The DMC-4K-HD-HDCP2 is an input card designed for use with any cardbased 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, 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.
[1]
NOTE: Refer to model DMC-4K-HD-DSP-HDCP2 for use with surround sound
sources.
4K Ultra HD
The DMC-4K-HD-HDCP2 is capable of handling video resolutions up to
4K and Ultra HD. Support for 4K video also ensures support for the latest
generation of computers and monitors with native resolutions beyond
1080p and WUXGA.
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.
Audio De-embedding
The DMC-4K-HD-HDCP2 also 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.

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 Extenders (USB-EXT-DM)
[3]
.
CEC Embedded Device Control
DigitalMedia offers an alternative to conventional IR and RS-232 device
control 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-4K-HD-HDCP2 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-4K-HDHDCP2 may also be used with the DMCI DigitalMedia Card Interface
[4]
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 deviceís video and
audio information, manage its EDID, and assess its HDCP capabilities.
To configure a DM switcher complete with input and output cards,
cables, and other peripherals, please use the online DigitalMedia
Switcher Configuration Tool.
NOTE: For applications requiring the simultaneous distribution of
multichannel surround sound and 2-channel stereo audio signals, use
model DMC-4K-HD-DSP-HDCP2.
