    DigitalMedia™ (DM) switchers provide the foundation for a complete DigitalMedia system, delivering a true high-definition multi-room AV signal routing solution that is flexible and installer-friendly. The DM-MD8X8, DM-MD16X16, and DM-MD32X32 afford low-latency switching and pure, lossless distribution of HDMI™ and other signals to support the latest Blu-ray Disc™ players, HDTV receivers, digital media servers, computers, and other AV devices.
  • Page 8 DM-MD16X16 are factory-configurable to provide up to 16 DM room outputs and/or HDMI outputs in a single chassis, with expansion capability possible for up to 80 outputs using multiple chassis. The outputs of the DM-MD8X8 are field-configurable to provide up to eight DM room outputs and/or HDMI outputs in a single chassis, with expansion capability possible for up to 40 outputs using multiple DM-MD8X8 chassis.
  • Page 9 LAN connection. Its Gigabit Ethernet connection to the external LAN helps maximize bandwidth for each network port. Ethernet is also utilized internally by the Crestron control bus to manage all of the DM devices in the system and provide display control in each room.
  • Page 10 QuickSwitch HD Technology Crestron QuickSwitch HD technology minimizes the switching latency that plagues typical HDMI switchers. As the move to digital takes hold, more and more movie studios and television service providers are using HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) to protect their DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, and broadcast signals against unauthorized copying.
  • Page 11 DigitalMedia™ Switchers CEC Embedded Device Control The primary objective of every Crestron system is to enable precisely the control desired for a seamless user experience. DigitalMedia provides an alternative to conventional IR and RS-232 device control by harnessing the CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) signal embedded in HDMI.
