About the Crestron HD-RXCA-4KZ-101

Video arrives at up to 4K60 4:4:4 with HDR10, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, with HDCP 2.3 and EDID and CEC passed through. Range is up to 40 m (130 ft) for UHD and 4K, or up to 70 m (230 ft) for 1080p, WUXGA and 2K. The link needs CAT5e or higher cable, such as Crestron DM-CBL-8G or DM-CBL-ULTRA, sold separately.

Audio is de-embedded to a stereo analogue output with 24-bit 48 kHz conversion, a 20 Hz to 20 kHz response within ±0.5 dB and a signal to noise ratio above 95 dB. A TOSLINK S/PDIF optical input accepts Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, DTS, DTS-ES or LPCM up to 6 channels for audio return to the HD-TXCA-4KZ-101. RS-232 (TD/RD, up to 115.2k baud) and IR (up to 60 kHz) pass in both directions.

The included PW-2420RU power pack provides 24 VDC from a 100 to 240 VAC supply. The compact black metal chassis has vented sides and two mounting brackets, so it can be freestanding, surface mounted or fixed to a single rack rail. It measures 105 mm high, 106 mm wide and 27 mm deep, with a yellow shielded RJ-45 for the DM Essentials input.

Questions about the Crestron HD-RXCA-4KZ-101

What is the Crestron HD-RXCA-4KZ-101?

It is a DM Essentials 4K60 4:4:4 receiver for HDMI, RS-232, IR and analogue audio. It works with a DM Essentials transmitter or DMPS Essentials switcher over CAT5e or higher cable, outputs HDMI plus a stereo analogue audio signal, and has an optical input for audio return.

What is the difference between the HD-RXCA-4KZ-101 and HD-RXC-4KZ-101?

Both are DM Essentials 4K60 4:4:4 receivers for HDMI, RS-232 and IR. The HD-RXCA-4KZ-101 adds analogue audio de-embedding to a stereo output and an S/PDIF optical input for audio return to the HD-TXCA-4KZ-101 transmitter. Size, range and the included PW-2420RU power pack are the same.

What can the optical input on the HD-RXCA-4KZ-101 do?

The TOSLINK S/PDIF optical input provides audio return to the HD-TXCA-4KZ-101 transmitter, so digital audio from the display end can travel back over the DM Essentials link. It accepts Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, DTS, DTS-ES and LPCM up to 6 channels.

How far can it be from the transmitter?

Up to 40 m (130 ft) for UHD and 4K signals, or up to 70 m (230 ft) for 1080p, WUXGA and 2K signals. A CAT5e or higher twisted pair cable is needed; Crestron names its DM-CBL-8G and DM-CBL-ULTRA cables, which are sold separately.

How is it powered and mounted?

It comes with a PW-2420RU power pack (100 to 240 VAC in, 24 VDC out). The black metal chassis with vented sides includes two mounting brackets and can be freestanding, surface mounted or attached to a single rack rail. It measures 105 mm high, 106 mm wide and 27 mm deep.

How much is the Crestron HD-RXCA-4KZ-101?

Crestron asks its dealers to give the price of the HD-RXCA-4KZ-101 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.
