The Crestron HD‑RX‑4K‑510‑C‑E multiformat AV switch and receiver provides enhanced HDMI® video switching and audio presentation capabilities in areas such as conference rooms and classrooms. The HD‑RX‑4K‑510‑C‑E provides three DM Lite® inputs for connection to up to three DM Lite 4K60 4:2:0 transmitters. For a list of supported DM Lite transmitters, refer to Online Help Answer ID 1001796.

A CATx (CAT5e or higher) twisted pair cable connects a DM Lite transmitter to the HD‑RX‑4K‑510‑C‑E for the transmission of HDMI signals. For resolutions up to 2K, the maximum transmission distance is 230 ft (70 m). For higher resolutions up to 4K, the maximum transmission distance is 130 ft (40 m).¹

NOTE: Power is transmitted over the CATx cable that connects the HD‑RX‑4K‑510‑C‑E to a DM Lite transmitter. The HD‑RX‑4K‑510‑C‑E can power three transmitters simultaneously.

In addition to three DM Lite inputs, the HD‑RX‑4K‑510‑C‑E provides two HDMI inputs that can be connected to local AV sources.

Automatic Switching of Inputs
Automatic switching among the DM Lite and HDMI inputs can occur based on the last connected input. Switching behavior is configurable using the web interface or programmable using a Crestron control system. In addition, input selection push buttons on the front panel of the HD‑RX‑4K‑510‑C‑E allow the desired input to be selected manually.

HDMI Output with 4K Scaler
A single HDMI output with a built-in scaler connects to a display or other device with an HDMI input.² Input resolutions are automatically scaled to match the native resolution of the display device, resulting in optimal image quality. For applications requiring comprehensive EDID management, the web interface can be used to ensure that every input is displayed at its optimal resolution and format. Input resolutions up to 4K60 4:2:0 are supported.

Enhanced Audio Capabilities
The HD‑RX‑4K‑510‑C‑E includes a built-in amplifier that can drive a pair of 4- or 8-ohm stereo speakers (25 W per channel). The HD‑RX‑4K‑510‑C‑E also provides 6x2 audio mixing capability. Embedded HDMI 2-channel LPCM audio can be extracted from the selected DM Lite or HDMI input and combined with the five analog audio inputs (LINE 1, LINE 2, MIC 1, MIC 2, and AUX). Gain and mute sound adjustments can be made to each of the six inputs being mixed. The mixed audio is then transmitted as two audio outputs: one mirrored AUX 1, SPEAKER, HDMI mixer output and one AUX 2 output. Audio mixer settings such as volume and mute control are configurable for each of the two outputs independently.

Device Control
Equipped with onboard control ports, the HD‑RX‑4K‑510‑C‑E can control various devices in a room. The COM (RS-232) port and CEC over the HDMI output can enable the display device to be turned on or off automatically without the use of a control system. With the use of a control system, the IR port can also control the display device. Two relay ports are provided for controlling a projection screen and other low-voltage contact-closure activated equipment. Two Versiport I/O ports enable the integration of devices such as power sensors and motion detectors. An Ethernet port connection to a LAN also provides control by enabling use of the built-in web interface as well as connection to a control system.

NOTE: The IR, COM, and Ethernet ports cannot be used to extend signals over a DM Lite connection.

.AV Framework™ Technology Support
In addition to a built-in web interface and control system programming, the built-in .AV Framework technology of the MPC3-201 and MPC3-302 control systems can be used to control the HD‑RX‑4K‑510‑C‑E as a switcher. (For information about .AV Framework technology, visit www.crestron.com/avframework.)

Crestron XiO Cloud® Service Support
The HD‑RX‑4K‑510‑C‑E is compatible with the Crestron XiO Cloud service, which is an IoT (Internet of Things) based platform for remotely provisioning, monitoring, and managing Crestron devices across an enterprise or an entire client base. The service enables installers and IT managers to deploy and manage thousands of devices in the amount of time it would ordinarily take to manage a single device. For more information, visit www.crestron.com/xiocloud.

Native Integration with Cisco Webex® and Touch 10 Devices
Native integration of the Cisco API enables source inputs of the HD-RX-4K-510-C-E to be added to a compatible Cisco Webex video conference system that is controlled by a Cisco Touch 10 control unit. Eliminating the need for control system programming, integration with Cisco® devices is accomplished by using the Crestron Configuration tool, which is hosted on the Crestron website at configuration.crestron.com. Configuration includes the selection of the desired Crestron and Cisco hardware models and the assignment of HD-RX-4K-510-C-E input names and icons for use on the Cisco Touch 10 screen. The resulting configuration file is then downloaded from the website and loaded to the HD-RX-4K-510-C-E using the HD-RX-4K-510-C-E web interface. Communication is established between the HD-RX-4K-510-C-E and Cisco devices, enabling the Cisco Touch 10 to display and control the additional HD-RX-4K-510-C-E inputs.

Compact Design
Compact in design, the HD‑RX‑4K‑510‑C‑E can be mounted onto a flat surface such as a wall or attached to the underside of a table.
