2-Channel HDMI® 4K60 4:4:4 HDR Scaling Output Card for DM® Switchers

The DMC-4KZ-HDO is an output card designed for use with card-based Crestron® DigitalMedia™ switchers (for example, the DM-MD8X8-CPU3). The card provides two independent HDMI® outputs with complementary analog stereo audio outputs. The HDMI outputs handle Full HD 1080p, Ultra HD, 2K, and 4K video signals with support for HDCP 2.2, HDR10, Deep Color, and high-bitrate 7.1 audio. Built-in 4K604:4:4 scaling enables devices connected to the HDMI outputs to handle any video resolution from NTSC 480i to DCI 4K. DVI signals are also supported using an appropriate adapter or interface cable

4K60 4:4:4 and HDR Support
The DMC-4KZ-HDO incorporates DM 4KZ technology, which uses VESA® Display Stream Compression (DSC) to handle the extreme bandwidth requirement of resolutions beyond 4K30 4:4:4 and 4K60 4:2:0. DSC is a lightweight, line-based 2:1 compression standard that delivers visually lossless performance for 4K60 4:4:4 and HDR signals. DSC is applied to 4K60 4:4:4 and HDR input signals only. All other signals are transported uncompressed.

An existing 4K DigitalMedia system can be upgraded to handle 4K60 4:4:4 and HDR video with the installation of DM 4KZ cards, transmitters, and receivers. The upgrade can be accomplished without the need to replace wiring or switchers. The DMC-4KZ-HDO can replace a DMC-4K-HDO output card in an existing installation (additional programming may be required).

4K60 4:4:4 Scaler
An independent, high-performance 4K60 4:4:4 scaler is provided for each output to ensure that input sources of any resolution or frame rate can be routed and displayed reliably on virtually any display device without compromising the original input signal.

As part of a DM® switcher with many outputs, any video or computer source can be viewed simultaneously on multiple disparate displays, scaling the signal up or down to match the native resolution of each display.

Interlaced sources are converted to progressive scan using motion-adaptive deinterlacing. Intelligent frame rate conversion enables support for 24p and PAL format sources.
