The DMC-CPU3 card is included with the DM-MD8X8-CPU3 , DM-MD16X16-CPU3 , and DM-MD32X32-CPU3 DigitalMedia™ switchers and related redundant power supply models (DM-MD8X8-CPU3-RPS , DM-MD16X16-CPU3-RPS , and DM-MD32X32-CPU3-RPS ). The DMC-CPU3 card can be purchased separately to provide a backup replacement or to upgrade the CPU card of previous DigitalMedia switcher models (DM-MD8X8, DM-MD16X16, DM-MD32X32, DM-MD8X8-RPS, DM-MD16X16-RPS, and DM-MD32X32-RPS). Replacement of a CPU card can be performed quickly on site without removing the switcher from the rack. When upgrading a switcher from a DMC-CPU card to the DMC-CPU3 card, configuration of IP settings is the only requirement for the switcher to become operational—no programming changes are required. The DMC-CPU3 card, which is based on the 3-Series® platform, provides enhanced features that are not available on the DMC-CPU card. Features include enterprise-grade security, a dedicated CONTENT LAN port for streaming, web browser control, and support of the Crestron XiO Cloud™ service.

Enterprise-Grade Security
The DMC-CPU3 card delivers enterprise-grade security. Advanced security features and protocols such as 802.1x authentication, Active Directory® credential management, SSL, TLS, SSH, SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol), and HTTPS are supported.

Built-In CONTENT LAN Port
The DMC-CPU3 card provides a CONTENT LAN port for streaming. Any streaming input or output may be configured to stream via the CONTENT LAN or control LAN port of the DMC-CPU3 card or via a dedicated CONTENT LAN port of a DMC Series input or output streaming card. Content and control can be combined on a single network or can be isolated onto separate networks.
