Recycling Kramer Products
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC aims to reduce
the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration by requiring it to be collected
and recycled. To comply with the WEEE Directive, Kramer Electronics has made
arrangements with the European Advanced Recycling Network (EARN) and will cover any
costs of treatment, recycling and recovery of waste Kramer Electronics branded equipment on
arrival at the EARN facility. For details of Kramer’s recycling arrangements in your particular
country go to our recycling pages at www.kramerav.com/support/recycling.
Overview
Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer VP-475UX 12G SDI to HDMI Scaler/Converter.
VP-475UX is a high-performance, dual channel scaler and format converter for SDI video
signals of up to 12G data rate. With its integrated dual scaler, it converts the 12G SDI video
signals from its two input channels (with embedded audio) to two 4K@60Hz (4:4:4) HDMI™
outputs, along with de-embedding the audio signals and sending them to the analog audio
output ports.
Exceptional Quality
• High Performance, Scaled Video Conversion – A high performance, low latency video
processing SDI to HDMI converter, with integrated signal resolution scaler, that converts
up to 12G multi-rate SDI signals to HDMI signals, flexibly scaling to a maximum
resolution of 4K@60 (4:4:4) 18G data rate signals, independent per each channel.
• SDI Multi Rate Signals – Auto-adapts from 270Mbps to 12Gbps data rates, accepts SDI,
HD-SDI, 3G HD-SDI, 6G and 12G SDI compliant input signals with video resolutions of
up to 4K@60Hz (4:2:2) 30bpp. Complying with SMPTE 259M (SD-SDI), 292M (HD-SDI),
344M (ED-SDI), 424M (3G HD-SDI), ST-2081 (6G-SDI) and ST-2082 (12G-SDI)
standards, it supports pass-through of standard embedded audio channels with ancillary
ID and metadata information.
• Adaptable HDMI Data Rates – Flexibly scales to a wide variety of HDMI data rates, from
low 480p to as high as 4K@60Hz (4:4:4) video resolution, adapting to any market-
available AV acceptor device, such as displays and projectors.
• Flexible Audio De-embedding – The user selects to de-embed 2 or 4 of the 16 audio
channels embedded within each SDI input signal. The de-embedded audio is then
embedded in the corresponding converted HDMI output signal, and, in parallel, is de-
embedded and sent to a corresponding device audio output port, either as 2-channel
balanced analog or 4-channel AES/EBU-compliant stereo audio signal. This enables
high-quality audio playback by routing the audio to external speakers in parallel to
routing the audio to the local speakers found on the connected AV acceptor device (such
as a TV or laptop).
• Extended-Reach Input Extension – Input signal equalization and output signals reclocking
to gain extended-reach signal extension. Using high-quality coaxial SDI cables, supports
extension of up to 500m (1640ft) for SD signals; 260m (850ft) for 1.5G HD signals; 220m
(720ft) for 3G; 100m (330ft) for 6G HD signals; 70m (230ft) for 12G 4K signals.
