Crestron DMC-4KZ-HD - [HDMI® 4K60 4:4:4 HDR Input Card]

Description

Provides a single HDMI® input for any DigitalMedia™ Switcher with modular input card slots. Supports 4K60 4:4:4 and HDR video sources.
The DMC-4KZ-HD is an input card designed for use with any card-based Crestron®
DigitalMedia™
Switcher. It provides one HDMI® input, with complementary HDMI pass-through and analog audio outputs. A USB HID port is also provided. The HDMI input handles Full HD 1080p, Ultra HD, 2K, and 4K video signals with support for HDCP 2.2, HDR10, Deep Color, 3D, and high-bitrate 7.1 audio. The HDMI input can also handle DVI and Dual-Mode DisplayPort signals using an appropriate adapter or interface cable.

NOTE: Refer to model
DMC-4KZ-HD-DSP
for use with surround sound sources.
4K60 4:4:4 & HDR Support
Crestron DigitalMedia (DM) was the world’s first AV signal distribution solution to deliver end-to-end 4K signal management for large-scale commercial and residential applications. DM “4KZ” cards and endpoints enable new and existing DM systems to handle full 4K60 4:4:4 video signals, as well as HDR video signals (HDR10), without having to replace any wiring or switchers. Any Crestron DM system that supports 4K can be upgraded to handle 4K60 4:4:4 and HDR by simply installing DM 4KZ based cards, transmitters, and receivers. The DMC-4KZ-HD is designed to replace an existing
DMC-4K-HD
or
DMC-4K-HD-HDCP2
input card without requiring any extra configuration or programming.
[2]
DM 4KZ technology employs VESA® Display Stream Compression (DSC) to enhance the capabilities of DigitalMedia 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
only
to 4K60 4:4:4 and HDR input signals. All other signals are transported uncompressed.
HDMI® Pass-Through
Every DM switcher input card includes an HDMI output port, which can be used to pass the input signal through to a local audio processor or video monitor, or to feed a second DM switcher for output expansion purposes.
[2]
Audio De-embedding
The DMC-4KZ-HD includes an unbalanced analog audio output, allowing stereo audio signals to be extracted from the digital input and fed to a multiroom audio distribution system. The output volume is adjustable via a control system using a keypad, touch screen, handheld remote, or mobile device.
[3]
NOTE: For applications requiring the simultaneous distribution of multichannel surround sound and 2-channel stereo audio signals, use model
DMC-4KZ-HD-DSP
.
USB Signal Extension
Built-in USB HID signal routing allows a connected computer (or other USB HID-compliant host) to be controlled by a mouse and/or keyboard located at a presentation lectern, conference table, or some other remote location. Additional USB devices of virtually any type can be supported using Crestron USB over Ethernet Extender Modules (
USB-EXT-DM-LOCAL
and
USB-EXT-DM-REMOTE
).
[4]
CEC Embedded Device Control
For controlling third-party AV devices, DigitalMedia offers an alternative to conventional IR, RS-232, and Ethernet by harnessing the CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) signal embedded in HDMI. Through its connection to a Crestron control system (via the DM switcher), the DMC-4KZ-HD provides a gateway for controlling the connected source device right through the HDMI connection, potentially eliminating the need for any dedicated control wires or IR emitters.
Standalone HDMI Problem Solver
In addition to its use as an input card for DM switchers, the DMC-4KZ-HD may also be used with the DMCI DigitalMedia Card Interface
[5]
to provide a handy problem-solving tool with many useful functions. It can be used to extract an analog audio signal from an HDMI stream, to provide a gateway for CEC device control, and to extend a USB HID mouse/keyboard signal over Ethernet. It can also be used to detect a device’s video and audio information, manage its EDID, and assess its HDCP capabilities.

1.
HDMI requires an appropriate adapter or interface cable to accommodate a DVI or Dual-Mode DisplayPort signal.
CBL-HD-DVI
interface cables are available separately.
2.
4K60 4:4:4 performance and HDR support require the use of HDMI cables and couplers with a minimum TMDS bandwidth of 18 Gbps. If 4K60 4:2:0 or 4K30 4:4:4 performance is acceptable, cables and couplers with a minimum bandwidth of 10.2 Gbps may be used. Please be aware that bandwidth loss is cumulative, so performance may be reduced when inserting multiple cables and couplers inline.
3.
The analog stereo audio output is only active when the input source is outputting a 2-channel stereo signal. For applications using a multichannel surround sound source, use model
DMC-4KZ-HD-DSP
which provides simultaneous surround sound and stereo downmix output signals.
4.
USB over Ethernet Extender Modules are sold separately. Refer to the
USB-EXT-DM-LOCAL
and
USB-EXT-DM-REMOTE
spec sheets for more information.
