The Crestron® DM-DGE-200-C digital graphics engine transforms an HD or Ultra HD touch screen display into an advanced Crestron controller. The DM‑DGE‑200‑C features Smart Graphics® technology that may be used to create a custom graphical environment for controlling audio, video, lighting, shades, HVAC, security, and other amenities. The DM‑DGE‑200‑C can also be used for functions with dual-window video display, annotation, audio feedback, and web browsing. Its low‑profile, surface‑mountable design allows for a discreet installation behind a flat‑panel display, under a table, or inside a lectern or equipment rack.

The DM‑DGE‑200‑C features a 4K UHD capable HDMI® output for connecting to a display device, and includes a USB HID port for touch, mouse, or keyboard input. Additional control ports are provided for controlling the display device and other equipment.^1,2 The HDMI input allows an AirMedia® wireless presentation gateway or other high‑definition video source to be connected and displayed on-screen. The DM 8G+® input supports 4K UHD and DCI 4K sources connected at a DM® transmitter or switcher.³ Additionally, H.264 streaming video signals can be received over a high-speed Ethernet connection, and Ethernet provides an interface to a Crestron control system.⁴

NOTE: An Ethernet connection is required for touch screen and OSM control applications.

Touch Screen Interface
The DM‑DGE‑200‑C can be paired with the TSD‑2220 HD touch screen display to deliver a high‑definition 21.5 in. touch screen control panel that is ideal for home, corporate, and government applications. The DM‑DGE‑200‑C is also compatible with third‑party touch screen displays to support a range of control, collaboration, video display, and interactive kiosk solutions. The DM‑DGE‑200‑C supports either Full HD 1080p60 (1920x1080@60Hz) or 4K UHD (3840x2160@30Hz) display resolutions.

OSM Interface
On-screen menu (OSM) capability offers an alternative to touch screen control, providing a fully-customizable control menu on a television or video display. The control menu is easily navigated via a Crestron handheld remote or a USB mouse. The DM-DGE-200-C delivers high‑resolution menu graphics that pop up unobtrusively at the edge of the screen alongside the video source. Control functions such as adjusting lighting or lowering shades can be easily performed without interrupting a television program or video stream. Detailed alert messages can be configured to display on‑screen for events such as security alarms or a doorbell ring, and a live‑streaming camera window can be accessed to check security cameras.

Smart Graphics Technology
Smart Graphics® technology enables programmers to integrate fluid gesture‑driven controls, animated feedback, rich metadata, embedded apps and widgets, and full-motion video into their user interfaces. Smart Graphics provides dynamic features such as graphical buttons and sliders, lists and toolbars, drag‑and‑drop objects, dashboard widgets, screensavers, and customizable themes.¹

HD Streaming Video
The DM‑DGE‑200‑C supports high-definition streaming video, making it possible to view security cameras and other video sources over the network via the touch screen display. Native support for H.264 and MJPEG formats allows the DM‑DGE‑200‑C to display live streaming video from an IP camera, a streaming encoder (DM‑TXRX‑100‑STR or similar), or a DigitalMedia™ switcher.⁴

4K DM 8G+ Input
Via its DM 8G+® input, the DM‑DGE‑200‑C is able to display video sources with resolutions up to Ultra HD and DCI 4K. Connectivity for these video sources can be provided through a DM 8G+ transmitter or a DM® switcher.^3,5,8,9

HDMI Input
An HDMI® input is provided for connecting and displaying an HD video source. Wireless presentation is also supported by connecting an AirMedia® gateway to the HDMI input, allowing for laptops and mobile devices to connect to the DM‑DGE‑200‑C over Wi‑Fi® communications.

NOTE: The maximum resolution supported by the HDMI input is 1080p60 (1920x1080@60Hz).^9,10

HDCP 2.2 Support
Support for HDCP 2.2 (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) ensures seamless compatibility with content-protected optical disc, television, and streaming sources.

NOTE: HDCP 2.2 is supported through the DM 8G+ input and HDMI output, while the HDMI input supports HDCP 1.4 only.

Web Browsing

On-screen Keyboard
Typing in passwords, URLs, and text searches is facilitated using the on‑screen multilanguage keyboard.

Built-in Annotation
Annotation helps to add another dimension to any presentation. Native to the DM‑DGE‑200‑C, annotation provides the ability to capture ideas in real time, letting you draw and write over a video source or sketch out thoughts on a whiteboard screen.

Remote annotation capability allows multiple participants, each with a separate touch screen, to annotate over the same video image or whiteboard for enhanced collaboration. Remote annotation is possible by using multiple digital graphics engines and touch screens. Adding a dedicated DM‑DGE‑200‑C to the main display in a room allows the annotated session to be viewed by an entire audience.

Onboard Control Ports
The DM‑DGE‑200‑C provides built-in RS-232 and IR ports for programmable control of the connected display and other devices via a control system. When connected to a control system via Ethernet, the DM‑DGE‑200‑C offers a gateway for controlling the display device directly through its HDMI connection, which reduces the need for any dedicated serial cables or IR emitters. Additional control capabilities are available by using CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) that is embedded within the HDMI signal.^1,2

Low-Profile Installation
The DM‑DGE‑200‑C mounts conveniently to a wall, ceiling, or other flat surface. Its compact, surface‑mountable form factor fits easily behind a flat panel display, beneath a tabletop, or inside a lectern or other furniture. It can even be attached directly to a single rack rail in the back of an equipment cabinet.

Enterprise Grade Security
The DM‑DGE‑200‑C employs enterprise-grade networking with robust security features such as 802.1X authentication, TLS encryption, HTTPS connectivity, and Active Directory® service integration. These features help to protect your network and to ensure compliance with your organization’s network policies. Cloud‑based provisioning and management streamlines the process of configuring, monitoring, and updating each DM‑DGE‑200‑C on the network. Additional support for SNMP allows the DM‑DGE‑200‑C to be monitored by your IT administrator.
