Wall Plate 4K DigitalMedia 8G+® Receiver & Room Controller 100
DM-RMC-4K-100-C-1G
Provides a cost-effective, 1-gang mountable interface for an HD or 4K display device as part of a complete DigitalMedia™ System. Connects to the DM 8G+® output of a DM® Switcher or Transmitter via a single CATx cable. Includes IR and RS-232 control ports. Available in white or black.
The DM-RMC-4K-100-C-1G provides a simple, cost-effective interface solution for a single display device as part of a complete Crestron® DigitalMedia™ system. It functions as a DM 8G+® receiver and control interface, providing a single HDMI® output along with RS-232 and IR control ports.[1] In addition to DM 8G+, it is also compatible with HDBaseT®, allowing it to be connected directly to an HDBaseT certified source.
Its 1-gang mountable design allows the DM-RMC-4K-100-C-1G to be flush mounted behind a flat panel display or above a ceiling mounted projector. It can also be mounted beneath a table or attached to a suitable flat surface using the mounting bracket provided. It connects to the head end or source location using a single CAT type twisted pair cable.[2] Standard gang-box mounting (3-1/2" deep) allows for installation adjacent to an Ethernet jack (Crestron MP-WP183 or equivalent) for a total connectivity solution.[3]
4K Ultra HD
Crestron DigitalMedia continues to advance the standard for digital AV signal distribution, delivering the world’s first end-to-end 4K system solution. The DM-RMC-4K-100-C-1G features the latest DM 8G+ technology, providing support for the transport of 4K and Ultra HD video signals. Support for 4K video also ensures support for the latest generation of computers and monitors with native resolutions beyond 1080p and WUXGA.
DigitalMedia 8G+®
As the leader in HDMI and control system technologies, Crestron developed DigitalMedia (DM®) to deliver the first complete HD AV distribution system to take HDMI to a higher level. DigitalMedia allows virtually any mix of HDMI and other AV sources to be distributed throughout a home, office, school, or virtually any other facility. The latest generation of DM is called DigitalMedia 8G™ (DM 8G®). Engineered for ultra high-bandwidth and ultimate scalability, DM 8G provides a true one-wire lossless transport for moving high-definition video, audio, and control signals over a choice of twisted-pair or fiber optic cable.
DM 8G over twisted-pair copper wire is called DigitalMedia 8G+ (DM 8G+). DM 8G+ handles uncompressed Full HD 1080p, Ultra HD, 2K, and 4K video signals with support for 3D, Deep Color, and HDCP 2.2. Audio capabilities include support for high-bitrate 7.1 audio formats like Dolby® TrueHD, Dolby Atmos®, and DTS-HD® as well as uncompressed linear PCM. All signals are transported over a single CAT type wire, supporting 1080p, WUXGA, and 2K signals at distances up to 330 feet (100 m) using Crestron DM Ultra Cable, Crestron DM 8G Cable, or third-party CAT5e. Higher resolutions up to UHD and 4K are supported at distances up to 330 feet (100 m) using DM Ultra Cable, 230 feet (70 m) using DM 8G Cable, or 165 feet (50 m) using CAT5e.[2]
HDBaseT® Certified
Crestron DigitalMedia 8G+ technology is designed using HDBaseT Alliance specifications, ensuring interoperability with other HDBaseT certified products. Via its DM 8G+ input, the DM-RMC-4K-100-C-1G can be connected directly to an HDBaseT compliant source without requiring a DM transmitter.
Multimedia Display Interface
A single HDMI digital AV output port is provided on the DM-RMC-4K-100-C-1G for connection to a display or other device. The HDMI output can also handle DVI signals using an appropriate adapter or interface cable.[4]
A single CAT type cable connects the DM-RMC-4K-100-C-1G to a DM switcher or transmitter, or to an HDBaseT source, transporting video, audio, control, and power signals all through one simple RJ45 connection.[2,5,6] Multiple DM-RMC-4K-100-C-1Gs may be installed to handle each display in a multiroom distribution system, all fed from a central DM-MD series switcher. Or, a single DM-RMC-4K-100-C-1G can be fed straight from a DM 8G+ or HDBaseT transmitter, affording a simple solution for extending a computer or AV signal to a single display.
Embedded Device Control
The DM-RMC-4K-100-C-1G includes built-in RS-232 and IR control ports to allow for programmable control of the connected display device (via a control system).[1] Additional control capability is afforded by harnessing the CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) signal embedded in HDMI. Through its connection to the control system, the DM-RMC-4K-100-C-1G provides a gateway for controlling the source right through its HDMI connection, potentially eliminating the need for a dedicated serial cable or IR emitter.[7]
Versatile Mounting Options
The DM-RMC-4K-100-C-1G is designed to be installed using a 3-1/2” deep 1-gang electrical box or plaster ring (not included). It can also be mounted beneath a table or attached to a suitable flat surface using the mounting bracket provided, or it can be fastened to a single rack rail in an equipment cabinet. The DM cable connects to the rear of the receiver via a shielded RJ45 DM port. The unit can be powered using the wall mount power pack (included), or PoDM (Power over DigitalMedia) for a true one-wire solution.[5,6] An array of indicators is provided for easy setup and troubleshooting.
Notes:
1. The IR and RS-232 (COM) ports are only enabled when the DM-RMC-4K-100-C-1G is connected to an Ethernet-enabled DM transmitter or switcher that is addressable from a Crestron control system. When connected to a DM switcher, the switcher must be in private network mode.
2. The maximum cable length for DigitalMedia 8G+ (DM 8G+) or HDBaseT is dependent upon the type of cable and resolution of the video signal. Refer to the “Maximum Cable Lengths” table for a detailed overview. Crestron legacy cable models DM-CBL DigitalMedia Cable and DM-CBL-D DigitalMedia D Cable support the same resolutions and cable lengths as CAT5e. Shielded cable and connectors are recommended to safeguard against unpredictable environmental electrical noise which may impact performance at resolutions above 1080p. Refer to the Crestron DigitalMedia Design Guide, Doc. #4546 for complete system design guidelines. DM 8G+ is compatible with HDBaseT Alliance specifications for connecting to HDBaseT compliant equipment. All wire and cables are sold separately.
3. The DM-RMC-4K-100-C-1G does not include an Ethernet port. Local Ethernet connectivity for external devices requires a MP-WP183 or equivalent Ethernet jack with a dedicated LAN connection.
4. The HDMI output requires an appropriate adapter or interface cable to accommodate a DVI signal. CBL-HD-DVI interface cables are available separately.
5. To power the DM-RMC-4K-100-C-1G using PoDM (Power over DigitalMedia) requires connection to a DM switcher or other equipment that has a PoDM PSE port. Any wiring that is connected to a PoDM PSE port is for intra-building use only and should not be connected to a line that runs outside of the building in which the PSE is located.
6. To power the DM-RMC-4K-100-C-1G using HDBaseT PoE requires connection to a switcher or other equipment that has an HDBaseT PoE PSE port. Any wiring that is connected to an HDBaseT PoE PSE port is for intra-building use only and should not be connected to a line that runs outside of the building in which the PSE is located.
7. Supports simple pass-through of CEC when connected directly to a DM-TX-4K-100-C-1G transmitter. Supports full management of CEC between the locally connected HDMI device and a control system when connected to an Ethernet-enabled 4K DM transmitter or switcher that supports CEC over HDBaseT. Refer to the spec sheet for each DM transmitter, switcher, output card, or output blade to verify “CEC” is listed under “HDBaseT” in the “Communications” section of the product’s specifications.
