Crestron DM-TX-4KZ-100-C-1G-B-T – DM 8G+ 4K60 4:4:4 HDR Wall Plate Transmitter, Black

Product Overview

The Crestron DM-TX-4KZ-100-C-1G-B-T is a single-gang DigitalMedia 8G+® wall plate transmitter delivering 4K60 4:4:4 HDR video over a single CAT5e or Cat6 cable to any DM-compatible switcher or receiver. Built for commercial AV deployments where black wall plate finishes are specified, it provides an HDMI input with built-in IR and RS-232 control ports in a 1-gang form factor. Using Crestron DM 4KZ technology with VESA Display Stream Compression (DSC), the device handles 4K60 4:4:4 and HDR signals that would otherwise exceed standard cable bandwidth. It is also HDBaseT compatible, allowing direct connection to third-party HDBaseT receivers without requiring a Crestron DM receiver.

Product Description

The DM-TX-4KZ-100-C-1G-B-T serves as the presenter connection point in Crestron DigitalMedia systems, consolidating HDMI video, audio, control, and power over one RJ-45 connection. DM 4KZ technology uses VESA Display Stream Compression (DSC) — a lightweight, line-based 2:1 standard — to deliver visually lossless 4K60 4:4:4 performance. Standard 4K30 4:4:4 and lower signals pass through fully uncompressed. Compatible with DM 8G+, DM Ultra, and third-party CAT5e or Cat6 cable, the transmitter reaches up to 330 ft (100 m) for 4K UHD using DM Ultra cable, and up to 165 ft (50 m) using standard CAT5e for 4K signals.

The HDMI input supports HDCP 2.2, Deep Color, 3D, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, DTS HD Master Audio, and uncompressed 7.1 LPCM audio. Built-in IR and RS-232 ports enable programmable source device control through a Crestron control system, with CEC pass-through supported. Power is delivered via the DM connection (PoDM / HDBaseT PoE, IEEE 802.3at Type 1 Class 3), eliminating the need for a local outlet at the wall plate position. An optional PW-2407WUL 24 VDC power pack is available for installations without a PoDM-capable downstream device. The 1-gang form factor installs into a standard electrical box or plaster ring and includes a surface-mount bracket for table or rack rail attachment. The black textured finish accepts the FP-G1-B-T decorator faceplate (sold separately) for a finished commercial installation. The DM-TX-4KZ-100-C-1G-B-T is a direct drop-in replacement for the DM-TX-4K-100-C-1G-B-T with no cable or switcher changes required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the DM-TX-4KZ-100-C-1G-B-T and DM-TX-4KZ-100-C-1G-W-T?
Finish only — black textured vs. white textured. All functional specifications, connectors, and compatibility are identical. Select based on the wall plate color specification at the project site. The white version (DM-TX-4KZ-100-C-1G-W-T) is also available at Creation Networks.

What cable is required for 4K60 4:4:4 performance?
The HDMI cable from source to wall plate must support 18 Gbps TMDS bandwidth. For the DM 8G+ run: up to 165 ft (50 m) using third-party CAT5e or Cat6; up to 230 ft (70 m) using Crestron DM-CBL-8G; up to 330 ft (100 m) using Crestron DM Ultra cable (DMB-CBLULTRA).

Is the DM-TX-4KZ-100-C-1G-B-T compatible with existing DM 8G installations?
Yes. It is a direct drop-in replacement for the DM-TX-4K-100-C-1G-B-T using the same DM 8G+ output and infrastructure. No cable or switcher replacement is required; additional programming may be needed.

Does the wall plate include a faceplate?
No. The unit mounts in a standard 1-gang 2-1/8 in. deep electrical box or plaster ring (not included). The black textured decorator faceplate FP-G1-B-T is sold separately.

How is the device powered?
Primarily via PoDM (Power over DigitalMedia) or HDBaseT PoE from the connected DM switcher or receiver — no local power supply needed at the wall plate. If the downstream device does not provide PoDM or PoE, use the optional PW-2407WUL 24 VDC wall mount power pack (sold separately).

Do the IR and RS-232 ports work with any DM receiver?
IR and RS-232 control ports are enabled only when the DM-TX-4KZ-100-C-1G-B-T connects to an Ethernet-enabled DM receiver or switcher addressable from a Crestron control system.

What is the warranty on this product?
The DM-TX-4KZ-100-C-1G-B-T is covered under Crestron's standard limited warranty. Contact Creation Networks for support and warranty service.
