Kramer AV VP-8x4AK

The VP-8x4AK from Kramer is a high-quality matrix switcher for computer graphics video signals, with resolutions that exceed UXGA, and unbalanced stereo audio signals. This device has the ability to route any or all of the inputs to any or all of the outputs simultaneously and converts the audio to balanced stereo audio outputs. It is HDTV compatible and has a high bandwidth of 360MHz. The ideal uses for the VP-8x4AK are in professional display systems requiring true 4×8 matrix operation, and is also great in multimedia/presentation source and acceptor selection applications.

With the VP-8x4AK being a true 8×8 matrix it contains 8 UXGA inputs, and 4 UXGA outputs all on 15-pin HD connectors. Other features of the VP-8x4AK include delayed switching which is available up to a 3.5s (user selectable) delay for seamless switching when switching between non-genlocked sources. A “take button” can execute multiple switches at the same time, and memory locations can store multiple switches as presets to be recalled and executed as needed. This device also has a front-panel control lockout feature to prevent unwanted tampering. Additionally there is a active input indication reporting feature where each input button on the front panel automatically lights up when the unit detects a video signal on that input, or when an input is selected for switching, the button changes to a different color to indicate it is the active input.

Kramer’s Kr-isp Advanced Sync Processing ensures compatibility with a wide range of computers (even if the sync level is too low) by restoring the sync signal waveform.

With flexible control options through the front panel, RS-485, RS-232 (K-Router Windows-based software is included) Ethernet, or the included IR remote control, as well as audio level controls for each input and output. The VP-8x4AK from Kramer can handle all you computer graphic and audio switching needs for smaller professional display systems, in high-performance type environments.
