About Kramer Electronics VP-16X18AK

Bring sophistication and efficiency to your professional audio and video setup with the VP-16X18AK 16x18 Computer Graphics Video & Balanced/Unbalanced Stereo Audio Matrix Switcher. This advanced matrix switcher is designed to handle computer graphics video up to UXGA and unbalanced stereo audio signals with high performance and reliability.

The VP-16X18AK offers a high bandwidth of 420MHz (-3dB), making it HDTV compatible and suitable for high-quality video production. It features automatic input detection, lighting up green when a live connection is detected, ensuring seamless operation.

This high-quality matrix switcher also boasts audio breakaway switching and audio level gain controls for unbalanced stereo inputs, providing you with complete control over your audio setup. The convenient 'Take Button' allows for the execution of multiple switches simultaneously, enhancing efficiency.

The VP-16X18AK is designed to fit a standard 19" rack mount size, with rack "ears" included for easy installation. It also features Kr-isp Advanced Sync Processing, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of computers, even if the sync level is too low, by restoring the sync signal waveform.

This sophisticated switcher also offers multiple memory locations, storing up to 12 multiple switches as presets that can be recalled and executed when needed. The delayed switching mode allows for glitch-free switching of non-genlocked sources by setting the transition time of a switch from 0 to 3.5 seconds.

With the Audio-Follows-Video feature, the VP-16X18AK automatically switches the stereo audio signal with the video signal when switching the active input to the output. The I-EDIDPro Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing ensures Plug and Play operation for HDMI systems.

The VP-16X18AK offers flexible control options, including front panel buttons, an IR remote with a transmitter or optional remote extension cable, RS-232 & RS-485, and Ethernet with a Web browser.
