Kramer VS-88UT (50-80355040)
The Kramer VS-88UT is an all-in-one 4K@60Hz (4:2:0) Audio-Video presentation system with integrated range extension and an integrated control system master. The unit switches the video, embeds the audio and outputs the signal to both an HDMI and an HDBaseT 2.0 with USB extension and PoE on the HDBaseT output ports. Outstanding audio support includes balanced stereo audio, unbalanced stereo audio, and de-embedded audio sources that output to embedded audio, balanced stereo audio as well as a power amplified audio output.
The VS-88UT includes a master room controller that can operate over Ethernet (LAN) with control ports that include: one bidirectional RS-485, four RS-232, four IR, four GPI/O, and eight relays to control a wide variety of AV devices. It includes a KNET™ connector interface that enables access to the master controller from auxiliary room controllers such as control keypads. The unit can also provide power to auxiliary room controllers via the KNET™ connectors. VS-88UT includes an Ethernet gateway to control and manage remote I/O ports.
