DM Lite receiver or DMPS Lite switcher
The HD-TX-4KZ-421-CHGR is a DM Lite® 4K60 4:4:4
transmitter designed to interoperate with a DM Lite® receiver
or DMPS Lite™ switcher. The paired transmitter and receiver
enable extension of HDMI® or USB-C® DisplayPort™ AV
signals. This is useful in applications where an AV source is
located remotely from its destination, such as a display,
projector, or codec solution. A CAT5e or higher twisted pair
cable must used to connect the HD-TX-4KZ-421-CHGR to the
DM Lite receiver or DMPS Lite switcher.1
Interoperability with a DM Lite Receiver or DMPS Lite
Switcher
The DM Lite output port of the HD-TX-4KZ-421-CHGR must
be connected to a DM Lite input port of a DM Lite 4K60 4:4:4
receiver, DM Lite 4K60 4:2:0 receiver, or DMPS Lite switcher.
The HD-TX-4KZ-421-CHGR can be configured and controlled
only when it is used with a DMPS Lite switcher. The web
interface of the switcher can be used to configure the
HD-TX-4KZ-421-CHGR. Inaddition, control system
programming and .AV Framework™ software support of the
HD-TX-4KZ-421-CHGR is hosted by the switcher.
4K60 4:4:4 and HDR Support
The HD-TX-4KZ-421-CHGR supports video resolutions up to
4K60 with 4:4:4 color sampling. HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby
Vision® video formats are also supported.2
Automatic Switching of Inputs
When the HD-TX-4KZ-421-CHGR is used with a DMPS Lite
switcher, the web interface of the switcher or control system
programming hosted by the switcher can be used to configure
AV switching behavior. Switching among the HDMI and
USB-C DisplayPort inputs occurs based on the last connected
input or on the routing priority assigned to each input. In
addition, input selection push buttons on the front panel of
the HD-TX-4KZ-421-CHGR enable the desired input to be
selected manually.
USB-C DisplayPort Inputs with Charging Capability
When the HD-TX-4KZ-421-CHGR is powered by the included
power pack, each USB-C DisplayPort input can charge a
connected AV source such as a laptop with up to 60W of
power. If the HD-TX-4KZ-421-CHGR is powered by a remote
DM Lite receiver or DMPS Lite switcher, no charging capability
is provided by the USB-C inputs.
Compact, Surface-Mountable Design
Compact in design, the HD-TX-4KZ-421-CHGR can be
mounted onto a flat surface such as the underside of a table,
behind a credenza, or inside a podium. It can also be attached
to a single rack rail in the back of an equipment cabinet.
TheHD-TX-4KZ-421-CHGR can receive power from the
included power pack or from the remote DM Lite receiver or
DMPS Lite switcher.3

Notes:
1. For DM Lite connections, use Crestron DM-CBL-8G, Crestron
DM-CBL-ULTRA, or third-party CAT5e or higher cable. For information
about the maximum transmission distance for each cable type, refer to
Online Help Answer ID 1001567.
To safeguard against unpredictable environmental electrical noise that
may impact performance at resolutions above 1080p, shielded cable and
connectors are recommended for all applications and are required when
bundling multiple cables in a wire run. Cables are sold separately.
2. For HDMI inputs, 4K60 4:4:4 performance and HDR support require the use
of HDMI cables and couplers with a minimum TMDS bandwidth of
18Gbps. If 4K60 4:2:0 or 4K30 4:4:4 performance is acceptable, cables and
couplers with a minimum bandwidth of 10.2 Gbps may be used. Bandwidth
loss is cumulative; therefore, performance may be reduced when inserting
multiple cables and couplers inline.
For USB-C DisplayPort inputs, 4K60 4:4:4 performance and HDR support
require the use of USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) cables with support for
DisplayPort Alt Mode (DisplayPort 1.4 video, 4K60 4:4:4, 2 lanes). Cables
are sold separately.
3. When a surface-mountable DM Lite transmitter is paired with a
surface-mountable DM Lite receiver, either the power pack included with
the transmitter or the receiver can be used to power both devices. A power
pack must not be connected to both devices simultaneously.
When a surface-mountable DM Lite transmitter is paired with a wall plate
DM Lite receiver, the power pack included with the transmitter is used to
power both devices.
When a DM Lite transmitter is paired with a DMPS Lite switcher, the
switcher provides power to the DM Lite transmitter. The DM Lite
transmitter must not be connected to the included power pack.
4. The HDMI input requires an appropriate adapter or interface cable to
accommodate a Dual-Mode DisplayPort or DVI signal. CBL-HD-DVI
interface cables are sold separately.
5. In order for a USB-C DisplayPort input to charge the connected AV source,
the HD-TX-4KZ-421-CHGR must be powered by the included power pack. If
the HD-TX-4KZ-421-CHGR is powered by a remote DM Lite receiver or
DMPS Lite switcher, no charging capability is provided by a USB-C input.
CBL-USB3G1-C-C-6 and CBL-USB3G2-C-C-3 cables are sold separately.
