Kramer VSM-4X4A – 4x4 seamless multi-scaler matrix with video wall and multiviewer

Kramer VSM-4x4A 4x4 Seamless AV Matrix Switcher/Multi-Scaler

VSM-4x4A is a 4x4 seamless matrix switcher that cuts between inputs cleanly, frame to frame, with no glitches on screen.

It can also work as a video wall driver (2x2 or 1x4, with bezel correction) and as a dual (split / PIP / POP) or quad multiviewer, thanks to Kramer's PixPerfect scaling technology. It supports HDMI with Deep Color, up to eight audio channels and per-port HDCP and EDID settings; besides the four scaled HDMI outputs it has four balanced and four unbalanced analog audio outputs with independent volume.

Ideal for live events, control rooms and presentations where every source change must be invisible, as well as advertising, shopping malls, museums, post production, security and rental: four scalers in a single 1U rack unit.
