About the Crestron DGE-1000

The engine works with a third-party USB HID-compliant touch screen, or the Crestron TSD-2220 touch screen display, connected to its USB 2.0 and 3.0 host ports. Its HDMI output drives the display at up to 3840x2160 at 60 Hz (2160p60) with HDCP 2.2, EDID and CEC. The interface is built with Crestron HTML5 technology, and the unit also offers built-in web browsing and supports the Crestron Home and Crestron General Web apps.

For video, the HDMI input accepts sources up to 1920x1080 at 60 Hz with HDCP 1.4 and EDID, and is compatible with DVI and dual-mode DisplayPort signals. A streaming decoder handles H.264 and H.265 video with AAC stereo audio, and HDMI audio is 2 channel LPCM. Video can be shown full screen or in a dual-window layout. Interlaced video is not supported.

Onboard control ports include a 2-way RS-232 COM port up to 115.2k baud and an IR/serial port for 1-way display control, both operated via the control system, plus 100/1000 Mbps Ethernet. Power comes from PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at Class 4) or the PW-2412WU 24 VDC power pack, sold separately, with typical consumption of 14 W. The black metal chassis is 33 mm high, 188 mm wide and 166 mm deep, and can stand freely, be surface mounted or attach to a single rack rail.

How much is the Crestron DGE-1000?

Yes. 1Install is an authorised Crestron Elite Partner with offices in Skerries, Co. Dublin and Cork. We can supply the DGE-1000 on its own, or install, set up and programme it as part of your system. Installation visits are €440 for 4 hours or €880 for a full day, plus VAT and travel.

Does the DGE-1000 come with a warranty?

Is the DGE-1000 in stock?

We order Crestron for each quote, so availability depends on Crestron's stock at the time. We check it before we quote and put the expected delivery date on your quote, so you know where you stand before you pay.

Can I buy the DGE-1000 without installation?

Yes. We supply Crestron to end users, with or without installation. Like most Crestron devices of this type, it needs setting up or programming before it works in a system, and we can quote for that too.
