The receiver outputs progressive resolutions ranging from 640 x 480 at 60 Hz to 1,920 x 1,200 at 60 Hz and interlaced resolutions ranging from 720 x 480 at 30 Hz to 1,920 x 1,080 at 30 Hz.

For connecting audio signals to external speakers, the receiver offers a 30 watt amplifier, multiple analog audio outputs, and a digital to analog conversion rate of 24-bit, 48 kHz.

The DM-RMC-200-C ships with wired LAN capabilities and the ability to control AV devices through multiple IR connections, RS-232, and the CEC control standard.

Other features include content adaptive noise reduction, EDID compatibility, KVM extension, and a zoom capability that enables support for video walls composed of a maximum of 16 displays.

Ports include two relay control ports; dual two-pin, 3.5 mm DIG in ports; HDMI out; two IR outputs; USB HID; RS-232; RCA audio out; four 5 mm audio out ports; and RJ-45.

The DM-RMC-200-C is currently available.
