The DMCF-RX-4K-SFP is a fiber-based receiver card designed to function as part of a Crestron® 4K video signal extender solution. It is used with a companion transmitter (DMF-TX-4K-SFP or DMCF-TX-4K-SFP) to support point-to-point signal extension, and may also be used to add 4K fiber input capability to a DigitalMedia™ switcher (see “DM® Switcher Integration” below for details).
The DMCF-RX-4K-SFP installs in any slot of a DMF-CI-8 card chassis. Its “DM IN” port allows for the insertion of an appropriate SFP+ transceiver module to enable compatibility with multimode or single-mode fiber. It also features a built-in 4K/60 scaler, HDMI® and analog audio outputs, a local HDMI input, and a gigabit Ethernet LAN port.
4K Ultra HD
The DMCF-RX-4K-SFP enables uncompressed 4K/60 video signal extension over fiber optic cable. Support for 4K video ensures support for the latest generation of computers and monitors with native resolutions beyond 1080p and WUXGA. The DMCF-RX-4K-SFP can handle uncompressed Full HD 1080p, Ultra HD, 2K, and 4K video signals with support for Deep Color and HDCP 2.2. Audio capabilities include support for high-bitrate 7.1 audio formats like Dolby® TrueHD, Dolby Atmos®, and DTS-HD Master Audio™ as well as uncompressed linear PCM.
DM® Switcher Integration
The DMCF-RX-4K-SFP works integrally with a DM-MD series matrix switcher to facilitate routing of 4K video and control signals over fiber optic cable. Setup requires simply installing the DMCF-RX-4K-SFP in a DMF-CI-8 card chassis and connecting its HDMI output to an available HDMI input on the switcher. An Ethernet LAN connection is also required to enable communication with the associated control system.
SFP+ Configurable DM Port
The “DM IN” port on the DMCF-RX-4K-SFP is configurable using SFP+ transceiver modules to enable compatibility with multimode or single-mode fiber types.
Local HDMI® Input
In addition to its DM input port, the DMCF-RX-4K-SFP also includes an HDMI input, which can be used to connect any HD or 4K source. Switching between the DM and HDMI inputs can be done automatically using auto-switching mode or programmatically via a Crestron control system.
