DGE-1000

The Crestron® DGE-1000 digital graphics engine transforms an HD touch screen display into an advanced Crestron controller. The DGE-1000 features Crestron HTML5 technology that may be used to create a custom graphical environment for controlling audio, video, lighting, shades, HVAC, security, and other amenities. It is also used for functions with dual-window video display, and web browsing. Its low-profile, surface-mountable design allows for discreet installation behind a flat-panel display, under a table, or inside a lectern or equipment rack.

The DGE-1000 offers HDMI® output to connect a display device, and includes two USB HID port for touch screen, mouse, or keyboard input. Additional control ports are provided for controlling the display device and other equipment. The HDMI input allows an AirMedia® wireless presentation gateway or other high-definition video source to be connected and displayed on-screen. Additionally, H.264/H.265 and MJPEG streaming video signals can be received over a high-speed Ethernet connection, which also provides an interface to a Crestron control system.1

Touch Screen Interface

The DGE-1000 can be paired with the TSD-2220 HD touch screen display to deliver a high-definition 21.5 in. touch screen control panel that is ideal for home, corporate, and government applications. It is also compatible with third-party touch screen displays to support a range of control, collaboration, video display, and interactive kiosk solutions.

Crestron HTML5 Technology

Crestron HTML5 User Interface is a collection of design components used for creating a JavaScript™ programming library that is compatible with HTML5. This library allows web application developers to create UI projects that communicate to Crestron control systems instead of normal HTTP servers.

HD Streaming Video

The DGE-1000 supports high-definition streaming video, making it possible to view security cameras and other video sources over the network via the touch screen display. Native support for H.264, H.265 and MJPEG formats allows the DGE-1000 to display live streaming video from an IP camera, a streaming encoder (DM-TXRX-100-STR or similar), or a DigitalMedia™ switcher.1

HDMI Input

An HDMI input is provided for connecting and displaying an HD video source. Wireless presentation is also supported by connecting an AirMedia® gateway to the HDMI input, allowing for laptops and mobile devices to connect to the DGE-1000 over Wi-Fi® communications.2

HDCP Support

Support for HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) ensures seamless compatibility with content- protected optical disc, television, and streaming sources.

Web Browsing

Using its built-in Crestron General Web app or the web browser for custom projects, the DGE-1000 provides access to online program guides and other web-based services3

On-screen Keyboard

Typing in passwords, URLs, and text searches is facilitated using the on-screen multilanguage keyboard.

Built-in Annotation

Native to the DGE-1000, annotation provides the ability to capture ideas in real time, letting you draw and write over a video source. Remote annotation capability allows multiple participants, each with a separate touch screen, to annotate over the same video image for enhanced collaboration. Remote annotation is possible by using multiple DGE-1000’s and touch screens. Adding a dedicated DGE-1000 to the main display in a room allows the annotated session to be viewed by an entire audience.

Onboard Control Ports

The DGE-1000 provides built-in RS-232 and IR ports for programmable control of the connected display and other devices via a control system. When connected to a control system via Ethernet, the DGE-1000 offers a gateway for controlling the display device directly through its HDMI connection, which reduces the need for dedicated serial cables or IR emitters. Additional control capabilities are available by using CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) that is embedded within the HDMI signal.

Low-Profile Installation

The DGE-1000 mounts conveniently to a wall, ceiling, or other flat surface. Its compact, surface-mountable form factor fits easily behind a flat panel display, beneath a tabletop, or inside a lectern or other furniture. It can even be attached directly to a single rack rail in the back of an equipment cabinet. The DGE-1000 can be powered using the included wall mount power pack or via PoE (Power over Ethernet) for a true single-wire solution.

Crestron Home® OS Control

The DGE-1000 can be used to control a Crestron Home OS whole home solution via a connected TSD-2220 or third-party touch screen display. Use the connected display to control lighting, shades, climate, media, security, and cameras, including the ability to create and recall scenes that create a desired ambiance throughout a home. Additionally, the DGE-1000 supports streaming high-definition video to the connected display directly from the Crestron Home app.

Enterprise-Grade Security

The DGE-1000 employs enterprise-grade networking with robust security features such as 802.1X authentication, TLS encryption, HTTPS connectivity, and Active Directory® service integration. These features help to protect your network and to ensure compliance with your organization’s network policies. Cloud-based provisioning and management streamlines the process of configuring, monitoring, and updating each DGE-1000 on the network. Additional support for SNMP allows the DGE-1000 to be monitored by your IT administrator.

XiO Cloud® Service

The DGE-1000 is compatible with the XiO Cloud® service, which is an IoT (Internet of Things) based platform for remotely provisioning, monitoring, and managing Crestron devices across an enterprise or an entire client base. Built on the Microsoft® Azure® software platform and utilizing Microsoft's industry-leading Azure IoT Hub technology, XiO Cloud enables installers and IT managers to deploy and manage thousands of devices simultaneously. Unlike other virtual machine-based cloud solutions, Azure services provide unlimited scalability to suit the ever-growing needs of an enterprise.
