Crestron's newest DigitalMedia (DM) output card is now available in 20 versions, expanding the capabilities of the modular 8x8 and 16x16 DM matrix switchers. The new DM-TX300N and DM-TX300N-F are 3x1 transmitters that accept and transmit analog or uncompressed digital HD signals long distances over copper or fiber, says the company.
The new DMCO output cards are part of a selection that allows several combinations of DM Fiber, DM Cat (twisted pair), HDMI, and stereo analog audio to be installed on a single DM matrix switcher chassis. With a dedicated HDMI output accompanied by a balanced analog stereo audio output, any two-channel audio signal is available to feed an analog audio mixer, processor, or amplifier, the company says.
According the Crestron officials, the new DM-TX-300N and DM-TX-300N-F are best suited for use at a lectern, conference table, or credenza to connect multiformat analog video, HDMI, DVI-I, balanced or unbalanced line-level audio, and SPDIF digital audio source signals to a DM switcher or receiver. The transmitters send uncompressed signals hundreds of feet over a single copper cable, or up to 1,000 feet via dual fiber strands, the company says.
