Crestron HD-CONV-USB-300 USB Converter with HDMI and Analog Audio Input

About the Crestron HD-CONV-USB-300

The HDMI 2.0 input accepts sources up to 4K UHD at 60 fps with 4:4:4 colour sampling and 12-bit HDR. For USB capture, 4K sources are downscaled automatically to 1080p, and the video is delivered uncompressed at 1080p60 over the USB 3.0 Type-B port. A USB 3.0 Type-B male to Type-A male cable is included.

Audio is captured as stereo 2-channel LPCM, taken either from the HDMI signal or from the 3.5 mm analogue input, with the choice made in the configuration software. An HDMI output provides local viewing or loop-through at up to 4K60 4:4:4 with 12-bit HDR, and both HDMI ports comply with HDCP 2.2 and HDCP 1.x. Indicator LEDs show HDMI source presence, active USB capture and the HDCP version in use.

The converter is powered from the USB bus. It works with USB 3.0 ports, and with USB 2.0 ports when a Y-cable connected to two USB 2.0 ports is used. On USB 3.0 it draws 3.5 W at 1080p60 and 5.0 W with a 4K60 4:4:4 source. The black steel housing measures 116 mm high, 128 mm wide and 25 mm deep, and can stand freely, be surface mounted or attach to a rack rail.
