About the Crestron HD-MD6X2-4K

It handles Full HD 1080p, Ultra HD, 2K and 4K video with HDCP, 3D and Deep Color, and passes Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD and uncompressed 7.1 linear PCM audio. Inputs are compatible with DVI and DisplayPort Multimode sources, which suits computers and monitors running above 1080p and WUXGA as well as UHD and 4K DCI displays and sources.

Crestron QuickSwitch HD technology manages HDCP keys so that switching stays fast and reliable, without display blackouts caused by key authentication. QuickSwitch HD needs a scaling HDMI output, such as the one on DigitalMedia devices like the DM-RMC-4KZ-SCALER-C and DMC-4KZ-HDO. Built-in EDID tools let you check each connected device's format and resolution capabilities and set up custom configurations.

Set-up is simplified by the front panel OLED display or a web browser, and the high-speed Ethernet LAN connection carries native Crestron control. As a standalone switcher it needs no control system, but it can also sit within a fully integrated Crestron system. This page covers the HD-MD6X2-4K-E part number.

What does QuickSwitch HD do on the HD-MD6X2-4K-E?

QuickSwitch HD is Crestron technology that manages HDCP keys so switching is fast and reliable and displays do not black out while keys are authenticated. It requires a scaling HDMI output, as found on DigitalMedia devices such as the DM-RMC-4KZ-SCALER-C and DMC-4KZ-HDO.

How is EDID handled?

The switcher has comprehensive built-in EDID configuration tools, so each source can be shown at its optimal resolution and format. For custom set-ups, the tools allow each connected device's format and resolution capabilities to be assessed before choosing the EDID to use.

How much is the Crestron HD-MD6X2-4K?
