Crestron® CPU Blade

Provides a backup replacement CPU blade for a DM-MD64X64 DigitalMedia™ Switcher. Offers an upgrade to previous model DMB-CPU-64 to enable video preview monitoring of 4K sources, a dedicated Dante® audio networking port, faster boot times, and overall improved performance.

A DMB-4K-CPU-64 CPU blade is included with every DM-MD64X64 DigitalMedia™ Switcher. It may also be purchased separately to provide a backup replacement or as an upgrade to an older CPU blade. Replacement of the CPU blade can be performed on site without requiring any tools and without removing the switcher from the equipment rack. Replacement takes just seconds, although a system reboot may be required to activate the new CPU.

The DMB-4K-CPU-64 features several enhancements over its predecessor, model DMB-CPU-64 . Enhancements include support for video preview monitoring of 4K and Ultra HD sources on the switcher’s front panel touch screen, a dedicated Dante® audio network port, a USB service port, and a more powerful processor for faster boot times, improved touch screen and web UI response, and increased throughput for endpoint control signals. No programming changes are required when upgrading from an older CPU blade.

The DMB-4K-CPU-64 includes an analog line-level audio output, which can be used to feed an external stereo amplifier and speakers for local audio monitoring. Built-in surround sound decoding and downmixing allows multichannel audio sources to be monitored. Volume and mute controls for this output are provided via the switcher’s front panel touch screen or a web browser.
