Kramer VP-554X

Description

Overview

The VP−554X is a high−performance presentation scaler/switcher with 4 pairs of independent and scaled outputs. It includes multiple HDMI and HDBaseT inputs – supporting resolutions up to 4K – as well as a legacy VGA input, and each of the 4 outputs is mirrored on both HDMI and HDBT.
VP−554X supports embedded and balanced analog stereo audio, up to 2 microphone inputs, DSP audio features and a built−in stereo power amplifier. It includes a built−in Ethernet switch and supports legacy RS−232, and IR, Ethernet and RS−232 tunneling over HDBT.

Pix–Perfect™ Scaling Technology — Kramer’s precision pixel mapping and high–quality full up — and down–scaling technology.
High–Performance Switcher/Scaler — Scales the video and provides constant output sync to prevent signal disruption when switching between inputs and when no video is detected.
HDCP 2.3 Compliance — The HDCP (High Definition Content Protection) license agreement allows copy–protected data on the HDMI input to pass to HDCP compliant outputs.
Resolutions — Up to 4K60 4:4:4 on the HDMI ports; up to 4K60 4:2:0 on the HDBaseT ports; and up to 1080p60 on the VGA input.
System Range for the HDBT inputs and outputs — Up to 100m for 4K; 180m for 1080p.
4x1 USB Switcher — Can be set to follow the switching of the video layer or as an independent switcher.
Audio DSP Features, including input and output level adjustments, microphone talkover, mixing, and EQ.
Analog & Embedded Audio Support.
Built–in Power Amplifier — 2x20W.
Built–in Video ProcAmp — Color, hue, sharpness, noise, contrast, and brightness.
Option for video wall output mode.
Multiple Control Options — Front panel buttons with OSD, RS–232, Ethernet and built–in Web pages.
Includes numerous filters and algorithms for eliminating picture artifacts.
Converts to 4K60 4:2:0 on HDBaseT outputs when its corresponding mirrored HDMI output resolution is 4K60 4:4:4 (similarly for 4K50).
HDMI Support — HDR10, CEC, xvYCC color (on input), Dolby TrueHD/DTS–HD Master Audio (by–pass), as specified in HDMI 2.0 as specified in HDMI 2.0.
Multiple aspect ratio selections.
Advanced EDID management per input.
Includes non–volatile memory that retains the last settings, after switching the power off and then on again.
STO and RCL buttons, a RESET TO XGA/1080P button (to hardware–reset the output resolution); and a PANEL LOCK button.
Built–in video Proc–Amp — color, hue, sharpness, contrast, and brightness are set individually for each output.
An OSD (On–Screen Display) — for making adjustments — that can be located anywhere on the screen.
Efficient power–saving features.
Advanced EDID management per input.
Includes non–volatile memory that retains the last settings, after switching the power off and then on again.
11 input buttons for switching a selected input to an output.
