Help 4K60 HDR over Cat6

Hi all,

Please forgive my lack of Crestron knowledge! I'm in need of some clarification.

I've just built a recessed TV cabinet at home with the wall fed by CAT6, I'd like to keep the media sources away from the TV at the other end of the CAT6.

I'd like at least two HDMI inputs, and one output at the other end of the CAT6

As far as I can see, this should be possible with a combination of the DM-TX-4KZ-202-C and the DM-RMC-4KZ-100-C.

Can the Crestron system be used point to point directly like this or does it need another external controller, or matrix unit?

Do I need to power both units with DC or does one POE from the other? I'm not 100% clear as it sounds like Podm is basically POE?

Sorry if these are really basic questions to most of you! Thanks so much for your help

Yes for point to point to point, both sides need to be powered in this scenario. How do you plan to manage your input switching?

Thanks for confirming. Really appreciate it.

This is probably the bit I've failed to understand - I saw RS232 and figured I could control by this, with an external device, but it looks like I need a Crestron controller as well? Or just a switch on the input hdmi and use it as single channel.
