Crestron DigitalMedia™ Wall Plate Transmitter Now Shipping

Online, April 28, 2010 (Newswire.com) - ROCKLEIGH, NJ - Crestron today announced the release of the DM-TX-400-3G wall plate transmitter, which ensures simple and convenient connectivity for computers, laptops and the latest digital sources such as MacBooks® and Blu-ray players. The DM-TX-400-3G provides a full assortment of HDMI, VGA and analog AV inputs. All signals are digitally transmitted digitally up to 450 feet over DigitalMedia™ (DM) cable. A DM-TX-400-3G installs anywhere in the room for easy access, and can be wall, lectern or floor-mounted using a standard triple-gang box.

"DM wall plates give you remote input connectivity for virtually any AV source," explains Vincent Bruno, Crestron Director of Marketing. "They are the perfect solution for integrating digital and analog sources via a single cable." A USB HID device port allows a mouse/keyboard to control a computer or other host device in another part of the room or a central equipment rack.

DM provides a seamless upgrade path from analog to digital without replacing installed equipment. The Crestron MPS, for example, is engineered to transmit all analog signals from the MPS to the DM-TX-400-3G over one VGA cable. A single DM cable connects the transmitter to a DM matrix switcher or room controller, which sends HDMI to the display.

Crestron DigitalMedia is the only complete, integrated solution for the digital age, accepting all analog audio and video, high-res computer, HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort, Ethernet and USB keyboard / mouse control and distributing them over a single copper wire or fiber.
