Crestron DM-TX-200-C-2G-FLOOR/WALL DigitalMedia 8G+™ Transmitter 200
A single cable connects the DM-TX-200-C-2G to a DM switcher or receiver,
transporting video, audio, control, networking, and power signals all through one
simple RJ-45 connection
1, 2
. Used with a single DM 8G+ receiver/room controller
and optional Crestron control system, the DM-TX-200-C-2G affords a simple
solution for extending a multimedia computer or AV signal to a single display up to
330 feet (100 meters) away
1
. As part of a larger system using a DM switcher,
multiple DM-TX-200-C-2Gs may be installed to enable the distribution of several
sources at different locations to feed multiple displays throughout any room or larger
facility.
Keyboard/Mouse Extender
The DM-TX-200-C-2G also functions as a keyboard/mouse extender, allowing a
USB HID-compliant keyboard and/or mouse at the floor box location
(DM-TX-200-C-2G-FLOOR) or electrical box location (DM-TX-200-C-2G-WALL)
to control a computer or other host device located at the central equipment rack or
some other location.
EDID Format Management
The DM-TX-200-C-2G allows for management of the EDID (Extended Display
Identification Data) information that passes between the display devices and input
sources in the system. Using Crestron Toolbox™ software, the format and resolution
capabilities of each device can be assessed and managed through the
DM-TX-200-C-2G, ensuring reliable operation by instructing sources to output only
the resolutions and formats that can be handled by the displays and system wiring.
CEC Embedded Device Control
The primary objective of every Crestron system is to enable precisely the control
desired for a seamless user experience. DigitalMedia provides an alternative to
conventional IR and RS-232 device control by harnessing the CEC (Consumer
Electronics Control) signal embedded in HDMI. Through its connection to the
control system, the DM-TX-200-C-2G provides a gateway for controlling the
connected source device through the HDMI connection, potentially eliminating the
need for any dedicated control wires or IR probes. Through proper CEC signal
management, DigitalMedia allows you to take control of each device in the system
as you like.
1. 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.
2. Power over DM (PoDM) requires connection to a DM 8G+ PoDM power sourcing device.
