Crestron DM-TX-4K-302-C

4K Ultra HD
Crestron DigitalMedia continues to advance the standard for digital AV signal distribution, delivering the world’s first end-to-end 4K system solution. The DM-TX-4K-302-C features the latest DM 8G+ technology, providing support for the transport of 4K and Ultra HD video signals. Support for 4K video also ensures support for the latest generation of computers and monitors with native resolutions beyond 1080p and WUXGA.

HDBaseT® Certified
Crestron DigitalMedia 8G+ technology is designed using HDBaseT Alliance specifications, ensuring interoperability with other HDBaseT certified products. Via its DM 8G+ output, the DM-TX-4K-302-C can be connected directly to an HDBaseT compliant device without requiring a DM receiver.

Multimedia Computer/AV Interface
The DM-TX-4K-302-C provides simple switching among three inputs. The inputs can be configured to switch automatically or be controlled through a Crestron control system. Auto-detection on each input enables plug-and-play simplicity, supporting a wide range of input types without requiring any special configuration. Inputs include:

• HDMI — Provides two independent digital multimedia inputs for mobile devices, computers, and AV sources with resolutions up to UHD and DCI 4K. These inputs can also handle DVI and Dual-Mode DisplayPort signals using an appropriate adapter or interface cable.
• VGA — This input handles analog VGA and RGB signals up to WUXGA 1920x1200 pixels. It can also handle component, S-Video, and composite video signals up to 1080p60 through an appropriate adapter or breakout cable. A 1/8” (3.5 mm) stereo audio input is included to accommodate the analog audio signal from an unbalanced line-level source or headphone output.

Note: Analog audio breakaway capability allows the analog audio input to be used with any video input.

A single CAT type cable connects the DM-TX-4K-302-C to a DM switcher or receiver, or to an HDBaseT device, transporting video, audio, control, networking, and power signals all through one simple RJ45 connection.[1,2,3] Used with a single DM 8G+ Receiver/Room Controller and optional Crestron control system, the DM-TX-4K-302-C affords a simple solution for extending a computer or AV signal to a single display. As part of a larger system using a DM-MD series switcher, multiple DM-TX-4K-302-Cs may be deployed to enable the distribution of several sources at different locations to feed multiple displays throughout any room or larger facility.

Local HDMI Output
An HDMI output is included to enable pass-through of the selected video and audio signals to feed a local display, monitor, or sound system.

LAN Connectivity
Along with high-definition AV and control, DigitalMedia also integrates high-speed Ethernet networking for a total signal distribution solution. The DM-TX-4K-302-C includes a 10/100 Ethernet port, which can be used to provide a convenient LAN connection for a local network device.

Embedded Device Control
The DM-TX-4K-302-C includes built-in IR, RS-232, and Ethernet control ports to enable programmable control of the devices connected to it (via a control system). It also offers an alternative to such conventional control methods by harnessing the CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) signal embedded in HDMI. Through its connection to the control system, the DM-TX-4K-302-C provides a gateway for controlling the connected source devices right through their HDMI connections, potentially eliminating the need for any dedicated control wires or IR emitters.

USB Signal Extension
The DM-TX-4K-302-C functions as a versatile USB keyboard/mouse extender with both host and device ports provided onboard. This allows a computer (or other USB HID-compliant host) to be connected to the DM-TX-4K-302-C and controlled remotely by a USB HID keyboard and/or mouse located elsewhere. Alternately, the keyboard/mouse may be connected locally and used to control a remote computer. Routing of the USB HID signals is handled through the DigitalMedia system. Support for other types of USB devices can be enabled using Crestron USB over Ethernet Extenders (USB-EXT-DM).[4,5]

Crestron Connect It™
A Crestron Connect It Cable Caddy (TT-100 series) offers a convenient tabletop connectivity solution that works seamlessly with the DM-TX-4K-302-C. The cable caddy gets its power and control from the DM-TX-4K-302-C through a simple USB connection.[4]

Compact and Versatile
The DM-TX-4K-302-C is designed to be mounted to a flat surface or placed on a shelf. It is compact enough to fit discreetly inside a presentation lectern or beneath a table, and can even be attached to a rack rail in the back of an equipment cabinet. The unit can be powered using the wall mount power pack (included), or PoDM+ (Power over DigitalMedia Plus) for a true one-wire solution.[2,3,4] An array of indicators is provided on the unit for easy setup and troubleshooting.
