Crestron DM-DGE-200-C Digital Graphics Engine 200 with 4K DM 8G+® Input

Product Overview

The Crestron DM-DGE-200-C Digital Graphics Engine transforms an HD or Ultra HD touch screen display into an advanced Crestron controller. It pairs Smart Graphics technology with a 4K UHD HDMI output and a DM 8G+ input, letting integrators build custom control environments on a large-format touch display. Its low-profile chassis mounts discreetly behind a flat panel, under a table, or inside a lectern or rack. The DM-DGE-200-C is designed for environments that need a rich graphical interface combined with native Crestron device control.

Product Description

The DM-DGE-200-C drives a connected touch screen display with Crestron Smart Graphics technology, supporting custom graphical interfaces for audio, video, lighting, shades, HVAC, security, and other amenities. It outputs up to 4K UHD (3840x2160 at 30 Hz) or Full HD 1080p60 over HDMI and accepts a USB HID connection for touch, mouse, or keyboard input, including the Crestron TSD-2220 touch screen display. A DM 8G+ input lets it receive high-resolution video over CATx from a DigitalMedia switcher, while a separate HDMI input accepts a local source. The engine includes a streaming decoder for H.264 and MJPEG video, enabling display of live feeds from IP cameras, streaming encoders, or DM switchers, and it supports scalable dual streaming video windowing. Built-in RS-232 and IR/serial ports provide programmable control of the display and other devices through a Crestron control system. The DM-DGE-200-C connects to the network over 100 Mbps Ethernet with enterprise security and XiO Cloud support. It does not support PoE or PoDM and must be powered by the included PW-2420RU power pack.
