Crestron’s Theme at ISE Will be 4K Everything
Crestron’s ISE stand #2-C24 will see the official European debut of the DM 3.0 standard, as well as live demonstrations of more DigitalMedia 4K products. Crestron will be debuting the following new DM 4K products at ISE 2015, all of which meet one or more requirement of the DM 3.0 standard:
A 4K/60 Hz scaler: Dubbed a 4K DigitalMedia Receiver & Room Controller with a built-in scaler, the DM-RMC-4K-SCALER-C integrates what Crestron says is an exclusive scaler chip, developed at the Crestron Research Center. In fact, to our knowledge, it may be the first 4K scaler on the market that can scale up to 4096×2160 at 60 Hz.
A 3-Series 4K DigitalMedia Presentation System will be shown at ISE. The DMPS3-4K-150-C includes 4K switching and scaling using the new Crestron .AV Framework. It combines DM technology with an IP-based 3-Series Control System, 10X1 4K/60 switcher, mic mixer, and audio DSP. This particular built-in 4K scaler converts any resolution and frame rate to any other resolution and frame rate, up to 4096×2160 at 30Hz.
Both the Wall Plate 4K DigitalMedia Transmitter (DM-TX1-4K-C-1G) and Wall Plate 4K DigitalMedia Receiver (DM-RX1-4K-C-1G) are powered over DM, so all you need is a single cable. Using CEC, many devices can be controlled right through their HDMI connections. Available in both black and white, both devices utilize a standard electrical box for tidy, discreet installation.
The 4K DigitalMedia Input Card for DM Switchers (DMC-4K-C) and 4K DigitalMedia Input Card with Downmixing for DM Switchers (DMC-4K-C-DSP) provide a single DM or HDBaseT input for any DM switcher with modular input card slots, and handles 4K and Ultra HD video resolutions.
Crestron says its DigitalMedia Ultra Cable, Low Smoke Zero Halogen (DM-CBL-ULTRA-LSZH) meets the requirements for use in Europe per IEC 60332-1 specifications. DM Ultra Cable exceeds the HDMI specification which allows fewer than one pixel error per billion, for HDBaseT distribution of 4K content up to 100 meters. It’s a CAT7a shielded twisted pair cable.
Crestron will use ISE to debut a 1-to-2 4K HDMI Distribution Amplifier (HD-DA2-4K-E), 1-to-4 4K HDMI Distribution Amplifier (HD-DA4-4K-E), and 1-to-8 4K HDMI Distribution Amplifier (HD-DA8-4K-E) split one 4K HDMI source to two, four, or eight separate outputs, respectively. All of them are here.
