So I finally receive the DMCO-13's this afternoon and started installing the DM system.
Here is a pic of one of the DMCO-13's.
There are2 Fiber outputs and 2 HDMI outputs on each card. The fiber outs will be going to the DM-RMC-100-F's and the HDMI outputs, for audio, will be going to the corresponding rooms receiver (Each room has it's own receiver). You also see 2 channel audio break out but I will not be using those. Note all equipment is centrally located in a rack so the HDMI runs to the receiver are 3ft. at the longest.
Here is a quick summary of the Crestron system I have installed. Once I have the DM system completely installed I will post details of my system including lighting, shades and HVAC, including pics and network information.

Here is a pic that I took today showing the DM-RMC-100-F installed. Right now I have the entire living room running on the DM system. Tomorrow I will have the rest of the house completed.
Here you see the
DM-RMC-100-F attached to the wall along with the the fiber cable connecting to it (D & M) and power (G & 24). The DM 8x8 sends the following to each DM-RMC-100-F, one is located at every display in our house, over a single pair of, 2 strand, fiber.
1) Uncompressed HDMI 1.3 video with support for Deep Color
2) Uncompressed Multi-channel Audio (Dolby® TrueHD 7.1, Dolby Digital Plus 7.1, Dolby Digital AC3 5.1, Dolby Digital EX 5.1, DTS-HD Master Audio™ 7.1, DTS-HD High Res 7.1, DTS 5.1, DTS-ES Matrix 5.1, DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, DTS 96/24 5.1, up to 8ch PCM)
3) Ethernet (10/100)
4) RS-232 (1 Port)
5) IR (2 Ports)
6) USB (1 Port)
7) Relay (2 Ports)
8) Digital/Contact
9) Ability to embed CEC commands directly within the HDMI Channel and send to any display
10) IP Phone System - Not only that I am able to run 1-9 above, but also our entire phone system over the same fiber cable that the DM system uses.
As for the DM8x8 here is a pic of it before all the cards were installed. As you can see 2 HDMI cards are missing as well as both the output cards, the DMCO-13's
Once I have the entire house completed I will post complete details.
Thats all for now.
