Crestron HD-MD2X1-8K 2x1 8K AV Switcher and Smart Display Controller
Crestron HD-MD2X1-8K – 2×1 8K AV Switcher and Smart Display Controller
Product Overview
The Crestron HD-MD2X1-8K is a 2×1 8K AV switcher and smart display controller in a single compact unit — combining automatic input switching between two HDMI sources with intelligent display control functions including auto-power on/off, input selection, and display management via HDMI CEC, RS-232, or IR. Designed for conference rooms and meeting spaces where two sources — typically a room PC and a BYOD HDMI laptop — must be switched to a single 8K-capable display with automatic source detection and display power management without a full control system.
Key Features
- 2×1 Auto-Switching: Automatically selects the active HDMI input for immediate, operator-free source switching in standard two-source environments.
- 8K HDMI Support: Passes 8K video signals for next-generation 8K display installations and future-proofed conference room infrastructure.
- Smart Display Controller: Automatically powers the display on when a source is connected and off when no signal is detected — eliminates the need for a separate control processor for basic display automation.
- HDMI CEC, RS-232, and IR Display Control: Multiple display control options for compatibility with a wide range of commercial displays.
- Compact Installation: Small form factor suitable for rack, shelf, or behind-display installation.
Typical Applications
- Conference rooms with two HDMI sources requiring automatic switching and display control
- Boardrooms with room PC and BYOD laptop sources
- Huddle rooms requiring simple auto-switching without a full control system
- Training rooms with instructor PC and guest HDMI input
