DMPS-300-C Combines Best of Analog and Digital Worlds to Deliver a Future-Proof High-Definition AV Presentation Solution for Boardrooms, Lecture Halls and Video Conferencing

Rockleigh, NJ, September 28, 2011 – Crestron today announced that its new DigitalMedia™ Presentation System 300, the next generation of the legendary MPS Multimedia Presentation System, is now shipping. DMPS-300-C immediately brings any presentation room into the digital age. DMPS-300-C takes in every source signal, processes, mixes and amplifies the audio, and transmits it all flawlessly over a single CAT5e wire. Providing everything needed to equip any classroom or conference room for the highest quality HD presentations, DMPS-300-C delivers a complete high-definition presentation control and signal routing solution that integrates a control processor, multimedia matrix switcher, mic mixer, audio DSP and amplifier with DigitalMedia 8G+™ technology, all into a single component.

"The DMPS-300 combines our popular MPS Multimedia Presentation System family of products with our high-output DigitalMedia 8G+ AV network technology to deliver the highest quality HD presentations, no matter what sources or displays you have," said Fred Bargetzi, Crestron VP of Technology. "As we lead the industry's transition from analog to digital, DMPS systems offer the only integrated solution that can handle both analog and digital AV, plus control."

With DigitalMedia 8G+™ single-wire technology built-in, DMPS-300 intelligently streamlines wiring for remote AV sources, computers and displays, enabling any mix of digital and analog signals to be carried long distance over standard CAT5e wire. Eliminating the need for numerous separate components, and leaving behind the installation and integration hassles that go along with them, DMPS-300-C provides a future-proof digital AV presentation solution for corporate, education, training and seminar settings.

Seamlessly transitioning any classroom, conference room or boardroom into the digital age without ripping out existing systems and starting from scratch, DMPS-300-C provides high-performance matrix switching of seven simultaneous analog or digital sources to up to four HDMI or DVI display devices, plus up to three analog audio components.

Integrated DM 8G+ inputs and outputs make connections to every room simple, providing a true one-wire interface for remote sources and display devices using your choice of standard CAT5e wire or premium DM 8G® Cable. Supporting wire lengths up to 330 feet (100 meters), DM 8G+ can also provide an ideal interface to a central DigitalMedia switcher as part of a larger multi-room or room-combining system.

In addition to flexible matrix switching, DMPS-300-C adds a built-in control processor, onboard gated microphone inputs with enhanced DSP, line and mic level mixing and DigitalMedia 8G+ connectivity to deliver the most complete, easy-to-use digital presentation system available. Whether in the classroom, boardroom or videoconference room, DMPS-300-C makes complex signal routing easy for any room full of AV and computer sources, microphones, display devices, speaker zones, touch screens and codecs.
