –10 dB to 0 dB.
8. DMNet wiring is not compatible with Cresnet wiring. DMNet wiring cannot be daisy chained.
9. Refer to the following table for the 24 A B G connector pinouts.
PIN # SIGNAL DESCRIPTION WIRE COLOR
G Ground DC Ground Black
B DMNet- DMNet Grey
A DMNet+ DMNet Orange
24 24V DC DC Power Red
10. If a DM switcher or other DM device is supplying power and is connected to a DM port of the
DM-MD6X1 or other DM midpoint, then the +24V wire between the DM device and the
DM-MD6X1 must be disconnected. The A B G wires must remain connected.
11. For external DMNet power, use a Crestron CNPWS-75, C2N-SPWS300 (both sold separately), or
other Cresnet power supply as required. Do not interconnect DMNet with Cresnet.
