The AMX DCE-1 In-Line Controller is a versatile device that amalgamates several crucial functionalities including CEC control, EDID emulation, and audio extraction into one cost-effective unit. Designed to enhance the integration process in various AV setups, the DCE-1 is equipped to handle high-resolution video and audio tasks seamlessly.

Key Features

Video Emulation and EDID Management

The DCE-1 offers robust EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) emulation, supporting resolutions up to 4096 x 2160 at 60Hz with 4:4:4 color sampling, ensuring compatibility with 4K displays and source devices. It also supports HDCP 2.2, ensuring secure content transmission. This device allows integrators to either copy the EDID from the output display or choose from 15 preprogrammed EDIDs. By providing a fixed EDID to the source device, the DCE-1 ensures that the source consistently outputs video at the correct resolution for the display, preventing common handshake issues that can occur during setup.

Audio Extraction and De-embedding

Audio management is another significant feature of the DCE-1. It offers audio de-embedding capabilities, allowing users to extract audio from the HDMI signal. The device provides both digital SPDIF and analog line-out options, catering to various audio setups and requirements. This flexibility ensures that high-quality audio can be routed to separate audio systems, enhancing the overall AV experience.

Control Capabilities

The DCE-1 simplifies display control through its CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) and RS232 functionalities. It can turn displays on and off automatically when a source device is connected or disconnected. This feature is particularly useful in environments where automated control is essential, such as in conference rooms or digital signage applications.

Common Applications

The AMX DCE-1 is ideal for a wide range of applications that require in-line EDID emulation, audio extraction, or straightforward display control:

  1. Corporate AV Installations: In conference rooms and meeting spaces, the DCE-1 ensures that presentations and video conferences are displayed in the correct resolution without any handshake issues. Its audio extraction capabilities allow audio to be routed to the room’s sound system, ensuring clear and high-quality sound.
  2. Educational Environments: In classrooms and lecture halls, the DCE-1 facilitates the seamless integration of various AV equipment, ensuring that video content from laptops or other devices is displayed correctly and that audio is extracted and amplified appropriately.
  3. Digital Signage: For digital signage applications, the DCE-1 ensures that displays receive the correct video signal consistently, avoiding issues that could disrupt the display of advertisements or information. The device’s ability to control the power state of the display based on the source device status is also beneficial for energy savings and reducing wear and tear on the displays.
