Crestron starts shipping what it claims is the industry's first (and only) end-to-end 4K distribution system-- the new distribution products in the DigitalMedia product portfolio.

The lineup is upgradeable to handle HDCP 2.2 content-protection technology.

“DigitalMedia is more than "4k ready"; it’s 4K already,” the company says. ”In fact, DM was built to handle 4K since our very first 8X8 switcher. While others are "getting ready," we’re shipping a complete 4K solution today."

The DM products in question are the DMC-4K-HD input card, DMC-4K-HD-DSP input card, Type 8 DMCO output cards, DM-RMC-4K-100-C DM receiver, DMB-4K-I-HD input blade, DMB-4K-O-C output blade,  HD-EXT3-C extender, HD-XSPA AVR with integrated DM receiver, HD-RX3-C receiver and HD-TX3-C transmitter.

Installers can also upgrade current card-based DM systems by simply swapping out cards and receivers, and Crestron even ships 4K replacements in advance.
