Crestron DMC-4KZ-HDO Output card, 2-channel HDMI 4K60 4:4:4 HDR scaling

Crestron offers the DMC-4KZ-HDO, a 2-Channel HDMI® 4K60 4:4:4 HDR Scaling Output Card for DM® Switchers.

The DMC-4KZ-HDO is a modular output card for card-based Crestron® DigitalMedia™ switchers. This provides two independent 4K HDMI® outputs with complementary analog audio outputs. The card supports 4K60 4:4:4 and HDR video signals and provides built-in scaling.

The HDMI outputs handle Full HD 1080p, Ultra HD, 2K and 4K video signals with support for HDCP 2.2, HDR10, Deep Color and high-bitrate 7.1 audio. Built-in 4K604:4:4 scaling enables devices connected to the HDMI outputs to handle any video resolution from NTSC 480i to DCI 4K. DVI signals are also supported using an appropriate adapter or interface cable.

The DMC-4KZ-HDO incorporates DM 4KZ technology, which uses VESA® Display Stream Compression (DSC) 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 to 4K60 4:4:4 and HDR input signals only. All other signals are transported uncompressed.

An existing 4K DigitalMedia system can be upgraded to handle 4K60 4:4:4 and HDR video with the installation of DM 4KZ cards, transmitters and receivers. The upgrade can be accomplished without the need to replace wiring or switchers. The DMC-4KZ-HDO can replace a DMC-4K-HDO output card in an existing installation (additional programming may be required).
