Overview
Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer VP-440X 4K Presentation Switcher / Scaler.
VP-440X is a high-performance 18G 4K HDR presentation switcher/scaler with four HDMI™
inputs and one computer graphics (VGA) input. It scales the video, embeds the audio, and
outputs the signal to two identical outputs – one HDMI and one HDBaseT – together with an
analog stereo audio output. Via HDBaseT, it extends video signals to up to 40m (130ft) over
CAT copper cables at up to 4K@60Hz (4:2:0) 24bpp video resolution and provides even
further reach for lower HD video resolutions.
VP-440X provides exceptional quality, advanced and user-friendly operation, and flexible
control.
Exceptional Quality
• High-Performance Professional Scaler – Up-scales, down-scales and cross-scales up to
resolutions of 4K@60 (4:4:4). The output resolution can be set to the native resolution of
either of the sinks, or manually set to another resolution. When the product is configured
to scale to 18G resolutions (4K@60 4:4:4), the HDBT output automatically
down-samples the 4K chroma sampling to 4:2:0 coding.
• Smooth Switching – Constant output sync, prevents output glitches while switching
between inputs, even when no video is detected.
• Powerful Audio Processing – Supports DSP technology including audio equalization,
mixing, delay, and microphone talk-over (ducking).
• HDMI Signal Extension – HDCP 2.2 and HDCP 1.4 compliant.
• HDR10 support.
• EDID Pass-Through – EDID passed through from the source to the display.
• CEC Support – Supports passing of CEC from input to output. Automatically sends CEC
commands to shut down the output display after a timeout period when no input signal is
found and to power up the display when the input returns.
• Easy Installation – Half 19” size enables mounting in a 1U rack space with the
recommended rack adapter.
