Notes:
1. All output types are configured in pairs except for streaming. A single streaming output
occupies the space of two outputs of any other type. To configure a complete DM switcher
with output and input cards, please use the online DigitalMedia Switcher Configuration Tool.
Current DM switchers use DMC-series “single-gang” output cards. For older DM switchers
with DMCO-series “ganged” type output cards, please contact your Crestron representative
before ordering new output cards.
2. Crestron control via the DM network requires a Crestron control system, sold separately.
3. 4K and Ultra HD are currently supported over HDMI, DM 8G+, and HDBaseT using select input
and output cards. Refer to the specifications for each card for its full capabilities.
4. The maximum cable length for DigitalMedia 8G+ (DM 8G+) or HDBaseT is dependent upon
the type of cable, the choice of input/output card, and the resolution of the video signal. Refer
to the “Maximum DM 8G Cable Lengths” table for a detailed overview. Crestron legacy cable
models DM-CBL DigitalMedia Cable and DM-CBL-D DigitalMedia D Cable support the same
resolutions and cable lengths as CAT5e. Shielded cable and connectors are recommended to
safeguard against unpredictable environmental electrical noise which may impact performance
at resolutions above 1080p. DM 8G+ is compatible with HDBaseT Alliance specifications for
connecting to HDBaseT compliant equipment.
5. The maximum cable length for DigitalMedia 8G Fiber (DM 8G Fiber) is 1000 ft (300 m) using
CRESFIBER8G multimode fiber optic cable, or 500 ft (150 m) using CRESFIBER (legacy),
CRESFIBER-SINGLE-SC, or third-party OM3 simplex multimode fiber optic cable.
6. The maximum cable length for DigitalMedia 8G Single-Mode Fiber (DM 8G SM Fiber) is
7.5 miles (12 km) using CRESFIBER8G-SM or third-party G.652.D (or better) single-mode fiber
optic cable.
7. The maximum cable length for DigitalMedia CAT (DM CAT) is 450 ft (137 m) using DM-CBL
DigitalMedia Cable. Actual cable length depends upon multiple factors. Up to two DM
Repeaters (Model DM-DR) may be required.
8. The maximum cable length for DigitalMedia Fiber (DM Fiber) is 1000 ft (300 m) using
CRESFIBER, CRESFIBER8G, CRESFIBER-DUAL-SC, or third-party OM2/OM3 duplex multimode
fiber optic cable.
9. Refer to the Crestron DigitalMedia Design Guide, Doc. #4546 for complete system design
guidelines. All wire and cables are sold separately.
10. Streaming output supports 2-channel stereo audio only. Multichannel surround sound audio
sources cannot be streamed unless downmixed to stereo. Stereo downmix capability requires
