Exceptional Quality
• High Performance Extender Distributor – High-quality professional 1:8 distribution of
native extended-reach HDBaseT signals, for deploying mid-way between an AV source
and multiple remote displays and gaining extra extended-reach extension. It is coupled
with both sides, input and output, extension of a maximum 4K@60Hz (4:2:0) 24bpp
video resolution signal to maximum 100m (330ft) extended-reach over CAT copper
cable, and even further reach for lower HD video resolution. The extender distributor is
standard and capable of being connected to any market-available HDBaseT compliant
extending product.
• I-EDIDPro™ Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing™ – An intelligent EDID handling,
processing and pass-through algorithm that ensures Plug and Play operation for HDMI
source and display systems.
• Audio De-embedding (Extraction) – The transmitted digital audio signal is converted to
an analog signal and de-embedded to stereo unbalanced analog audio output. This
enables user-selectable de-embedding of input digital audio to play at local hi-quality
speakers separate from a remote receiver-connected AV sink device, such as a TV
display or audio speakers, to provide higher quality audio playback.
Advanced and User-friendly Operation
• HDMI Signal Extension – HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 1.4 compliant signal, supporting deep
color, x.v.Color™, lip sync, 7.1 PCM, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, 2K, 4K, and 3D. EDID
signals are passed through from the source to the display.
• Bidirectional RS-232 Extension – Serial interface data flows in both directions, on each
extension line, enabling data transmission and control of devices.
• Bidirectional Infrared Extension – IR interface data flows in both directions, on each
extension line, enabling remote control of peripheral devices located at either end of the
extended line.
• For VM-218DTxr only, Ethernet Extension – Ethernet interface data flows in both
directions on each extension line, enabling extension of up to 100Mbps Ethernet
connectivity for LAN communication and control of devices.
• Cost-effective Maintenance – Status LED indicators for HDMI and HDBT ports to
facilitate easy local maintenance and troubleshooting.
• Remote IP device management via built-in web pages or RS-232 control connection.
• Simple System Management – Remote system management support to enable quick
and efficient remote system and device life-cycle management.
• Easy operation and control using front panel buttons, or remotely via the Embedded web
pages.
• Local and remote firmware upgrade via mini-USB, control RS-232 or Ethernet
connection and the K-Upload tool to ensure long field-proven deployment.
