VM−218DTxr is a high−quality, extended−reach
4K@60Hz (4:2:0) HDBaseT distributor that takes
either an HDMI or an extended−reach HDBaseT input
(selectable), equalizes and reclocks the signal and
distributes it to eight identical extended−reach
HDBaseT outputs, each with its own Ethernet and
RS−232/IR control signals. The unit also includes a
loop HDMI output along with audio de−embedding
(extraction) to analog stereo port. As an integrated
extender distributor, VM−218DTxr re−extends and
distributes native extended−reach HDBaseT signals
with up to 4K video resolution
FEATURES
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
Cables-For optimum range and performance, use recommended Kramer cables
HDMI Signal Extension-HDCP 1.4 compliant signal, supporting deep color, x.v.Color™, lip sync, 7.1
PCM, Dolby TrueHD, DTS−HD, 2K, 4K, and 3D as specified in HDMI 2.0. EDID signals are passed
through from the source to the display
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
Looping HDMI Output-Enables monitoring and cascading to additional DAs
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
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
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
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. 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
Easy Installation-Twisted−pair cables for HDBaseT signals wiring. Rack mountable enclosure for
mounting in a 1U rack space with included rack ears
