Crestron DMC-4KZ-C-DSP DigitalMedia 8G+ 4K60 4:4:4 HDR Input Card (Limited Supply)

Limited Supply, End-of-Sale Date: June 30, 2025

Crestron offers the DMC-4KZ-C-DSP, a DigitalMedia 8G+® 4K60 4:4:4 HDR Input Card, with downmixing for DM® switchers, which is also HDBaseT® Compatible.

The unit provides a single DM 8G+® or HDBaseT® input for any DigitalMedia™ Switcher with modular input card slots. It handles 4K60 4:4:4 and HDR video signals. The device Includes stereo downmixing of multichannel input signals to enable simultaneous distribution of multichannel and 2-channel audio.

The DMC-4KZ-C-DSP is an input card designed for use with any card-based Crestron® DigitalMedia™ Switcher. It provides one DM 8G+® input, with complementary HDMI® pass-through and analog audio outputs. Using a single CAT type twisted pair cable, the DM 8G+ input enables the connection of a DM 8G+ transmitter, the output of another DM® switcher or an HDBaseT® certified source.[1]

The DMC-4KZ-C-DSP provides all of the features of the DMC-4KZ-C with the addition of downmixing to enable the simultaneous distribution of multichannel 7.1 surround sound and 2-channel stereo signals. It is recommended for use with surround sound sources to allow the original multichannel signal to be distributed to rooms with surround sound systems, while simultaneously distributing a 2-channel downmix signal to stereo-only rooms and devices.
