Kramer VS-88H2A 8x8 4K60 HDMI Matrix with Audio Breakaway Routing

VS-88H2A is a high-quality matrix with eight HDMI inputs independently routable to eight HDMI outputs. Integrated audio matrix, with matrix eight audio input and eight audio output ports, enable independent and flexible audio and ARC extraction, insertion and routing between any HDMI and audio ports. Flexible and Safe Matrix Routing - Clean switching between inputs, with smooth and safe transition between presented content on displays, for convenient presentation experience of end-users. Auto Switcher Ease of Use - Automatically plays the switched source signal on the connected display according to user-configured preferences, such as priority or last-connected input. HDMI Signal Switching - HDCP 2.2 compliant, supporting deep color, ARC, up to 7.1 uncompressed audio channels, and 3D, as specified in HDMI 2.0. I-EDIDPro Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing - Individual EDID management per input for flexibly capturing and storing EDID from output-connected displays or custom files. Intelligent EDID handling and processing ensures plug & play operation for HDMI source and display systems. Independent Audio Breakaway and Routing - The digital audio signals passing through to the selectable outputs, and ARC (Audio Return Channel) signals from the output-connected displays, are extracted, converted to analog audio signals, and input to the built-in audio matrix. Flexible matrix routing enables insertion of any audio input signal, either the breakaway input signals or from the matrix input ports, to any AV matrix output port or audio matrix analog balanced ports. This allows playing the audio on a locally connected professional audio system (such as DSP) and speakers, in parallel to playing it on the speakers connected to the AV acceptor devices (such as TVs with speakers). Simple Control - Remote IP-controller connection, browser operation webpage, or local panel buttons, and multiple preset configurations, for easy and fully flexible user ports selection, signals routing, and matrix control. Secured Web-UI Operation - User credentials authentication for secured web-UI access and operation. Comprehensive Management - Local panel-button operation, remote IP-driven firmware upgrade and management via user-friendly embedded web pages, built-in test video patterns for outputs and displays diagnostics, and remote IP or local serial service and management via API commands and responses communication, for flexible service options and ensure lasting, field proven deployment. Easy and Elegant Installation - 19" enclosure for rack mounting in a 1U rack space with included rack ears and universal 100-240V AC power supply.
