Streaming expands the capabilities of a DM system by removing all distance limitations and allowing distribution to virtually any device - anywhere in the world. Streaming is an essential component of any complete DM system, allowing for high-definition signal routing to Crestron touch screens, digital signage displays, remote buildings, and global offices without requiring any new or dedicated wiring. Large-scale streaming to computers and mobile devices can be facilitated through integration with a streaming media system such as a Wowza or Kaltura media system.A DigitalMedia system with streaming affords the ability to distribute any combination of sources to virtually any device anywhere. Each streaming output supports resolutions up to HD 1080p at bitrates up to 25 Mbps. Built-in scaling enables fast, trouble-free switching between sources of any type or resolution up to 1080p or WUXGA. Audio support includes stereo signals, as well as multichannel audio signals downmixed to stereo via any "DSP" type input card.[11] High-quality video and audio is maintained using high-performance H.264 video and AAC audio compression. The encoded video and audio can be output as independent RTP streams or encapsulated in an MPEG-TS (MPEG-2 Transport Stream) container. HDCP management ensures that protected content cannot be distributed via streaming.Each streaming output is actually fed internally by two separate switcher outputs, allowing any two input sources to appear picture-in-picture or side-by-side in a single stream. Instant, single-frame switching between two full screen images is also possible. The audio signals from both input sources can also be mixed, allowing both signals to be heard simultaneously.The DM-MD8X8-CPU3-RPS can receive streaming signals as well as transmit them. Streaming input capability enables IP cameras and other H.264 encoded sources to be distributed via DigitalMedia alongside HDMI and other non-streaming sources. It also allows DM switchers to be bridged together across a campus or around the world, enabling simplified routing of HD content between buildings and global offices.A DigitalMedia system provides many deployment options to address a wide range of streaming applications and accommodate each organization's specific IT requirements. A DigitalMedia system with streaming supports both unicast and multicast, with or without RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol). Streaming connections can be configured to stream directly to one or more specific IP addresses, or to use RTSP to manage the configuration of numerous connections automatically.Built-In CONTENT LAN PortA streaming input or output may be configured to stream via the CONTENT LAN or LAN port of the DM switcher or via a dedicated CONTENT LAN port of a DMC Series input or output card. Control and content can be combined on a single network or can be isolated onto separate networks.Modular ArchitectureThe DM-MD8X8-CPU3-RPS features a modular architecture with 8 input card slots, and 4 dual output card slots. Each card slot on the DM-MD8X8-CPU3-RPS is field installable, allowing for easy and flexible system configuration with the ability to make changes to the system as needs change. A wide selection of input cards is offered to support a complete range of digital and analog AV signal types including HDMI, DVI, Dual-Mode DisplayPort [12], SDI, RGB/VGA and analog video, SPDIF and analog audio, HDBaseT, H.264 streaming, and all types of DigitalMedia. Available outputs include all types of DigitalMedia, as well as HDBaseT, HDMI, analog audio, and H.264 streaming.Output ExpansionAn HDMI 'Ñšpass-through" output is provided on every input card to allow the inputs of up to five DM switchers to be daisy-chained, enabling the configuration of very large distribution systems with many outputs. Using five DM-MD8X8-CPU3-RPS switchers, it is possible to support up to 40 separate outputs.QuickSwitch HD TechnologyHandling high-definition digital media means handling HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), the encryption scheme that content providers use to protect their DVDs, Blu-ray discs, and broadcast signals against unauthorized copying. Viewing HDCP encrypted content requires a source device to 'Ñšauthenticate" each display and signal processor in the system and issue it a 'Ñškey" before the content can be viewed. Ordinarily this causes a complete loss of signal for up to 15 seconds each time a new source or display is selected anywhere in the system. To make matters worse, every source device has a limited number of keys available, so connect too many displays and the source will simply stop outputting a signal without warning.Not to worry - Crestron QuickSwitch HD technology manages the keys for every HDCP-compliant device in the system, maintaining continuous authentication for each device to ensure fast, reliable routing of any source to any number of display devices.Auto-Locking Technology Crestron Auto-Locking technology enables super fast signal switching by instantaneously configuring every device in the signal path as soon as the signal hits the first device. Whether switching between sources or TV channels, Auto-Locking technology significantly reduces the time it takes each device to sense the new signal and configure itself to handle the changes, virtually eliminating any noticeable gap while switching.EDID Format ManagementWith all of today's varied AV sources comes a multitude of confusing video and audio formats to keep track of, and chances are not every device in your system supports all of the same formats. Such conflicts can wreak havoc any time you route one source to more than one display or audio component. The media source feeding your 1080p or Ultra HD projector in the theater may restrict itself to a lower resolution, or even shut off completely, if someone decides to view the same signal on a smaller TV in another room. And, instead of enjoying your theater's incredible 7.1 surround sound, you may find yourself limited to 5.1 or even plain old stereo.DigitalMedia technology eliminates such conflicts by managing the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) that modern digital devices use to communicate their capabilities. Via Crestron Toolbox software, the format and resolution capabilities of each device can be assessed, allowing the installer to configure EDID signals appropriately for the most desirable and predictable behavior.A Scaler for Every DisplayHigh-performance scaling capability can be added to any DM system using select output cards and DM receivers with built in HD and 4K scalers. By placing an independent scaler at every display device, DigitalMedia technology truly delivers the most flexible and user-friendly solution for routing multiple disparate sources to many different display devices. This 'ÑšDistributed Scaler Approach" ensures an optimal image on every screen no matter what sources are selected. Distributed scaling allows a high-res computer source to be viewed on any display in the building. It also allows an SD, HD, or Ultra HD video source to be viewed simultaneously on the 4K display in your theater and on lower resolution displays throughout the house.Versatile Audio RoutingHDMI technology is the key to handling 7.1 surround sound formats like Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, and DTS-HD Master Audio. Great for your high-end home theater, but how do you share that same source with other audio zones in the house?DigitalMedia technology provides the answer, allowing for the simultaneous distribution of multichannel surround sound and two-channel stereo signals from the same HDMI source. Using a choice of "DSP" type input cards, the DM-MD8X8-CPU3-RPS employs onboard digital processing to derive a stereo downmix from the original multichannel signal. Both signals can be routed separately or simultaneously from any of the switcher's DM outputs, allowing either signal to be selected for output at each DM receiver location.Back at the switcher, the digital stereo signal is also converted to analog to enable sharing with every other room in the house via a Sonnex Multiroom Audio System or any other audio distribution system. The DM-MD8X8-CPU3-RPS also allows surround sound processors and amplifiers to be located centrally instead of at the display location via optional local HDMI outputs.Built-in Ethernet SwitchIn addition to transporting digital video and audio, a DigitalMedia system can also extend 100 Ethernet out to each display and source device via select DM receivers and transmitters, providing high-speed connectivity for any room device that requires a LAN connection. Ethernet is also utilized internally by the Crestron control bus to manage the DM devices in the system and provide display control in each room.Private Network Mode To streamline its implementation on a corporate or university LAN, the DM-MD8X8-CPU3-RPS employs Private Network Mode to provide a single-point connection for the complete system. Using Private Network Mode, the DM-MD8X8-CPU3-RPS requires just one IP address for the complete DM network including all connected DM receivers and transmitters.USB Signal Routing Along with video, audio, and Ethernet, a DigitalMedia system also provides for the routing of USB HID (Human Interface Device) signals, allowing a USB HID compliant keyboard and/or mouse at one location to control a computer or media server at another location. USB HID connectivity is provided through select DM receivers, transmitters, and input cards.Crestron also offers USB extenders to enable the routing of virtually any type of USB peripheral to any host device, all managed through the DigitalMedia system. Connect a USB over Ethernet Extender host module (USB-EXT-DM-LOCAL [13]) to each computer, media server, game system, annotator, and any other host that you want to control or communicate with. Then, install a device module (USB-EXT-DM-REMOTE [13]) at every display location to connect keyboards, mice, game controllers, whiteboards, flash drives, Web cameras, and mobile devices. Every module communicates with the DM switcher over the local Ethernet network or via a direct connection to the LAN port of a DM transmitter or receiver.CEC Embedded Device ControlThe primary objective of every Crestron system is to enable precisely the control desired for a seamless user experience. DigitalMedia technology 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-MD8X8-CPU3-RPS provides a gateway for controlling many devices right through their HDMI or HDBaseT connections, potentially eliminating the need for any dedicated control wires or IR emitters.[14]Easy SetupVia the front panel or using Crestron Toolbox software, every step of the DM-MD8X8-CPU3-RPS setup process is designed to be quick and easy, configuring inputs and outputs automatically while letting the installer make intelligent design decisions along the way. The switcher even tests and measures the length of each DM cable, automatically making the appropriate calibrations for optimal signal transmission to every room. An entire DigitalMedia 8x8 system can be commissioned in under an hour.Web Browser ControlThe DM-MD8X8-CPU3-RPS also includes a built-in web server that allows functions such as Ethernet configuration, routing, and firmware upgrades to be performed. Redundant Power SuppliesThe DM-MD8X8-CPU3-RPS delivers enhanced reliability for mission critical applications by employing extreme long-life, redundant power supplies to ensure continuous dependable operation throughout the life of the system. Each of its internal switch-mode power supplies has a demonstrated MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) of over 1,000,000 hours. In the unlikely event of an individual power supply fault, the DM-MD8X8-CPU3-RPS will continue to operate unhindered on only one power supply. Clear indication of such a fault is provided on the unit's front panel via a flashing red LED. Individual green LEDs are also provided to show the status of each individual power supply. The power supplies can even be remotely monitored via Crestron Fusion software or any control system touch screen.To configure a DM switcher complete with input and output cards, cables, and other peripherals, use the online DigitalMedia Switcher Configuration Tool.Are you upgrading an existing DM switcher that has older 'Ñšmulti-gang" DMCO-series output cards?
