VP-551X
10−Input 18G 4K Presentation
Switcher/Scaler
VP−551X is a versatile, professional presentation scaler/switcher for 4K@60 (4:4:4) HDMI, VGA and composite video signals. The unit scales the video and provides options to use the embedded HDMI audio or to select the companion audio channel from one of ten analog audio input signals. After processing and scaling, the embedded AV signal is sent to the HDMI and the HDBaseT outputs simultaneously, and the audio is also sent to a balanced stereo audio output, S/PDIF digital output and a pair of loudspeakers
FEATURES
High-Performance Switcher/Scaler – Scales HDMI, VGA and Composite video signals for output to two mirrored outputs: HDMI and HDBaseT. Constant output sync prevents signal disruption when switching between inputs and when no video is detected
High-Resolution Video – Supports and scales to/from resolutions up to 4K@60Hz (4:4:4) on the HDMI inputs and output, and 4K@60Hz (4:2:0) on the HDBaseT output. Complies with HDCP 2.2. Supports
HDR10, CEC, xvYCC color (on input), Dolby TrueHD/DTS−HD Master Audio (by−pass), as specified in HDMI 2.0
Professional Video Quality – Provides selectable aspect ratios (full,
best fit, over scan, under scan, letter box and pan scan). Includes built–in
ProcAmp for color, hue, sharpness, noise, contrast and brightness control.
Supports PixPerfect™, Kramer’s precision pixel mapping and high–quality
scaling
technology. High–quality 3:2 and 2:2 pull−down de−interlacing and full
up−scaling and down−scaling of all video input signals
Versatile Audio Options – Includes a companion analog audio input for
each of the 10 video inputs, enabling the user to embed a separate analog
audio channel into each video signal or to bypass an embedded audio input (for
example, to support multi−channel, compressed audio formats like Dolby and
DTS).
Provides 2 independent microphone inputs on 6.3mm connectors (each with
optional 48V phantom power) for mixing, switching or talk−over. On the output,
besides the audio embedded on HDMI and HDBaseT outputs, the audio signal is
also extracted (de−embedded) and output as balanced stereo analog audio, and
as digital audio through an S/PDIF connected device, as well as amplified to
20W per channel for connection to loudspeakers
Powerful Audio Features – Includes DSP with audio equalization, mixing,
delay and more
Versatile Powering Options – Receives power from a universal power supply
(100–240V AC) and provides PoE power to a compatible HDBaseT device
HDTV Compatible
4K and Legacy Inputs – 8 4K@60 (4:4:4) HDMI inputs, 1 VGA input, and 1
CV (composite video) input
Non-Volatile Memory – Saves final settings before shutdown and retains
them for next power up
Convenient Control Options – Local control via front panel buttons (input
selection, audio mute, freeze and front panel lock), RS–232, IR remote, and
OSD
Long− distance control via Ethernet using embedded web pages
Easy Installation – 19” enclosure for rack mounting a unit in a 1U rack
space with included rack ears and universal 100–240V AC power connection
