Description
A high-performance rack-mountable 4K60 4:4:4 presentation system with out-of-the-box functionality. Provides six HDMI® and two DM Lite® inputs, one mirrored HDMI and DM Lite output with 4K60 scaler, and analog audio inputs and outputs. Includes support of HDR (High Dynamic Range) and Dolby Vision® video formats, audio mixing, advanced EDID management, XiO Cloud® connectivity, and enterprise-grade security.
4K60 4:4:4 and HDR Support
The HDMI ports support video resolutions up to 4K60 with 4:4:4 color sampling. HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision® video formats are also supported. The DM Lite ports support a maximum resolution of 4K60 4:4:4 up to 130 ft (40 m) and 1080p60 4:4:4 up to 230 ft (70 m).
Out-of-the-Box Functionality
Features such as automatic switching of inputs, automatic display control, and direct integration with occupancy sensors enable simple setup for many applications without the need for control system programming.
Enterprise-Grade Security
The HD‑PS621 includes advanced security features and protocols. Using 802.1X authentication, Active Directory® credential management, PKI authentication, TLS, SSH, and HTTPS, the HD‑PS621 provides a true enterprise-grade AV switcher.
Automatic Switching of Inputs
Automatic switching among the DM Lite and HDMI inputs can occur based on the last connected input or on the routing priority assigned to each input. Switching behavior is configurable using the web interface and is also programmable using a Crestron control system. In addition, input selection push buttons on the front panel of the HD‑PS621 enable the desired inputs to be selected manually.
HDBaseT® Certification of DM Lite Output
The DM Lite output is designed using HDBaseT Alliance specifications, ensuring interoperability with other HDBaseT certified devices. The DM Lite output can be connected directly to an HDBaseT device.
4K60 4:4:4 Video Scaler
The mirrored HDMI and DM Lite output shares a single 4K60 4:4:4 video scaler. By default, input resolutions are automatically scaled to match the native resolution of the display device, resulting in optimal image quality. The video scaler can be enabled or disabled using the web interface or a control system.
Text Overlay, Image Overlay, and Background Image
When the video scaler is enabled, text overlay, image overlay, and a background image can be displayed on-screen if desired. Text overlay can be used to display dynamic or fixed text for purposes such as labeling the video source or displaying special instructions, schedules, announcements, alerts, or other messaging. An image such as a logo or photo can be uploaded and then used for image overlay on top of active video content. An image can also be uploaded and then used as a background image whenever active video content is not being displayed.
EDID Management
The HD‑PS621 provides comprehensive management of EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) to ensure that every source is displayed at the optimal resolution and format. For applications requiring a custom configuration, the HD‑PS621 enables assessment of the format and resolution capabilities of any device that is connected to the HDMI output of the HD‑PS621. The HD‑PS621 provides the ability to configure signals appropriately for the most desirable and predictable behavior.
Audio Mixing with Audio Embedding and De-embedding
The HD‑PS621 provides three independent audio mixers for three outputs. For the mirrored HDMI and DM Lite output, the HD‑PS621 provides a 9-channel audio mixer. Embedded HDMI LPCM stereo audio can be extracted from the selected HDMI or DM Lite input and combined with the eight mono analog audio inputs (MIC/LINE CH1-CH2 and LINE INPUT CH3-CH8). Gain and mute sound adjustments can be made to each of the nine inputs being mixed.
For each of the two AUX outputs, the HD‑PS621 provides a 9‑channel audio mixer. Embedded HDMI LPCM stereo audio can be extracted from the selected HDMI or DM Lite input for the mirrored HDMI and DM Lite output and combined with the eight mono analog audio inputs (MIC/LINE CH1-CH2 and LINE INPUT CH3-CH8). Gain and mute sound adjustments can be made to each of the nine inputs being mixed.
Volume and mute control are configurable for each mirrored HDMI and DM Lite output and AUX audio output independently.
USB Power Port
A USB power port is included on the HD‑PS621 to power USB powered devices (500mA maximum).
Device Control via CEC, IR, or RS-232
CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) over the HDMI output can enable a display device to be turned on or off automatically without the use of a control system. Under the management of a control system, CEC over the HDMI inputs can control source devices.
When connected to a compatible DM Lite receiver (HD-RX-101-C-E, HD-RX-101-C-1G-E, HD-RXC-101-C-E, or HD-RXC-101-C-1G-E), the DM Lite output port can control a display device without the use of a control system. The DM Lite output port can output CEC display control when connected to an HD-RX-101-C-E or HD-RX-101-C-1G-E receiver. When connected to an HD-RXC-101-C-E or HD-RXC-101-C-1G-E receiver, the DM Lite output port can output CEC, IR, or RS‑232 display control. Under the management of a control system, the DM Lite output port can output CEC and RS‑232 control to an HDBaseT device.
The HD‑PS621 also includes support for Crestron Certified Drivers. CEC and IP drivers can be used for the HDMI and DM Lite output ports to provide automatic display control without the use of a control system.
Built-In Web Interface
Configuration of the HD‑PS621 can be accomplished by using the built-in web interface. The configuration of a single device can be downloaded to a computer or mobile device and then uploaded to multiple HD‑PS621 units to simplify system installation.
1 RU Rack-Mountable Design
The HD‑PS621 can be mounted into a 19-inch EIA equipment rack using the included rack mount brackets. The device occupies 1 RU of rack space.
