DMPS3-4K-350-C and the "Content LAN" Connection for AirMedia
|
Hi All those who do Commercial board rooms, etc...
I'm just looking for what people are spec'ing these days... Is using the 350 with the older AirMedia technology that's built-in (thru an AP and the content LAN) still something that is reasonable to use for new installations? Or is it really better to spec the newer AM tech as an add'l device within a design?? Looking for others' opinions on this, Thanks!! |

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI spec the AM-3000WF over the software version every time. For the cost of adding the AirMedia software license to the DMPS you almost have the cost of a AM-3000-WF and with the AM3000 you get the full AirMedia experience vs the striped down version in the the DMPS software version. If you are worried about losing an HDMI connection on the DMPS then spec the AM-3200 and use the onboard HDMI input to gain back an HDMI input.??Cheers!?

Thanks Kevin,
That makes sense. The only think that I see as a downside with the 3200 is that the HDMI input is only v1.4 and can only do 1080p-ish video... Also, in looking at SMW integration, I see this note about the 'VideoOut' analog input of the Display Switching Slot for switching between the HDMI IN input and AirMedia function:
If Canvas is needed, can you enable the Canvas and set the VideoOut to '0' and then when Canvas is not used, go back to using a '1' or '2' for the VideoOut normal switching?? Or do you need to Not attach a signal to VideoOut if you even want to use the Canvas feature?? TIA! |

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýOn our installs we don¡¯t use AirMedias on the AV Lan it is on the customers enterprise network. We have canvas enabled and set the auto switching on which is also the default.?True on lack of 4k on the HDMI input. Still Imo it¡¯s better to sell a AM 3000 than the software version.?

While it's not currently listed as such, within the last 30 days, I could SWEAR that the DMPS3-4K-350-C was listed as discontinued on Crestron's website or portal (can't remember which I was on)(yes the 3-Series 4K version). I could certainly be wrong, but I do seem to remember asking a coworker if he had seen any formal explicit correspondence about it (such as an e-mail blast), to which he hadn't.
I'd be a little nervous specifying a current DMPS into new projects, especially if a major change is coming to the DMPS line up, say, in the coming weeks, though this is nothing more than rumblings and speculation. The vibe I get from Crestron is they want to sell the poorly designed and overpriced HD-PS stuff as a replacement to a DMPS. Much preferred the older "receiving" form factor over the current "transmitting" form factor, though if many of your inputs are at the table, it'll probably fit into the workflow just fine. |
