The Crestron® DM-RMC-100-STR is a compact H.264 streaming decoder designed to receive high-definition AV signals over an IP network. It provides a perfect complement to any DigitalMedia™ switcher with a streaming output, and can also be used to add streaming input capability to other switchers and devices. By transporting all video, audio, control, and power signals through a single PoE LAN connection, the DM-RMC-100-STR delivers the perfect solution for applications where new or dedicated wiring cannot be installed. Its low-profile, surface-mountable design enables a discreet installation behind a flat-panel display, above a ceiling mounted projector, on an AV cart, or inside an equipment rack.
H.264 Streaming
High-performance H.264 streaming capability enables enterprise-wide distribution of HD content over a wired or wireless IP network. Streaming expands the capabilities of a DigitalMedia system to remove all distance limitations and facilitate high-definition AV signal routing from sources anywhere in the world. Streaming also allows for the utilization of existing network infrastructure to overcome situations where the installation of new or dedicated wiring may not be feasible.
The DM-RMC-100-STR decodes the streaming signal from a DM switcher, IP camera, or other streaming source, and outputs it as HDMI to feed the input of a display device, AV receiver, or switcher. Streaming signals with resolutions up to HD 1080p60 and bitrates up to 25 Mbps are supported. High-quality AAC audio decoding provides support for 2-channel stereo audio with full frequency response. The encoded video and audio can be received as an independent RTP stream or encapsulated in an MPEG-TS (MPEG-2 Transport Stream) container. HDCP management ensures that protected content cannot be distributed via streaming.
In addition to H.264 and AAC, the DM-RMC-100-STR can also decode MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video, and MP3, MP2, or WAV stereo audio formats. Dolby Digital®5.1 encoded audio can be passed through undecoded.
Audio Extracting
The DM-RMC-100-STR includes a balanced analog audio output, allowing stereo audio signals to be extracted from the streaming input and fed to an amplifier, sound bar, or a pair of amplified speakers. The output volume, bass, and treble are adjustable via a control system using a keypad, touch screen, handheld remote, or mobile device.
