6 input sets, each includes the following
> HDTV component video
> Digital audio Coax / RCA
> Digital audio TOSLINK / Optical
> Analog audio R/L
2 independently controllable output sets, each includes the following
> HDTV component video
> Digital audio Coax / RCA
> Digital audio TOSLINK / Optical
> Analog audio R/L
Remote IR control with Zerokey code learning ability
RS-232 input for serial control
DC level correction on all video outputs
Professional quality video amps capable of driving cables up to 300'
Designed and tested to pass all video signals up to and including 1080p
Steel rack mountable case

Flexible control options

  CRM62 can be controlled by several methods, you can choose the one the best fits your home theater control scheme.
Manual control using the front panel buttons
IR control using a programmable remote. You can download the Pronto codes needed here
IR control using your standard remote. Zerokey can learn any remote keys to control CRM62
RS-232 control using Cinemar's custom designed plugin.

Each output is individually switch-able. You can configure CRM62 such that video and audio switch together (normal mode), or video and audio can be controlled separately (advanced mode).

DC level restoration

CRM62 contains an active DC level restoration circuit. The circuit will restore the DC levels on the output video to the proper specification levels regardless of what is present on the input. Why is this important?

Video distribution

CRM62 is the ideal amplifier for driving long video cables in your home. Many vendors claim their products can do this, but very few can accomplish this without distortion of the video. The most important amplifier design factors in driving long cables are source impedance matching, output connector quality, amplifier bandwidth, and amplifier current drive and slew rate. Our amplifier uses the best components for all these, resulting in the best signal distribution you can get. If you are interested in video distribution, please see our information page for more tips on optimizing your network for zero distortion.

ZeroKey technology

The CRM62 switch can be controlled manually by toggle button, by remote control, or RS-232. The remote control interface uses ZeroKey infrared code cloning to map any remote control key to each of the inputs & outputs.

ZeroKey technology is compatible with virtually all remote controls, and does not interfere with the normal operation of the remote. The best way to use this is to program the CRM62 with the same keys you normally push to switch your AV receiver or TV. The CRM62 will switch at the same time as your TV or receiver without the need for complicated macros or pushing extra buttons!

ZeroKey programming is stored in flash memory, and you will not need to reprogram even if you lose power. If you buy a new remote in the future, don't worry, the CRM62 can be reprogrammed as much as you like.
