About Kramer Electronics VP-8x4AK

Under the hood of the VP-8x4AK lies a robust matrix switcher engineered for superior performance with computer graphics video signals, accommodating resolutions that meet and surpass UXGA standards. This versatile device is adept at handling unbalanced stereo audio signals, seamlessly routing any combination of inputs and outputs to suit your complex AV needs.

The VP-8x4AK boasts an impressive High Bandwidth capacity of 360MHz (-3dB), ensuring that high-resolution video signals are transmitted with fidelity and precision. With the inclusion of Kramer's Kr-isp Advanced Sync Processing technology, this switcher guarantees compatibility with a broad spectrum of computers. This is achieved by revitalizing the sync signal waveform, even in instances where the sync level is suboptimal, thus providing a reliable solution for various computer graphics video requirements.

One of the standout features of the VP-8x4AK is its ability to store multiple switch configurations as presets. These can be easily recalled and executed on demand, enhancing the efficiency of your AV setup. The intuitive 'Take Button' simplifies operations by allowing the execution of multiple switches simultaneously, streamlining the management of complex input and output combinations.

The VP-8x4AK is designed with user-friendly Active Input Indication Reporting, which adds a layer of convenience for operators. Each input button on the front panel is equipped with an automatic illumination feature that activates when a video signal is detected, providing at-a-glance verification of active inputs.

For environments where seamless transitions between non-genlocked sources are paramount, the VP-8x4AK offers a Delayed Switching Mode. This feature allows for glitch-free switching by customizing the transition time of a switch from 0 to 3.5 seconds, thereby ensuring smooth and uninterrupted video playback.

Audio management is made effortless with individual Audio Level Controls for each input and output, granting precise control over audio signal strength and quality.

Flexibility in control is a key advantage of the VP-8x4AK, offering a multitude of control options to cater to different user preferences and scenarios. These include direct manipulation via the front panel, RS-232 with the included K-Router Windows-based software, RS-485, Ethernet, and an IR remote for remote operation. Additionally, an embedded Web page provides an alternative control interface for network-based management.

The VP-8x4AK is designed with a Worldwide Power Supply, accepting a range of 100-240V AC, making it a reliable choice for international use in various professional settings. Whether in broadcast studios, conference rooms, or educational facilities, this matrix switcher stands as a testament to high-quality AV signal management and versatility.
