The HD-TX-301-C-E is a surface-mountable DM Lite transmitter designed
to pair with a DM Lite receiver to form a point-to-point signal extender for
HDMI® signals. The DM Lite family of products offers a very simple and
versatile solution for extending HD, UHD, 2K, and 4K video signals, with
stereo or surround sound audio, over a single CAT5e (or better) cable.
A cable length of up to 230 ft (70 m) is supported for HD 1080p, WUXGA,
and 2K signals, or up to 130 ft (40 m) for UHD and 4K.

For a complete tabletop interface solution with easy pull-out cables and
simple one-touch control, a single TT-100 series Crestron Connect It™
Cable Caddy may be installed in the table and connected to the
HD-TX-301-C-E mounted below.
Important: This product is not addressable from a control system and offers
no programmable functionality except when paired with an HD-RX-201-C-E
[2]
receiver. Otherwise, AV and CEC signals are simply passed through
between the transmitter and receiver. The RJ45 link port on this product
is exclusively intended for linking with a single DM Lite receiver. 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®.

Video
The HD-TX-301-C-E includes two HDMI inputs plus one VGA input. The
VGA input is accompanied by a stereo analog audio input. Auto-switching
between the HDMI and VGA inputs affords plug-and-play simplicity. Manual
input selection is also available via individual buttons on the unit. The VGA
input can accept RGB and component video signals by using an appropriate
breakout cable or adapter (not included). The audio input is selected in
tandem with the VGA input, and can be used by itself with no video source
connected. It cannot be paired with the HDMI video input however.
Note: When paired with an HD-RX-201-C-E receiver, input selection can be
controlled remotely through integration with a Crestron® control system.
The HD-TX-301-C-E is designed to mount on a flat surface beneath a
table, behind a credenza, or inside a podium. 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-TX-301-C-E also supplies
power to the connected receiver over the link cable. Alternately, a power
pack may be connected to the receiver, which in turn supplies power to
the HD-TX-301-C-E over the link cable.

1. 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) for resolutions up to 2K or 130 ft (40 m) for higher resolution
signals up to 4K. Refer to the “Maximum DM Lite Link Cable Lengths” table for a more
detailed overview. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. The VGA input requires an appropriate breakout cable or adapter to accommodate an RGB or
component video signal.
