About the Crestron DMF-CI-8
Any DM-NVX-C or DMCF series card can go in any of the eight slots. DM NVX cards such as the DM-NVX-384C and DM-NVX-385C each occupy one slot, and the DM-NVX-363C can have its encoder or decoder mode changed from the chassis front panel. Cards are hot-swappable, so one can be serviced without powering down the whole frame.
The front panel has a 2 inch colour LCD and status indicators, and it is used for network setup of each card. Cooling is by variable-speed fans, and a universal 100 to 240 V internal power supply powers the frame. The chassis takes two spaces in a standard 19-inch rack, giving a high-density, multi-endpoint 4K video solution.

Questions about the Crestron DMF-CI-8
What is the Crestron DMF-CI-8?
It is a DigitalMedia card chassis with eight slots for Crestron DM-NVX-C and DMCF series cards. The 2-space 19-inch rack-mountable frame gives a high-density way to extend multiple 4K video signals over Gigabit Ethernet, fibre optic cable or both from one location.
Which cards fit the DMF-CI-8?
It is designed for DM-NVX-C and DMCF series cards, and any of these cards can be installed in any slot. Card format DM NVX models such as the DM-NVX-384C and DM-NVX-385C each occupy one slot, and the DM-NVX-363C can have its operating mode changed from the DMF-CI-8 front panel.
Can cards be changed while the DMF-CI-8 is running?
Crestron lists hot-swappable card serviceability as a feature of the DMF-CI-8, so cards can be serviced within the chassis without taking the whole frame out of use. Each card's network settings can then be set up through the front panel.
What does the front panel do?
The front panel has a 2 inch colour LCD display and status indicators. It is used for network setup of each installed card, and with the DM-NVX-363C card it can also be used to change the card's operating mode between encoder and decoder.
How is the DMF-CI-8 powered and mounted?
It has a universal 100 to 240 V internal power supply and variable-speed fan cooling. The chassis is 2-space and mounts in a standard 19-inch rack, where it holds up to eight DM-NVX-C or DMCF series cards.
How much is the Crestron DMF-CI-8?
Crestron asks its dealers to give the price of the DMF-CI-8 directly rather than publish it online. Add it to your quote list and we will send you a written quote, with delivery, and installation and programming if you need them.
Can 1Install supply, install and programme the DMF-CI-8?
Yes. 1Install is an authorised Crestron Elite Partner with offices in Skerries, Co. Dublin and Cork. We can supply the DMF-CI-8 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 DMF-CI-8 come with a warranty?
Yes. Everything we supply is new, genuine Crestron with Crestron's standard warranty. If the DMF-CI-8 develops a fault, contact us and we will handle the claim with Crestron. If we installed it, our workmanship is guaranteed for the lifetime of the system.
Is the DMF-CI-8 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 DMF-CI-8 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.
