EDID Format Management
The DMPS-100/200/300-C allows for management of the EDID (Extended Display
Identification Data) information that passes between the display devices and input
sources in the system. Using 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 Display
Through a distributed scaler approach, the DMPS-100/200/300-C affords a very
flexible and user-friendly solution for handling multiple disparate display devices
and video codecs. Employing discrete outboard scalers like the HD-SCALER
and
DM-RMC-SCALER-C (both sold separately), the DMPS-100/200/300-C allows an
independent high-performance scaler to be installed at every display device, and in
front of each codec, ensuring an optimal image on every screen no matter what
sources are selected.
QuickSwitch HD Technology
Handling high definition digital media means handling HDCP (High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection), the encryption scheme used by content providers to
protect their DVDs and Blu-ray Disc™ releases and broadcast signals against
unauthorized copying. Viewing HDCP encrypted content requires a source device to
"authenticate" each display and signal processor in the system and issue it a "key"
before delivering an output signal.
Using a conventional HDMI or DVI switcher, it is common to experience a complete
loss of signal for up to 15 seconds during the authentication process each time a new
source or display is selected anywhere in the system. Also, every source device has a
limited number of keys available, so connect too many displays and the source
simply stops outputting a signal without warning.
Crestron QuickSwitch HD
®
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, including DM
transmitters, DM receivers, and scalers, as soon as the signal hits the first device.
Whether switching between sources or TV channels, Auto-Locking 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.
Built-in Ethernet Switch
In addition to transporting digital video and audio, the DigitalMedia 8G+ ports on
the DMPS-100/200/300-C can also extend Ethernet out to each display and source
device, providing high-speed connectivity for each room device that requires a LAN
connection. Ethernet is also utilized internally by the Crestron control bus to manage
each transmitter and receiver and provide device control.
Private Network Mode
To streamline its implementation on a corporate or university LAN, the
DMPS-100/200/300-C employs Private Network mode to provide a single-point
connection for the complete system. Using Private Network mode, the
