About Kramer Electronics VM-218DTxr

Experience the VM-218DTxr, a state-of-the-art 4K60 4:2:0 HDMI and Extended-Reach HDBaseT distribution amplifier designed to meet the needs of professional AV setups requiring high-quality, reliable signal distribution. This robust unit is engineered to handle 4K at 60Hz video signals over extended distances, ensuring that your content is delivered with the clarity and precision that high-resolution displays demand.

The VM-218DTxr boasts a versatile input system, allowing users to choose between an HDMI or an extended-reach HDBaseT input. This flexibility ensures compatibility with a wide range of source devices. Once the signal is received, the unit equalizes and reclocks it to maintain integrity before distributing it to eight identical extended-reach HDBaseT outputs. Each output is equipped with Ethernet, RS-232, and IR control signals, providing comprehensive connectivity options for complex installations.

In addition to its distribution capabilities, the VM-218DTxr includes a loop HDMI output, which is invaluable for monitoring purposes or for cascading signals to additional distribution amplifiers. This feature enhances the unit's utility in large-scale deployments, allowing for the expansion of AV systems without compromising signal quality.

Audio de-embedding is another key feature of the VM-218DTxr. The unit is capable of extracting digital audio signals and converting them to analog stereo outputs. This allows for high-quality audio playback through local speakers, independent of the remote display's audio system, ensuring an immersive auditory experience wherever it's needed.

The VM-218DTxr is designed for high performance and reliability, supporting HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 1.4 compliance. It is capable of transmitting deep color, x.v.Color, lip sync, and high-definition audio formats such as 7.1 PCM, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD. Additionally, it supports 2K, 4K, and 3D video formats, with EDID signals passed through seamlessly from source to display.

Kramer's I-EDIDPro Intelligent EDID Processing technology is integrated into the VM-218DTxr, ensuring hassle-free plug-and-play operation for HDMI sources and display systems. This intelligent algorithm simplifies setup and eliminates common compatibility issues between devices.

For optimal performance, the VM-218DTxr can extend signals up to 100 meters (330 feet) over CAT copper cables, with even greater reach for lower HD video resolutions. This makes it an ideal solution for applications that require signal distribution over long distances, such as large venues, educational institutions, and corporate environments.

The VM-218DTxr is also designed with cost-effective maintenance in mind. Status LED indicators for HDMI and HDBT ports allow for straightforward local maintenance and troubleshooting. Remote IP device management is possible through built-in web pages or an RS-232 control connection, and firmware upgrades can be performed locally or remotely to ensure the unit's longevity and performance.

Installation is made easy with the use of twisted-pair cables for HDBaseT signal wiring. The unit's rack-mountable enclosure fits into a 1U rack space and includes rack ears for secure and professional integration into AV racks.

For those seeking a reliable and high-performing distribution solution, the VM-218DTxr stands out as a top-tier choice for distributing and extending 4K video signals with precision and ease.
