DigitalMedia 8G+
DigitalMedia 8G+ provides a true one-wire transport for moving high-definition
video, audio, and Ethernet over low-cost twisted pair cable without compression or
repeaters. Just one eight-conductor twisted pair cable is required, supporting
distances up to 330 feet (100 meters) using Crestron DM 8G cable or CAT5e.1
DigitalMedia thoughtfully manages all of the various AV signals and devices in your
system, matching each source's output to the capabilities of the selected display(s).
Every signal is preserved in its native video resolution and audio format, ensuring a
pure, lossless signal path throughout.
Multimedia Computer/AV Interface
The DM-TX-200-C-2G provides simple switching between two inputs. Its HDMI
input supports HD 1080p60 video and WUXGA computer signals with HDCP and
multichannel lossless audio. The HDMI input can also handle DVI and DisplayPort
Multimode signals using an appropriate adapter or dongle2. The RGB input handles
all analog RGB and VGA signals up to WUXGA 1920 x 1200 pixels, as well as
analog video up to 1080p603. A mini-TRS stereo audio input is also provided to
accept analog audio signals from an unbalanced line level or headphone output.
A single cable connects the DM-TX-200-C-2G to a DM switcher or receiver,
transporting video, audio, control, networking, and power signals all through one
simple RJ-45 connection1, 4. Used with a single DM 8G+ receiver/room controller
and optional Crestron control system, the DM-TX-200-C-2G affords a simple
solution for extending a multimedia computer or AV signal to a single display up to
330 feet (100 meters) away1. As part of a larger system using a DM switcher,
multiple DM-TX-200-C-2Gs may be installed to enable the distribution of several
sources at different locations to feed multiple displays throughout any room or larger
facility.
1. For DM 8G+ wiring up to 330 feet (100 meters) between devices, use Crestron DM-CBL-8G
DigitalMedia 8G cable, Crestron DM-CBL DigitalMedia cable, Crestron DM-CBL-D DigitalMedia D
cable, or generic CAT5e (or better) UTP or STP. Shielded cable and connectors are recommended to
safeguard against unpredictable environmental electrical noise which may impact performance at
resolutions above 1080p. Refer to the latest version of the Crestron DigitalMedia Infrastructure Guide
(Doc. 4556) for complete wiring guidelines and to the Crestron DigitalMedia Design Guide (Doc.

Crestron DM-TX-200-C-2G DigitalMedia 8G+™ Transmitter 200
Keyboard/Mouse Extender
The DM-TX-200-C-2G functions as a keyboard/mouse extender, allowing a USB
HID-compliant keyboard and/or mouse at the wall plate location to control a
computer or other host device located at the central equipment rack or some other
location.
EDID Format Management
The DM-TX-200-C-2G 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 and managed through the
DM-TX-200-C-2G, ensuring reliable operation by instructing sources to output only
the resolutions and formats that can be handled by the displays and system wiring.
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. Through its connection to the
control system, the DM-TX-200-C-2G provides a gateway for controlling the
connected source device through the HDMI connection, potentially eliminating the
need for any dedicated control wires or IR probes. Through proper CEC signal
management, DigitalMedia allows you to take control of each device in the system
as you like.
Simple Electrical Box Mounting
The DM-TX-200-C-2G is designed to fit a 2-gang electrical box or plaster ring (each
not included). It also fits a 2-gang opening in a typical 6 inch (153 mm) deep floor
box (not included). A DM cable connects to the rear of the transmitter via a shielded
RJ-45 DM port. The unit can be powered using the included wall mount power pack
or via Power over DM (PoDM) for a true one-wire solution.* An array of indicators
on the front of the DM-TX-200-C-2G provides for easy setup and troubleshooting.
Advanced configuration is enabled through Crestron Toolbox software.
* PoDM requires connection to a DM 8G+ PoDM power sourcing device.

Setup
Network Wiring
When wiring the DM network, consider the following:
•Use Crestron Certified Wire.
•Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
CAUTION: Failure to use Crestron power supplies could cause equipment
damage or void the Crestron warranty.
•Provide sufficient power to the system.
•For DM 8G+ wiring up to 330 feet (100 meters) between devices, use
Crestron DM-CBL-8G DigitalMedia 8G cable, Crestron DM-CBL
DigitalMedia cable, Crestron DM-CBL-D DigitalMedia D cable, or generic
CAT5e (or better) UTP or STP. Shielded cable and connectors are
recommended to safeguard against unpredictable environmental electrical
noise which may impact performance at resolutions above 1080p. Refer to
the latest version of the Crestron DigitalMedia Infrastructure Guide
(Doc. 4556) for complete wiring guidelines and to the Crestron
DigitalMedia Design Guide (Doc. 4789) for complete system design
guidelines.
The DM-TX-200-C-2G also uses high-speed Ethernet for communications between
the device and a control system, computer, media server, and other IP-based devices.
For information specifically related to Ethernet connectivity using DigitalMedia
devices, refer to the latest version of the Crestron IP Considerations Guide for the IT
Professional (Doc. 4579), which is available from the Crestron Web site
(www.crestron.com/dmresources).
Identity Code
NOTE: In the SIMPL Windows program, the IP ID of the DM-TX-200-C-2G is
assigned automatically and does not require additional programming when the
DM-TX-200-C-2G is dropped onto an input card of a DM switcher. Use the
information below when a DM-TX-200-C-2G is dropped directly into an Ethernet
slot on the control system in SIMPL Windows without a DM switcher.
The IP ID is set within the IP table of the DM-TX-200-C-2G using Crestron
Toolbox. For information on setting an IP table, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help
file. The IP IDs of multiple DM-TX-200-C-2Gs in the same system must be unique.
When setting the IP ID, consider the following:
•The IP ID of each unit must match an IP ID specified in the SIMPL
Windows program.
•Each device using IP to communicate with a control system must have a
unique IP ID.
