Crestron HD-CTL-101 – 8K Smart Display Controller with HDMI Connectivity

Product Overview

The Crestron HD-CTL-101 is an 8K Smart Display Controller that provides automated display management via HDMI CEC, RS-232, or IR without requiring a full 4-Series control processor. It detects active HDMI sources and automatically powers the connected display on and off, manages input selection, and handles basic display control functions — eliminating the most common requirement for a control processor in simple single-source display deployments. Suited for small conference rooms, breakout spaces, and digital signage locations where automated display power management is the primary control requirement.

Key Features

• 8K HDMI Pass-Through: Passes 8K video signals through to the connected display without quality degradation.
• Automatic Display Power Control: Turns the display on when an active HDMI source is detected and off when no signal is present — no programming or control processor required.
• HDMI CEC, RS-232, and IR Display Control: Multiple display control methods for broad compatibility with commercial displays.
• Standalone Operation: Functions without a Crestron control processor — plug and play for basic display automation.
• Ethernet Control Option: When connected to a Crestron 4-Series system, exposes display control to touch panel and room automation programs.

Typical Applications

• Small conference rooms and huddle spaces requiring display auto-power without a full control system
• Digital signage endpoints requiring automated display power management
• Breakout rooms with single-source HDMI and basic display control needs
• Classrooms with simple auto-on/off display requirements

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this replace a Crestron control processor for display management?
For basic display auto-power management in simple environments, yes. For full room automation — source switching, lighting, shades, scheduling — a Crestron 4-Series control processor is required.
