Crestron® DM® switchers provide the foundation for a complete DigitalMedia™ system, delivering an advanced 4K60 4:4:4 AV signal routing solution that is extremely flexible and installer friendly. The DM-MD16X16-CPU3 affords ultra fast switching and pure, lossless distribution of HDMI® and other signals to support all the digital media players, HDTV receivers, computers, cameras, and display devices that fill any modern home or commercial facility. A DigitalMedia system thoughtfully manages all of the disparate AV signals and devices to deliver a transparent user experience, and to ensure an optimum video image and audio signal at every location.

The DM-MD16X16-CPU3 is field configurable to handle up to 16 AV sources of virtually any type. The outputs are also field configurable to provide up to 16 DM, HDBaseT®, and/or HDMI outputs, or up to eight H.264 streaming outputs in a single chassis. A full selection of DM switcher input and output cards, DM transmitters, and DM receivers provides extensive connectivity throughout a residence or commercial facility, supporting a complete range of analog and digital signal types — all through one switcher! Based on the 3-Series® platform, the DM-MD16X16-CPU3 provides enterprise-grade security.

Integrated Ethernet networking and USB distribution provide a complete connectivity solution combined with built-in Crestron control for managing the displays and other room devices without necessitating any additional wiring. User-friendly operation, setup, and troubleshooting tools are provided through the DM-MD16X16-CPU3 front panel, or via Crestron Toolbox™ software, to make setting up a complete multiroom 4K video distribution system easy. A web browser interface is also provided.
