The HD-WP-4K-401-C enables the display of up to four video sources
simultaneously on a single HD, Ultra HD, or 4K display. Parallel HDMI®
and HDBaseT® outputs provide flexible connectivity for the display device
and other equipment. Input sources up to 4K are supported via four HDMI
inputs. Fully automatic operation enables use without a control system,
while enhanced operation and custom functionality can be attained
through integration with a control system.

Video windowing enhances the presentation and collaboration capabilities
of any meeting space, allowing multiple presentation sources to be
connected and displayed together on screen. The ability to connect up to
four Crestron Connect It™ cable caddies directly to the HD-WP-4K-401-C
affords a perfect multi-window collaboration solution for huddle rooms
and classrooms. Any meeting room, classroom, training lab, auditorium,
lecture hall, house of worship, or command center can benefit from the
use of video windowing, expanding the facility’s display capabilities while
saving cost by allowing more video sources to be viewed on fewer
display devices.

[9]

Note: Interlaced video signals are not supported. A Crestron

HD-SCALER-HD-E video scaler may be added to any HDMI input to

enable support for interlaced video sources on that input. Refer to the
specifications for complete input and output capabilities.

[3]

Note: Full screen 4K display is supported by Inputs 1 and 2 only.
4K sources connected to Inputs 3 and 4 are automatically downscaled
to 1080p.

High-Performance Video Windowing

The HD-WP-4K-401-C is engineered to deliver a professional onscreen
experience with crystal clear 4K video quality and smooth transitions.
Using Automatic mode, the screen fluidly configures itself based on the
number of connected sources. With four sources connected, all four
images appear in four equal sized windows that combine to fill the screen.
Disconnect or disable one source and the screen reconfigures to display
only three windows (two top, one bottom). Connect or select only two
sources and they display side by side, while a single source displays
full screen.

PIP (Picture-In-Picture) windowing is also supported, allowing one source
to be displayed full screen with a second source displayed in an inset PIP
window. The size and location of the PIP window can be defined at setup.
All windowing modes and input assignments can be managed at setup
or while in operation using the front panel controls, a web browser, or a
control system.

Text & Image Overlay

Each video window can be designated with a custom text label. An
additional text field can be positioned at any location on screen to display
a static label or a dynamic pop-up message sent from the control system.
A custom photo or logo image can also be uploaded to appear at any
location on the screen.

HD-WP-4K-401-C 4K Multi-Window Video Processor

Crestron Connect It

™

Crestron Connect It is a cost-effective, simple-to-use presentation
solution that works seamlessly with the HD-WP-4K-401-C. Simply add
up to four Crestron Connect It Cable Caddies (TT-100 series) to provide
BYOD connectivity and one-touch control for multiple participants around
a conference table. Four USB ports on the HD-WP-4K-401-C provide
power and communications for each cable caddy.

Note: The HD-WP-4K-401-C does not support VGA or analog audio inputs.

HDBaseT® Output

Its HDBaseT output allows the HD-WP-4K-401-C to connect directly to any
display device equipped with an HDBaseT input. The HDBaseT connection
requires just one CAT type cable and supports wiring distances up to
300 feet (100 meters), easily accommodating all types of room configurations.
The HDBaseT and HDMI outputs may be used simultaneously, providing
identical signals at each output with the added benefits of longer cable
length and the ability to power an HDBaseT PoE+ powered device over the
HDBaseT connection.

[2]

The HDBaseT output is also compatible with Crestron DigitalMedia™ (DM®),
allowing for connection to a DM 8G+® receiver, DM switcher, Crestron RL® 2
Group Collaboration System, or DM-DGE-200-C Digital Graphics Engine.
Please note that the HD-WP-4K-401-C does not provide control of the DM
device or any equipment connected to that DM device.

[2]

Audio Pass-Through & De-Embedding

When displaying a full screen image of any single input source, that source’s
audio signal is routed to the HDMI and HDBaseT outputs. A balanced
analog audio output is also included to allow stereo audio signals to be
extracted from the digital output and fed to a separate audio switcher,
processor, or amplifier.

[3,4]

Display Control & System Integration

When used without a control system, the HD-WP-4K-401-C provides
essential on/off power control of the display device, via RS-232 using the
onboard COM port, or via CEC through the HDMI or HDBaseT output. The
display device can be configured to turn on automatically when an input
source is connected, and then turn off following an adjustable time period
after all sources are disconnected.

Adding a control system enables fully customizable control of the display
and other devices connected to the HD-WP-4K-401-C via RS-232, IR, and
CEC. CEC is supported through each of the onboard HDMI and HDBaseT
ports. Integration with a control system also enables integration with

Crestron Fusion® Cloud to support centralized control, monitoring, and

room scheduling as part of a complete managed enterprise.

Simplified Setup

Easy setup and configuration of the HD-WP-4K-401-C is enabled using the
front panel controls or a web browser. Standalone operation is supported
for set-and-forget video windowing applications, and for small AV
presentation applications with or without the optional Crestron Connect It
Cable Caddies.

Notes:

1. Inputs 1 and 2 allow sources with resolutions up to DCI 4K to be displayed at their full
resolution when in full screen mode (as long as that resolution is supported by the display
device). Inputs 3 and 4 will accept sources with resolution up to DCI 4K, however the full
screen output resolution for these inputs is limited to 1080p. Sources with resolutions
beyond 1080p that are connected to Inputs 3 and 4 are always downscaled to 1080p. Refer
to the specifications for additional details on supported input and output resolutions.

2. The maximum cable length for HDBaseT or DigitalMedia 8G+ (DM 8G+) is dependent upon
the type of cable, resolution of the video signal, and capabilities of each connected device.
Refer to the “HDBaseT & DM 8G+ Maximum Cable Lengths” table for a detailed overview.
Shielded cable and connectors are recommended to safeguard against unpredictable
environmental electrical noise which may impact performance at resolutions above 1080p.
Refer to the Crestron DigitalMedia Design Guide, Doc. #4546 for DM system design
guidelines. All wire and cables are sold separately.

3. Audio is only passed to the outputs when displaying a full screen video image, and only the
audio associated with the full screen image is passed. Audio is not passed to any output
when displaying video in windows.

4. The analog audio output is only active when the input source is outputting a 2-channel
stereo signal.

5. When used without a control system, the RS-232 COM port supports basic on/off power
control of a single display device and the IR port is not utilized. The addition of a Crestron
control system with custom programming enables both the COM and IR ports to be utilized
for fully-customizable control applications.

6. When used without a control system, CEC may be utilized at either video output to provide
basic on/off power control of a single display device. The addition of a Crestron control
system with custom programming enables CEC to be utilized through any HDMI or HDBaseT
port for fully-customizable control applications.

7. The HD-WP-4K-401-C does not provide direct control of a DM receiver or any devices
connected to that receiver. To enable this requires a Crestron control system with custom
programming.

8. The HD-WP-4K-401-C does not support interlaced input or output signals. An

HD-SCALER-HD-E may be added to any HDMI input to enable support for interlaced video

sources on that input. Please refer to the HD-SCALER-HD-E spec sheet for more information.

9. HDMI connections require an appropriate adapter or interface cable to accommodate a DVI
or Dual-Mode DisplayPort signal. CBL-HD-DVI interface cables are available separately.

10. Deep Color input signals are truncated to 24-bit (8-bits per color) at the output.
