Crestron recently announced it is shipping its new DigitalMedia™ DM-DGE-200-C, a
powerful, compact, low-cost, and highly versatile simple meeting room solution for
multiple applications. It offers auto-switching between HDMI® and 4K/60 DM®
input, auto-display on/off, and H.264 decoding, IR control, and direct connectivity to
Microsoft® Exchange and Crestron Fusion Cloud via the LAN port for powerful room
scheduling and data collection. Of course, the DM-DGE-200-C features a built-in
graphics engine to generate custom welcome screens and messaging, and to
provide Crestron control graphics and web browsing for the Crestron TSD-2020 20′
touch display, or for a third-party large-format touch display.
The DM-DGE-200-C generates beautiful branded welcome screens including custom
graphics, logo, and simple connectivity instructions. Using the motion detector in a
USB camera, such as the Crestron CCS-CAM-USB-F-100-SHROUD, automatically
turns on the room display when the first person enters the room, immediately
greeting attendees with a professional onscreen display and intuitive directions to
start the meeting quickly and easily.
Use the web-based setup tool built into the DM-DGE-200-C to connect directly to
Microsoft® Exchange to show the room’s availability on the room display, or
detailed meeting information, including the organizer’s name, subject of the
meeting, start time, and the duration of the meeting. During the meeting, the room
calendar information, including a countdown clock to show the time remaining, can
be displayed over the presentation video.
The DM-DGE-200-C also connects directly to Crestron Fusion® Cloud enterprise
management service using the web-based setup tool. In addition to displaying the
room calendar, it enables managers to collect device and room usage data so they
can make informed, intelligent decisions to improve workflow. (Collection of room
usage data requires in-room motion detection via USB camera.)
With the DM-DGE-200-C synced to Crestron Fusion Cloud for calendaring, knowledge
workers can use the Crestron PinPoint™ app to locate and book rooms right on their
phones. If a Crestron AirMedia®
Presentation Gateway (AM-101) is connected to the DM-DGE-200-C, the app will
auto-discover the gateway and instantly connect when they enter the room,
providing one-touch wireless presentation capability.
Adding a control system, such as the Crestron RMC3, and touch screen, such as the
Crestron TSW-752, enables active switching between HDMI®, 4K/60 DM®, and
H.264 video sources. The DM-DGE-200-C decodes network AV through its LAN port.
Any source signal is transmitted as scaled 4K HDMI to the room display.
The DM-DGE-200-C gives integrators a versatile, compact, powerful, and easy to
deploy device for a multitude of simple room applications. Visit the DM-DGE-200-C product page
