Kramer 4x1 4K HDR HDMI Intelligent Auto Switcher

Automatically or manually switch one of four HDMI inputs to an HDMI output or remotely control switching via IP with the 4x1 4K HDR HDMI Intelligent Auto Switcher from Kramer. The plug-and-play 4x1 HDMI auto switcher features support for HDR signals up to 4K60 4:4:4, and it provides options for automatic switching based on priority or the last-connected source. The VS-411XS features intelligent switching using Maestro room control that allows you to control all the elements in your room, providing connectivity configuration, routing, and source selection. It can be controlled and configured via the Kramer Aware app over a local network. It also supports automatic display operation, which allows you to turn on and off a CEC-enabled display when the presenter display is selected.

To ensure plug-and-play operation with your HDMI sources and display, the switcher utilizes Kramer s I-EDIDPro algorithm, which executes EDID handling, processing, locking, and pass-through functions. It is HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 compliant, plus it supports 32 channels of uncompressed digital audio mixing to allow high-quality surround sound. There s also a 5-pin terminal block stereo analog audio output that outputs a de-embedded audio signal in parallel with the HDMI output for use with speaker systems. The compact and durable DemiTOOLS aluminum enclosure features LED indicators for active output and power status and uses convection cooling to avoid fan noise.

Key Features

Simple and Powerful Maestro Room Control

Out-of-the-box configured room control for a typical meeting room setup and intuitive user interface enables you to fully control your meeting room elements. Room devices are controlled right out-of-the-box by an extensive range of triggers, including input/output connectivity, routing, and button pressing. By minimizing user intervention, Maestro room control saves meeting prep time and minimizes human error before presentations.

Easy Remote Device Control

Control meeting and presentation devices connected to VS-411XS from the user-friendly Kramer Aware app on a compatible Kramer touch panel (sold separately). Kramer Aware includes a built-in, basic user-interface panel, pre-configured for Maestro-controlled typical meeting room setup.

Plug-and-Play Auto Switcher

The VS-411X automatically plays the switched source signal on the connected display according to user-configured preferences, such as priority or last-connected input. When the user manually switches, by pressing a button, the auto switching is overridden.

Simple Manual Switching Operation

Local panel buttons, remotely connected contact-closure buttons, and optional Maestro Kramer Aware touch panel buttons for flexible user input selection and switching control.

HDMI Signal Switching

The switcher is HDCP 2.2 compliant, supporting deep color, x.v.Color, CEC, lip sync, HDMI uncompressed audio channels, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, 2K, 4K, and 3D as specified in HDMI 2.0.

Multichannel Audio Switching

The VS-411XS handles up to 32 channels of digital stereo uncompressed signals for supporting studio-grade surround sound.

I-EDIDPro Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing

Intelligent EDID handling, processing, locking, and pass-through algorithm ensures plug-and-play operation for HDMI source and display systems.

Audio De-Embedding

The digital audio signal passing through to the HDMI output is de-embedded and converted to an analog signal and sent to the stereo balanced analog audio output. This enables playing the audio on locally connected speakers, in parallel to playing it on the speakers connected to the AV acceptor device (such as TVs with speakers).

Automatic Display Operation

Part of the out-of-the-box Maestro configured room automation. Meeting presentation is simplified by automatically turning ON/OFF a CEC-enabled display when the presentation source is plugged in / unplugged with user-defined shut-down delay.

Comprehensive Unit Control and Configuration Options

Local control via DIP-switches, volume and mute buttons, and volume and mute contact closure switches. Distance control via user-friendly embedded web pages via the Ethernet, Protocol 3000 API commands via RS-232 serial communication transmitted by a computer, touchscreen system, or other serial controller.

Cost-Effective Maintenance

Status LED indicators for HDMI ports facilitate easy local maintenance and troubleshooting. Remote IP-driven device management, and optional whole site management system, via built-in web pages and RS-232 connection. Local and remote firmware upgrade via RS-232 or Ethernet connection tool ensure lasting, field proven deployment.
