The HD-RX-201-C-E is a surface-mountable DM Lite receiver designed
to pair with a DM Lite transmitter to form a point-to-point signal extender
for HDMI® signals. It features a built-in HD video scaler and handles video
resolutions up to HD 1080p and WUXGA. It supports Dolby Digital®, DTS®,
and 8-channel LPCM surround sound audio formats, and includes a stereo
analog audio output.
[1]
It also includes a local HDMI input to supplement
the input(s) at the transmitter. The HD-RX-201-C-E links to the transmitter
using a single CAT5e (or better) twisted pair cable and supports cable
lengths of up to 230 ft (70 m).
[2]
[1]
[5]
Note: Auto-switching behavior for all of the inputs on the transmitter and
receiver can be configured using “priority routing” mode to define which
inputs take precedence when connecting multiple sources.
A single HDMI output provides for connection to the display device (or
other equipment). The HDMI output video signal is professionally scaled
automatically to the native resolution of the display to ensure reliable
performance and optimal image quality. Resolutions up to Full HD 1080p
and WUXGA are supported. The HDMI output also passes audio to the
display, or the stereo analog audio output may be used to feed audio to a
separate sound bar or amplifier.
[1]
The HD-RX-201-C-E features onboard control capabilities to automatically
turn the display device on when an input signal is detected, and off when
no source is connected. Display control is available using the onboard IR or
RS-232 ports, or through the HDMI connection using CEC. Connecting the
HD-RX-201-C-E to an Ethernet network enables easy setup, configuration,
and basic operation using a web browser, and also allows integration
with a Crestron control system for enhanced control capabilities using a
Crestron touch screen, keypad, wireless remote, or mobile device app.
The control system can be programmed to provide enhanced control of
the display device, switch inputs on the receiver and transmitter, adjust
the analog audio output volume, and control any other equipment in the
room using IR, RS-232, CEC, and IP. Integration with a control system also
enables centralized monitoring and scheduling using the Crestron Fusion®
Enterprise Management Service.
Note: For applications requiring 4K video signal extension with high-bitrate
audio support, refer to the HD-RX-101-C-E or HD-RXC-101-C-E.
In addition to its DM Lite link port, the HD-RX-201-C-E also includes a
single HDMI input, which may be wired to an optional wall plate or used to
connect a local source such as a mini PC or Crestron® AirMedia® System.
Auto-switching between the HDMI and link inputs affords plug-and-play
simplicity. Manual input selection is also available via individual buttons on
the unit.

Note: The control ports on this device cannot be used to extend IR, RS-232,
or Ethernet signals over the DM Lite link. COM and IR ports on the transmitter
are not addressable from the HD-RX-201-C-E or control system.
The HD-RX-201-C-E is designed to mount on a wall behind a flat-panel
display, on the ceiling above a projector, or on any other flat surface. It
can also be attached to a single rack rail in the back of an equipment
cabinet. When powered using the provided wall mount power pack, the
HD-RX-201-C-E also supplies power to the connected transmitter over the
HD-RX-201-C-E DM Lite – HDMI
®
over CATx Receiver, Room Controller, 2x1 Auto-Switcher, HD Scaler
link cable. Alternately, a power pack may be connected to the transmitter,
which in turn supplies power to the HD-RX-201-C-E over the link cable.
[3]
Important: The RJ45 link port on this product, labeled “FROM TX,” is
exclusively intended for linking with a single DM Lite transmitter. It should
not be used to connect to any other equipment or network. DM Lite is not
compatible with PoE, PoDM, DigitalMedia 8G+® (DM 8G+®), or HDBaseT®.

Notes:
1. The analog audio output is only active when the input source is transmitting a 2-channel
stereo signal.
2. For the DM Lite link cable, use Crestron DM-CBL-8G DigitalMedia 8G™ cable, Crestron
DM-CBL-ULTRA DigitalMedia™ Ultra cable, or third-party CAT5e (or better). The maximum
cable length is 230 ft (70 m). Shielded cable and connectors are required when bundling
multiple cables in a wire run, and are recommended for all applications to safeguard against
unpredictable environmental electrical noise which may impact performance at resolutions
above 1080p. All wire and cables are sold separately. DM Lite devices are not compatible
with DigitalMedia 8G+ (DM 8G+), HDBaseT, PoE, PoDM, or any other CATx based interface
or network.
3. The power pack may be connected to either the transmitter or receiver. Only one power pack
is required. Do not connect more than one power pack. DM Lite devices are not compatible
with PoE or PoDM.
4. The HDMI output requires an appropriate adapter or interface cable to accommodate a DVI
signal. CBL-HD-DVI interface cables are available separately.
5. The HDMI input requires an appropriate adapter or interface cable to accommodate a DVI or
Dual-Mode DisplayPort signal. CBL-HD-DVI interface cables are available separately.
6. With or without reduced blanking.
7. With reduced blanking.
