ROCKLEIGH, NJ—Crestron is providing
a design, installation, and
commissioning specification to
guarantee reliable performance of
digital AV systems with its new HD
Digital Transport and Distribution
System Specification (HD-DTDS)
and DigitalMedia Certification
(DMC) program. Crestron has said
the HD-DTDS will help establish
an industry standard, and the
DMC program ensures that AV
professionals are fully educated and
adhere to that standard. The intent
for the new specification and certification
is also to provide clients
the confidence that the AV industry
remains a trusted and valued technology
resource.
HD-DTDS is a comprehensive
roadmap that defines the critical
aspects of system design and installation
that must be followed to
assure reliable system performance.
There are two levels of DMC certification.
The DMC-D track is a free
one-day course that concludes with
an exam that must be passed to
earn certification, and is the prerequisite
for DMC-E. A DM-certified
designer understands the fundamental
differences between analog
and digital systems and the unique
design considerations needed to
ensure reliable operation. DMC-E
continues for two more days, building
upon the DMC-D class. This
rigorous three-day program details
every aspect of system installation
and commissioning. DM-certified
engineers demonstrate proficiency
in system setup, diagnostics, testing,
and reporting. Only a DMC-E
is equipped to fully execute and
support a DM project.
