DigitalMedia thoughtfully manages all of the various AV signals and devices in your
system, matching each source's output to the capabilities of the selected display(s).
Every signal is preserved in its native video resolution and audio format, ensuring a
pure, lossless signal path throughout.
Multimedia Computer/AV Interface
The DM-TX-200-C-2G provides simple switching between two inputs. Its HDMI
input supports HDCP and handles WUXGA computer resolutions and 1080p60
HDTV with multi-channel lossless audio. The HDMI input can also handle DVI and
DisplayPort Multimode signals using an appropriate adapter or dongle

. The RGB
input handles all analog RGB and VGA signals up to WUXGA 1920x1200 pixels, as
well as analog video up to 1080p60

. A mini-TRS stereo audio input is also provided
to accept analog audio signals from an unbalanced line level or headphone output.
1. The RGB input can accept component, composite, and S-video signals via direct interface to Crestron
MPS Series products, or through an appropriate adapter (not included). Input sync detection is not
provided for composite or S-video signal types through the RGB connection.
2. HDMI requires an appropriate adapter or interface cable to accommodate a DVI or DisplayPort
Multimode signal. CBL-HD-DVI interface cable sold separately.
3. Power over DM (PoDM) requires connection to a DM 8G+ PoDM power sourcing device.
4. For DM 8G+ wiring up to 330 feet (100 meters) between devices, use Crestron DM-CBL-8G
DigitalMedia 8G cable, Crestron DM-CBL DigitalMedia cable, Crestron DM-CBL-D DigitalMedia D
cable, or generic CAT5e (or better) UTP or STP. Shielded cable and connectors are recommended to
safeguard against unpredictable environmental electrical noise which may impact performance at
resolutions above 1080p. Refer to the latest version of the Crestron DigitalMedia Infrastructure Guide
(Doc. 4556) for complete wiring guidelines and to the Crestron DigitalMedia Design Guide (Doc.
4789) for complete system design guidelines. All cable sold separately.
