About the Crestron DM-RMC-4KZ-100-C DigitalMedia 8G+® 4K60 4:4:4 HDR Receiver
The Crestron DM-RMC-4KZ-100-C is a high-performance, wall-plate or in-wall mounted DigitalMedia receiver designed to serve as the endpoint in a Crestron DM distributed AV system. It is engineered to receive an uncompressed 4K audio/video signal, along with bidirectional control data, from a DM transmitter or switcher over a single CATx cable using Crestron's DM 8G+ transmission technology. This receiver decodes the signal and outputs pristine 4K video at 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling and support for HDR (High Dynamic Range) formats, ensuring the highest possible image quality for detailed graphics, video, and gaming content. Its compact form factor allows for discreet installation behind a display or within a wall box, providing a clean, professional finish without visible equipment.
A key feature of this model is its integration of a powerful scaling engine, allowing it to accept any input resolution from the DM network and scale it to match the native resolution of the connected display, optimizing image quality. It also includes extensive audio capabilities, extracting embedded audio from the video stream and outputting it via HDMI, as well as providing analog stereo outputs. The "C" designation indicates it is part of the commercial series, featuring robust construction and advanced control integration. It supports bidirectional RS-232, IR, and Ethernet pass-through, enabling a central control system to manage both the source equipment and the display from a single interface. The receiver can be powered via Power over DigitalMedia (PoDM) from the DM switch or locally, offering installation flexibility.
The value of the DM-RMC-4KZ-100-C lies in its role as a critical, high-fidelity endpoint in a scalable, enterprise-grade AV distribution network. It enables the creation of clean, centralized systems where all source equipment is located in a secure rack, and only thin, low-cost CAT cables run to each display location. This simplifies cabling, reduces installation costs, and enhances system reliability and manageability. For system integrators designing corporate, education, or hospitality environments, this receiver provides a future-proof solution that delivers exceptional 4K HDR performance while integrating seamlessly into the broader Crestron ecosystem for complete room control and automation.
