Typical Resolution/Data Rate
Configurations
The HDCP Check verifies that each HDMI
source can hold enough keys to be routed to
any output. If possible distribution is larger
than the maximum number of HDCP keys,
then the source cannot be routed to all
outputs simultaneously, and an error message
will be displayed. Refer to the latest version of
the DigitalMedia Design Guide (Doc. 4789) for
details.
The data rate check ensures that each cable is
able to support all video formats that you are
using. If the cables are not able to show the
desired resolutions, you may need to install a
DM-DR Repeater, sold separately, to decrease the
length of individual cables.

NOTE: The switcher controls the IP setup of connected DM-RMC-100s.
• When the switcher is set to DHCP on, all DM-RMC-100s will also be set to DHCP on.
• When the switcher is set to DHCP off, all DM-RMC-100s and input cards with USB
connectors will also be set to DHCP off and their static IP address will be set by the
switcher in the following fashion:
<DM-MD8X8 IPaddress> + <slot #> = <DM-RMC IP address>
EX: DM-MD8X8: 192.168.1.200
DMC-HD (slot 1): 192.168.1.201
DM-RMC-100 output 1 (slot 17): 192.168.1.217
DM-RMC-100 output 8 (slot 24): 192.168.1.224
This reduces the time required to set up the IP configuration of DM devices.
For details on setting IP addresses of the input and output cards for each switcher, refer
to the latest version of the DigitalMedia Switchers
Operations Guide (Doc. 6755).
