Introduction
The Crestron® DM-TX-201-C provides an interface for computers and high-definition AV
sources as part of a complete Crestron DigitalMedia™ system. DM-TX-201-C functions as
a DM 8G+® transmitter and switcher, providing HDMI ®, RGB, and analog audio inputs as
well as Ethernet and USB HID ports. In addition to compatibility with other DM 8G+
devices, the DM-TX-201-C is also compatible with HDBaseT® compliant devices.
The DM-TX-201-C provides simple switching between the HDMI and RGB inputs. The inputs
can be configured to switch automatically or can be controlled through a Crestron control
system. Analog audio breakaway capability enables the analog audio input of the
DM-TX-201-C to be used with either video input. The DM-TX-201-C also functions as a
keyboard/mouse extender, allowing the connected USB HID compliant host to be
controlled by a mouse and/or keyboard that is located at a remote location.
