The DMPS3-4K-50 system provides the ideal solution for connecting local sources to a local display, while DMPS3-4K-100-C is designed to connect local sources to an expanded display, and DMPS3-4K-150-C for connecting remote sources to an expanded display.

All models in the series integrate Crestron's .AV Framework technology that offers, among other functions, automatic switching; Plug-and-play installation with Connect It junction boxes from this manufacturer; automatic screen activation/deactivation via CEC, and smart connectivity with the company's AirMedia presentation gateway for wireless BYOD capability.

Easy setup from touch screen or laptop

By using the .AV Framework from the touch screen or web-based tool, the user has the possibility of carrying out a complete and simple system configuration, such as choosing fonts and display control and automatically generating the touch screen interface to deliver an intuitive and consistent user experience in every room, no programming required.

To obtain a higher level of integration and management, Cresnet presence sensors and direct communication with Crestron Fusion are also managed using the .AV Framework without the need to write code.
