The DMC-F may also be used with the DMCI DigitalMedia Card Interface to
provide a DM fiber receiver solution that is perfect for installation in an equipment
rack or AV cart, or as a portable display interface. As a DM receiver, and as a DM
switcher input card, the DMC-F enables EDID signal detection and format
management, CEC device control, and audio breakaway.

DMC-F-DSP DM Fiber Input
Card with Down-mixing for
DM Switchers
The DMC-F-DSP is an input card for a DigitalMedia switcher, providing one optical
fiber type DM input. The DM fiber input enables the connection of a DM
transmitter, or the output of another DM switcher, with a potential cable length up to
1000 feet (300 m) using multimode fiber optic cable.
NOTE: For optimum performance, Crestron recommends Crestron DigitalMedia
cable.
The DMC-F-DSP provides all of the features of the DMC-F with the addition of
internal DSP processing to enable the simultaneous distribution of uncompressed 7.1
channel HD surround sound and 2-channel audio. The DMC-F-DSP is recommended
for use with Blu-ray Disc players and other HD sources that output multi-channel
surround sound audio via HDMI, allowing the multi-channel signal to reach the
surround sound system without requiring any decoding, while also providing a
2-channel down-mix to feed a stereo zone or audio distribution system.
Additional connections on the card include both HDMI and stereo analog audio loop
back outputs. The HDMI output simply passes the input signal through to feed a
local device, or to feed a second DM switcher for output expansion purposes. The
analog audio output, which features programmable volume control, breaks out the
stereo audio signal from the HDMI input and passes it through to feed a
CNX-PAD8A, AAE, or other multi-room audio distribution system.
The DMC-F-DSP may also be used with the DMCI DigitalMedia Card Interface to
provide a DM fiber receiver solution that is perfect for installation in an equipment
rack or AV cart, or as a portable display interface. As a DM receiver, and as a DM
switcher input card, the DMC-F-DSP enables EDID signal detection and format
management, CEC device control, and audio breakaway.
