DM Lite™ HD(I)-MD Auto-Switchers
and Extenders
Introduction
Crestron® DM Lite™ HD(I)-MD auto-switchers and extenders, hereinafter referred to
simply as
switchers , are designed for basic point-to-point and small auto-switching
applications. Using CAT5e or higher cable, the switchers can extend 1080p signals up to
230 feet (70 meters). Consisting of a transmitter and receiver, the switchers
automatically scale input signals to match the native resolution of the display device.
The built-web interface of the switchers allows simplified configuration. Advanced
functionality is enabled through integration with a Crestron control system.
This guide provides information about the following:
