Crestron HD-RX-4K-210-C-E – DMPS Lite 4K Multiformat 2×1 AV Switch and Receiver

Product Overview

The Crestron HD-RX-4K-210-C-E is a DMPS Lite 4K display-mount AV switch and receiver combining a 2×1 HDMI switcher with a DM Lite CATx receiver in a compact chassis designed to mount directly behind or adjacent to the room display — eliminating the need for a separate AV rack, receiver chassis, and matrix switcher in simple 2-source commercial conference room installations. It accepts one DM Lite CATx input (from a wall plate transmitter at the presenter position) and one local HDMI input (directly connected at the display), switches between the two sources, and outputs 4K HDMI to the room display. RS-232 display control, IR output, and USB pass-through complete the signal set for a fully functional conference room AV system without an equipment rack.

Product Description

Many commercial conference rooms require only two presenter sources — a CATx-connected wall plate for the presenter at the table or podium, and a local HDMI source at the display for a mounted media player, room PC, or video conferencing compute module. The HD-RX-4K-210-C-E combines both capabilities — DM Lite CATx receiver and 2-input HDMI switcher — in a compact display-mount unit that eliminates the cost, space, and complexity of a separate AV rack. The installer mounts the HD-RX-4K-210-C-E directly to the display mount or VESA plate, runs a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable from the presenter wall plate transmitter, connects the local HDMI source, and runs a short HDMI cable from the receiver’s HDMI output to the display input. RS-232 from the receiver enables display power and input control from a Crestron room processor or from the receiver’s built-in auto-switching intelligence. The result is a fully functional 2-source conference room AV system at a cost and installation complexity significantly below a full rack-mount AV deployment, making the HD-RX-4K-210-C-E the standard recommendation for small and medium conference rooms where 2 sources are sufficient and rack space is unavailable or undesirable.

Key Features

• Integrated DM Lite Receiver and 2×1 HDMI Switcher: Combines CATx DM Lite signal reception from a wall plate transmitter with a local HDMI input and 2-input auto-switching — one device replaces a separate receiver chassis and AV rack switcher in simple 2-source commercial conference room deployments.
• 4K HDMI Output to Display: Outputs 4K HDMI to the room display from either the CATx-received DM Lite signal or the local HDMI input, supporting 4K content from both source types at the display.
• Display-Mount Form Factor: Compact chassis mounts directly behind or adjacent to the room display on the VESA plate or display mount bracket, eliminating the need for a separate AV equipment rack or credenza in small conference room deployments.
• RS-232 Display Control: RS-232 port enables direct display power on/off and input selection from a Crestron room control processor or from the receiver’s integrated auto-switching intelligence without a separate display controller.
• USB Pass-Through: USB signal pass-through over the CATx cable from the wall plate transmitter end enables USB device connectivity at the presenter position to be extended to the receiver end for local USB host connection to a room PC or UC compute module.
• IR Output: IR blaster output at the receiver enables IR control of display or source devices at the display wall position.
• Auto-Switching: Automatically selects the active input — CATx (DM Lite from wall plate) or local HDMI — based on signal presence, eliminating the need for manual source selection in simple 2-source rooms.
• PoE to Paired Transmitter: Provides Power over CATx to the paired DM Lite wall plate transmitter, eliminating the need for a local power supply at the transmitter wall plate.

Typical Applications

• Small and medium conference rooms with a single presenter wall plate transmitter and one local HDMI source, requiring no AV equipment rack
• Huddle rooms with a display-mount AV receiver replacing a separate rack switcher — simplifying installation and reducing equipment cost
• Government and corporate small meeting rooms with 2-source AV requirements where rack space is unavailable or not desired
• Training room instructor positions with presenter CATx wall plate and local room PC or video conferencing compute module as the two sources
• Retrofit conference room AV upgrades replacing legacy VGA switchers with a rack-free DM Lite 2-source solution

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the HD-RX-4K-210-C-E require a Crestron control processor?
No — the HD-RX-4K-210-C-E includes integrated auto-switching and can operate as a standalone 2-source switch without a Crestron control processor. For advanced control — scheduled source switching, occupancy-based automation, and room scheduling integration — a Crestron 4-Series control processor such as the RMC4 can be added. Contact Creation Networks for system design guidance.

What wall plate transmitters pair with the HD-RX-4K-210-C-E?
Compatible DM Lite wall plate transmitters include the HD-TXC-4KZ-101-1G-B/W (single HDMI), HD-TX-201-C-2G-E-B-T (HDMI+VGA), and HD-TX-4KZ-211-2G-B (HDMI+USB-C). Contact Creation Networks to confirm transmitter compatibility and select the correct wall plate for your source types.

How does the HD-RX-4K-210-C-E mount at the display?
The HD-RX-4K-210-C-E is designed for display-mount or VESA bracket installation behind the room display. Mounting accessories are required — refer to the Crestron data sheet for mounting hardware details or contact Creation Networks for mounting guidance specific to your display model.

What is the warranty on the Crestron HD-RX-4K-210-C-E?
Crestron provides a standard 3-year limited warranty. Contact Creation Networks for warranty service details.
