Crestron Ships Latest DigitalMedia™ Wall Plate Transmitter

Online, May 6, 2010 (Newswire.com) - ROCKLEIGH, NJ- Crestron today announced the release of the DM-TX-200-2G 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-200-2G enables switching between one HDMI and one RGB input. The HDMI input supports HDMI

with HDCP; WUXGA computer resolutions, and 1080p60 HDTV with multi-channel lossless audio. All signals are digitally

transmitted up to 450 feet over DigitalMedia™ (DM) cable. A DM-TX-200-2G installs anywhere in the room for easy access,

and can be wall, lectern or floor-mounted using a standard double-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-200-2G 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
