Spec Sheet
The DM‑TX‑4KZ‑202‑C provides a versatile interface for ultra high-definition AV and computer sources as part of a complete Crestron® DigitalMedia™ system. It functions as a DM 8G+® transmitter and switcher with two HDMI® inputs and as a control module, providing RS-232 and IR control ports, plus Ethernet and USB HID ports for a total connectivity solution.
4K60 4:4:4 & HDR Support
Crestron DigitalMedia was the world’s first AV signal distribution solution to deliver end-to-end 4K signal management for large-scale commercial and residential applications. DM 4KZ endpoints and cards enable new and existing DM® systems to handle full 4K60 4:4:4 video signals, as well as HDR video signals (HDR10), without having to replace any wiring or switchers. Any Crestron DM system that supports 4K can be upgraded to handle 4K60 4:4:4 and HDR by simply installing DM 4KZ based transmitters, receivers, and I/O cards.2
DM 4KZ technology employs VESA® Display Stream Compression (DSC) to enhance the capabilities of DigitalMedia to handle the extreme bandwidth requirement of resolutions beyond 4K30 4:4:4 and 4K60 4:2:0. DSC is a lightweight, line-based 2:1 compression standard that delivers visually lossless performance for 4K60 4:4:4 and HDR signals. DSC is applied only to 4K60 4:4:4 and HDR input signals. All other signals are transported uncompressed.
DigitalMedia 8G+®
Engineered for ultra high-bandwidth and ultimate scalability, DigitalMedia 8G+ (DM 8G+) provides a true one-wire lossless transport for moving high-definition video, audio, power, Ethernet, and control signals over twisted pair copper wire. DM 8G+ transports uncompressed Full HD 1080p, WUXGA, and 2K signals over distances up to 330 ft (100 m) using Crestron DM Ultra Cable, Crestron DM 8G® Cable, or third-party CAT5e. Higher resolution signals up to UHD and 4K are supported over distances up to 330 ft (100 m) using DM Ultra Cable, 230 ft (70 m) using DM 8G Cable, or 165 ft (50 m) using CAT5e.1
HDBaseT® Compatible
Crestron DigitalMedia 8G+ technology is designed using HDBaseT Alliance specifications, ensuring interoperability with other HDBaseT certified products. Via its DM 8G+ output, the DM‑TX‑4KZ‑202‑C can be connected directly to an HDBaseT compliant device without requiring a DM receiver.
Multimedia Computer/AV Interface
The DM‑TX‑4KZ‑202‑C provides simple switching among two HDMI . Both inputs support resolutions up to UHD and DCI 4K, and can also handle DVI and Dual-Mode DisplayPort™ signals using an appropriate adapter or interface cable.3 The inputs can be switched automatically for plug-and-play simplicity, or programmatically through a Crestron control system.
Local HDMI Output
An HDMI output is included to enable pass-through of the selected input signal to feed a local display, monitor, or sound system.6
LAN Connectivity
Along with high-definition AV and control, DigitalMedia also integrates high-speed Ethernet networking for a total signal distribution solution. The DM‑TX‑4KZ‑202‑C includes a 10/100 Ethernet port, which can be used to provide a convenient LAN connection for a local network device.
Embedded Device Control
The DM‑TX‑4KZ‑202‑C includes built-in IR, RS-232, and Ethernet control ports to enable programmable control of the devices connected to it (via a control system). It also offers an alternative to such conventional control methods by harnessing the CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) signal embedded in HDMI. Through its connection to the control system, the DM‑TX‑4KZ‑202‑C provides a gateway for controlling the connected source devices right through their HDMI connections, potentially eliminating the need for any dedicated control wires or IR emitters.
Crestron Connect It™
A Crestron Connect It Cable Caddy (TT-100 series) offers a convenient tabletop connectivity solution that works seamlessly with the DM‑TX‑4KZ‑202‑C. The cable caddy gets its power and control from the DM‑TX‑4KZ‑202‑C through a simple USB connection.
