Product Overview

The Crestron HD-TX-4KZ-201 is a DM Lite 4K60 4:4:4 transmitter and 2x1 auto-switcher for HDMI signal extension over CATx cable. It accepts two HDMI sources, switches between them automatically, and extends the selected signal to a DM Lite receiver or DMPS Lite switcher. The transmitter supports 4K60 4:4:4 video, HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HDCP 2.3. A compact, surface-mountable chassis suits conference rooms, classrooms, and presentation spaces with dual HDMI sources.

Product Description

The HD-TX-4KZ-201 provides two HDMI inputs and a single DM Lite output, switching between the inputs based on last-connected logic or assigned routing priority. Front-panel push buttons allow manual input selection, and an AUTO button enables or disables automatic switching. It extends UHD and 4K signals up to 130 ft (40 m) and 1080p, WUXGA, and 2K signals up to 230 ft (70 m) over Crestron DM-CBL-8G, DM-CBL-ULTRA, or third-party CAT5e or higher cable. CEC and EDID pass-through support automatic display control and reliable handshaking. The transmitter interoperates with DM Lite 4K60 4:4:4 receivers such as the HD-RX-4KZ-101 and HD-RXC-4KZ-101, and with DMPS Lite switchers including the HD-PS621, HD-PS622, HD-PS401, and HD-PS402. The compact chassis mounts under a table, behind a credenza, inside a podium, or on a single rack rail, and is powered by the included 24VDC power pack or, in supported pairings, from a remote DM Lite endpoint. Pair it with a compatible Crestron HD-RX-4KZ-101 receiver.
