About the Crestron DM-EXT-1021
The kit contains the HD-TXC-4KZ-101 transmitter and the HD-RX-4K-210-C-E receiver. One HDMI source connects to the transmitter and a second to the HDMI input on the receiver, which switches between them automatically or manually, with audio following video. The receiver's 4K scaler then feeds the display through its HDMI output. Video, audio and power all travel over one CAT5e or higher twisted pair cable.
Cable runs can reach 70 m (230 ft) for resolutions up to 2K, or 40 m (130 ft) for higher resolutions up to 4K. Video is supported up to 4K60 with 4:2:0 colour sampling, and 1080p60 at 4:4:4. EDID and HDCP 2.2 are managed and CEC is supported. Stereo audio can be de-embedded to an analogue line-level output, with independent mute for the HDMI and analogue outputs.
For control there are IR, RS-232, relay and I/O ports, and 100/1000 Ethernet with web browser setup. Two power packs are included, the PW-2420RU and PW-2412WU, and either one will power both the transmitter and the receiver. Typical consumption is 14.8 W. The metal chassis has a black finish and two mounting flanges for surface or rack rail mounting.

Questions about the Crestron DM-EXT-1021
What is in the Crestron DM-EXT-1021 KIT?
The kit pairs an HD-TXC-4KZ-101 transmitter with an HD-RX-4K-210-C-E receiver, plus the PW-2420RU and PW-2412WU power packs. Together they switch between two HDMI sources, scale the picture for the display and extend video, audio and power over one CATx cable.
How far can the DM-EXT-1021 extend HDMI?
Over CAT5e or higher twisted pair cable, it reaches up to 70 m (230 ft) for resolutions up to 2K, and up to 40 m (130 ft) for higher resolutions up to 4K. Video, audio and power all travel over the same cable between the transmitter and receiver.
How does input switching work?
The system is a 2x1 switcher: one HDMI input on the transmitter and one on the receiver feed a single HDMI output at the receiver. It can switch automatically or manually, and audio follows the selected video source. The 4K scaler then matches the output to the display.
What resolutions does the DM-EXT-1021 support?
It handles 4K60 video with 4:2:0 colour sampling, 4K at 30 Hz with 4:4:4, and 1080p60 at 4:4:4 with 36 bit colour. Inputs accept HDMI with Deep Color and 4K, and are compatible with DVI and Dual-Mode DisplayPort sources. HDCP 2.2 and EDID are managed.
How is the kit powered?
Two power packs are included, the PW-2420RU and PW-2412WU, each taking 100 to 240 VAC and giving 24 VDC. Either one will power both the transmitter and receiver, because power is carried over the CATx cable along with video and audio. Typical consumption is 14.8 W.
How much is the Crestron DM-EXT-1021?
Crestron asks its dealers to give the price of the DM-EXT-1021 directly rather than publish it online. Add it to your quote list and we will send you a written quote, with delivery, and installation and programming if you need them.

Yes. Everything we supply is new, genuine Crestron with Crestron's standard warranty. If the DM-EXT-1021 develops a fault, contact us and we will handle the claim with Crestron. If we installed it, our workmanship is guaranteed for the lifetime of the system.
Is the DM-EXT-1021 in stock?
We order Crestron for each quote, so availability depends on Crestron's stock at the time. We check it before we quote and put the expected delivery date on your quote, so you know where you stand before you pay.
