Product Overview
Crestron offers the DM-MD8X8-CPU3-RPS 8x8 DigitalMedia™ Switcher with Redundant Power Supplies, a fully modular and expandable 8x8 DigitalMedia matrix switcher featuring redundant power supplies for mission critical applications.
The DM MD8X8 CPU3 RPS is based on the 3-Series® platform and offers ultra-fast digital video and audio switching and lossless HD multi-room signal distribution for all types of AV sources. It provides complete management of SD, HD, UHD, 2K, 4K60 4:4:4 HDR and computer signals with advanced HDCP support, EDID resolution management, CEC signal management, USB signal routing, integrated Ethernet switch, simultaneous 7.1 and stereo audio, H.264 streaming and a full range of selectable input and output types.
The DM MD8X8 CPU3 RPS delivers an advanced 4K60 4:4:4 AV signal routing solution to provide the foundation for a complete DigitalMedia™ system. The DM MD8X8 CPU3 RPS affords ultra-fast switching and lossless distribution of HDMI® and other signals to support digital media players, HDTV receivers, computers, cameras and display devices. The DM MD8X8 CPU3 RPS is an enhanced version of the DM MD8X8 CPU3 featuring two built in redundant power supplies.
The DM MD8X8 CPU3 RPS is configurable to handle up to AV sources. The outputs are configurable to provide up to eight DM, HDBaseT®, and/or HDMI outputs, or up to four H.264 streaming outputs, in a single chassis.1 Based on the 3 Series® platform, the DM MD8X8 CPU3 RPS provides enterprise grade security.
Integrated Ethernet networking and USB distribution provide a complete connectivity solution combined with built in Crestron® control2 for managing the displays and other room devices without any additional wiring.
