Kramer 5x2 4K60 USB-C/HDMI Extender/Scaler Matrix Kit

Kramer KIT-500 Overview

Facilitate participation in collaborative hybrid meetings by providing a reliable option for switching AV inputs and USB host ports to easily share content with room and online meeting participants with the 5x2 4K60 USB-C/HDMI Extender/Scaler Matrix Kit from Kramer. This high-performance integrated matrix scaler kit consists of the KIT 500T matrix transmitter, which offers two USB-C and two HDMI/USB inputs that are independently routable to HDMI and HDBT outputs, and the KIT 500R auto-switcher/scaler receiver, which has an HDMI input for routing a local signal and an HDBT input for routing a remote signal (from the KIT 500T transmitter). Remote USB peripherals are extended for the use of local USB hosts to integrate communication between room and online participants.

HDMI 2.0 is supported, and the kit offers HDCP 2.2 compliance. A built-in proc amp facilitates high-resolution scaling technology and clean, glitch-free source switching with advanced video processing. The kit is ideal for use in classrooms, lecture halls, meeting rooms, training facilities, and virtually any conferencing space that supports the ease and convenience of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device).

Features at a Glance

• Powerful audio handling with integrated DSP for intelligent microphone talk over, audio signal equalization, mixing, and delay processing, together with flexible audio insertion and extraction capabilities, ensure optimal performance for the presenter and end user
• HDMI signal switching with HDCP 2.2 compliance, supporting deep color, x.v.Color, CEC, and HDMI uncompressed audio channels, including Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, 2K, 4K, and 3D as specified in HDMI 2.0
• I-EDIDPro Kramer intelligent EDID processing provides intelligent EDID handling, processing, locking, and pass-through algorithm to ensure plug & play operation for HDMI source and display systems
• BYOD ease and convenience allows you to connect any DP-Alt-Mode-capable USB-C device as an AV presentation source, while providing the connected device with USB 2.0 and Ethernet connection, and up to 60 watts of power, via a single USB-C cable connection only
• Wired and wireless auto switching is possible when the receiver is connected to a wireless connectivity device such as Kramer VIA, allowing it to automatically select between a wired source at the transmitter or the wireless source at the receiver
• Simple control via remote IP-controller connection, browser operation webpage, local panel buttons, or remotely connected contact-closure buttons, for easy and fully flexible user ports selection, signal routing, and matrix control
• Built-in Intelligent Control Gateway facilitates intelligent control of connected AV and motorized devices via relay, RS-232, and CEC, eliminating the need for an external control gateway and reducing installation complexity and costs to enable easy integration with control systems such as Kramer Control
• Audio de-embedding allows digital audio signal pass-through to the output and is also available on the stereo balanced analog audio output. This enables playing the audio on a locally connected professional audio system (such as DSP) and speakers, in parallel to playing it on the speakers connected to the AV acceptor device (such as a TV with speakers)
• USB 2.0 extension enables USB 2.0 signals to be extended between the transmitter and the receiver, enabling connection of the active USB host to both local and remote USB devices, such as a camera and audio devices, or HID (Human Interface Devices) mouse, or keyboard devices
• Bi-directional RS-232 extension ensures that serial interface data flows in both directions, allowing data transmission and device control
• Comprehensive management with flexible service options include local panel status LED indicators and OSD menu operation, remote IP-driven firmware upgrades, and management via user-friendly embedded web pages, with remote IP or local serial service and management via API commands, ensuring lasting, field-proven deployment
• Single cable connectivity for both HDBaseT signals and PoC power distribution with only a single power mains connection. Compact fan-less enclosures for flexible under-table or podium, dropped-ceiling, and display-adjacent mounting
