The Crestron® DM-TXRX-100-STR is a compact H.264 streaming encoder/decoder designed to enable the distribution of high-definition AV signals over an IP network. Configurable as either a transmitter or receiver, it provides a perfect complement to a DigitalMedia switcher with one or more streaming inputs or outputs, and can also be used to add streaming capability to other switchers and devices. By transporting all video, audio, control, and power signals through a single PoE LAN connection, the DM-TXRX-100-STR delivers the perfect solution for those applications where new or dedicated wiring cannot be installed.
H.264 Streaming
High-performance H.264 streaming capability enables enterprise-wide distribution of HD content over a wired or wireless IP network. Streaming expands the capabilities of a DigitalMedia system to remove all distance limitations and facilitate distribution to virtually any device - anywhere in the world. Streaming also allows for the utilization of existing network infrastructure to overcome situations where the installation of new or dedicated wiring may not be feasible.
The DM-TXRX-100-STR supports streaming input or output at resolutions up to HD 1080p and bitrates up to 25 Mbps. High-quality AAC audio compression is employed to handle 2-channel stereo audio with full frequency response. The encoded video and audio can be transmitted or received as independent RTP streams or encapsulated in an MPEG-TS (MPEG-2 Transport Stream) container. HDCP management ensures that protected content cannot be distributed via streaming.
Streaming via the DM-TXRX-100-STR provides many deployment options to address a wide range of streaming applications and to accommodate each organizations specific IT requirements. Both unicast and multicast streaming is supported, with or without RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol). Streaming connections can be configured to stream directly to one or more specific IP addresses, or to use RTSP to manage the configuration of numerous connections automatically.
In addition to H.264, the DM-TXRX-100-STR can also receive and decode MJPEG streaming video.
HD Streaming Transmitter
As a streaming transmitter, the DM-TXRX-100-STRcan be installed beneath a table, inside a lectern, or attached to a wall, allowing a laptop computer, camera, or other media source to be connected via HDMI® and streamed out over an Ethernet LAN, WAN, or Internet connection. The high-quality H.264 encoded signal can be routed to the streaming input of a DM® switcher or another DM-TXRX-100-STR, or it can be viewed on Crestron touch screens, digital signage displays, computers, mobile devices, and other compatible equipment. Password protection allows administrators to control who can view the streaming signal. Built-in scaling ensures trouble-free handling of sources with any resolution up to Full HD 1080p60, and allows for streaming at any resolution independent of the source resolution.
