DMC-F

DigitalMedia™ Fiber Input Card for DM® Switchers

Discontinued

This product has been discontinued. Please contact Crestron True Blue Support at 1-888-CRESTRON for a replacement solution or more information.

Provides a single DM® Fiber input for any DigitalMedia™ Switcher with modular plug-in input card slots.

The DMC-F is an input card for a Crestron® DigitalMedia™ Switcher, providing one DM® Fiber input. The DM Fiber input enables the connection of a DM Fiber Transmitter, or the output of another DM switcher, with a potential cable length up to 1000 feet (300 m) using multimode fiber optic cable[1].

In addition to the DM Fiber input, the DMC-F also includes HDMI® and stereo analog audio outputs. The HDMI output can be used to pass the input signal through to a local audio processor or video monitor, 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 DM Fiber input and passes it through to feed a multi-room audio distribution system.[2]

NOTE: For applications requiring the simultaneous distribution of surround sound and 2-channel audio signals, use model DMC-F-DSP.

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

  1. The maximum DigitalMedia Fiber cable length is 1000 ft (300 m) using CRESFIBER, CRESFIBER8G, CRESFIBER-DUAL-SC, or generic OM2/OM3 duplex multimode fiber optic cable. Refer to the Crestron DigitalMedia Design Guide, Doc. #4546 for complete system design guidelines. All wire and cables sold separately.
