The DMC-CATO-HD is an output card designed for use with any card-based Crestron® DigitalMedia™ Switcher. It provides two independent DM® CAT outputs, plus one HDMI® output. The HDMI output carries the same signal as the first DM CAT output. Each DM CAT output enables connection to a DM CAT Receiver, a V-Panel™ touch screen display, or the input of another DM switcher, using DigitalMedia cable.All outputs on the DMC-CATO-HD are capable of handling video resolutions up to Full HD 1080p, as well as computer resolutions up to WUXGA. DM CAT transports uncompressed high-definition video and computer signals over distances of 50 to 450 feet (15 to 137 m) using Crestron DigitalMedia Cable and up to two DigitalMedia CAT Repeaters.Receivers connected to the DMC-CATO-HD are powered via DMNet® power, which is furnished by the DM switcher over the DMNet cable contained within the DigitalMedia cable. Each DMNet cable connects to a DMNet port located on the switcher’s rear panel.To configure a DM switcher complete with input and output cards, cables, and other peripherals, please use the online DigitalMedia Switcher Configuration Tool.Are you upgrading an existing DM switcher that has older “multi-gang” DMCO-series output cards? Use the online Output Card Additions and Upgrades Tool to update your existing output cards and switcher to the new “single-gang” output card format.Please refer to the DigitalMedia Resources Webpage at http://www.crestron.com/dmresources/ for additional design tools and reference documents.
