Kramer KIT-401 - 4K Auto-Switcher and Scaler Kit over Long-Reach HDBaseT

KIT-401 is a high-performance auto-switcher/scaler kit for 4K HDMI and VGA over long-reach HDBaseT. The kit includes the KIT-401T wall-plate transmitter/switcher and the KIT-400R receiver/scaler. The KIT-401T transmitter converts the user-selected input signal into the transmitted HDBaseT signal. The KIT-400R receiver receives the HDBaseT signal, converts it to HDMI and up- or down-scales the picture to match the resolution of the HDMI monitor. KIT-401 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.

Features

• Simple and Powerful Maestro Room Automation - Intuitive user interface enables you to fully automate your meeting room elements. Configure lights, shades, devices and more to be activated by an extensive range of triggers, including scheduling, input/output connectivity, routing, and button pressing. By minimizing user intervention, Maestro room automation saves meeting prep time and minimizes human error before presentations.
• HDMI Support - HDCP 1.4 / 2.2. 4K60, CEC, xvYCC color (on input).
• PoC (Power over Cable) Enabled - Power only one of the units. The other unit of the receiver/transmitter pair is powered via the HDBaseT extension.
• 2 Local and 1 Remote Source - With auto-switching of the live source to the HDMI display on the output at the receiver. The transmitter has an HDMI and a VGA input, with a dedicated audio jack, and there is an additional HDMI input on the receiver side.
• Audio De-embedding - Output the HDMI audio to a balanced stereo output on the receiver side, and an unbalanced stereo output on the transmitter side.
• Bidirectional RS-232 Extension - Serial interface data flows in both directions, allowing data transmission and device control.
• I-EDIDPro Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing - Intelligent EDID handling, processing and pass-through algorithm that ensures Plug and Play operation.
• Easy Remote Device Control - Control devices connected to KIT-401 from the user-friendly Kramer Aware interface on the KIT-401 embedded webpages. You can also access the interface using the Kramer Aware app on a compatible Kramer touch panel.
• Convenient Unit Control and Configuration Options - Local control via front panel source and output switching buttons, DIP-switches for configuring connection priority, and OSD menu. Distance control via user-friendly embedded web pages via Ethernet, Protocol 3000 API, RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a PC, touch screen system or other serial controller and relay switches.
• Easy, Cost-effective Maintenance - Local firmware upgrade via USB connector.
• Easy and Elegant Installation - Installation is fast and cost-effective via a single CAT cable, providing both video signal and power (PoC) connections.
  The transmitter compactly fits into standard US, EU and UK 2-gang in-wall box size, supporting decorative integration with room deployed user interfaces such as electrical switches. The compact MegaTOOLS fan-less receiver enclosure for dropped-ceiling mounting, or side-by-side mounting of 2 units in a 1U rack space with the recommended rack adapter.
