Crestron Expands DigitalMedia 4K Lineup with Introduction of Copper Input Blade and HDMI Output Blade
Crestron has expanded its DigitalMedia solutions with the introduction of two new blades designed to enable Crestron DM-MD64X64 or DM-MD128X128 switchers to deliver 4K and Ultra HD video. Each blade provides eight inputs or outputs and adds support for HDCP 2.2.
Now shipping, the new 8-Channel 4K HDMI Input Blade for DM switchers (DMB-4K-I-C) provides eight DM inputs, and Crestron claims that it supports any resolution up to 4K and Ultra HD video. The DMB-4K-I-C input blade and the 8-Channel HDBaseT 4K DigitalMedia Output Blade (DMB-4K-O-C) are compatible with the PoDM (Power over DM) redundant power supply (DM-PSU-3X8-RPS). Each power supply can drive up to three blades.
The DMB-4K-O-HD output blade provides eight independent HDMI outputs and Crestron says it’s designed for 4K/60 scaling and audio extracting capabilities. Each output can be individually scaled and audio extracting enables the audio to de-embed from the HDMI video and transmit the digital audio to powered speakers, amplifiers, and other audio components.
