HD Signal Extender
A single CAT type cable (sold separately) links the HD-MD-400-C-E
transmitter and receiver together. This cable can be up to 230 feet
(70 meters) in length, offering an ideal signal extender solution for virtually
any room with a single table or podium and one display device.

HD Scaler
One might assume that any modern display device should support
whatever sources you connect to it. In fact, many displays just can’t
handle all the different formats and resolutions you’re likely to encounter
day-to-day in a dynamic presentation environment. With its built-in
professional scaler, the HD-MD-400-C-E enables support for a complete
range of digital and analog signals, ensuring that every source displays
reliably and beautifully. Automatic calibration is achieved using the
display’s EDID
[7]
— just connect the receiver to the display and it
intelligently converts and enhances the signal for optimal appearance on
the display screen.
EDID Format Management
To ensure that every source gets displayed at its optimal resolution and
format, the HD-MD-400-C-E provides comprehensive management of
the EDID information that passes between the display, scaler, and source
devices. Most applications require no changes to the default settings. For
applications requiring custom configuration, the HD-MD-400-C-E allows
for easy assessment of each device’s format and resolution capabilities,
with the ability to configure signals appropriately for the most desirable
and predictable behavior.
QuickSwitch HD
™
Technology
Handling digital media signals means handling HDCP (High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection), the encryption scheme used by content
providers to protect their DVDs, Blu-ray
™
discs, and broadcast signals
against unauthorized copying. Viewing HDCP encrypted content requires a
source device to “authenticate” each display and signal processor in the
system and issue it a “key” before delivering an output signal. Crestron
QuickSwitch HD manages these keys to ensure fast, reliable switching and
immunity to “blackouts.”
Audio Extracting
Its analog audio output allows the HD-MD-400-C-E to extract the stereo
audio signal from digital sources to feed a sound bar, amplified speakers,
or a separate sound system.

Embedded Device Control
To deliver fully automatic operation of the complete system, the
HD-MD-400-C-E can turn the display device on and off via its HDMI
connection using CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) commands, or via
the built-in RS-232 port.
[8]
For advanced applications using a Crestron
control system, all of the HD-MD-400-C-E’s HDMI and RS-232 ports can
be utilized to attain fully-programmable control of the display, sources, and
other devices in the room.
