It converts one HDMI input into DGKat 2.0 signals and distributes them to four identical twisted pair outputs for compatible DGKat receivers, plus an HDMI loop output. It is a long-reach HDMI distribution solution for cafeterias, lobbies, malls and large facilities with displays spread across a space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the Kramer VM-4DKT work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn HDMI source connects to the VM-4DKT, which encodes the signal into DGKat 2.0 using low-level video compression that Kramer describes as visually lossless for 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 HDR signals with near-zero latency. Each of the four RJ-45 outputs connects over a single twisted pair cable to a compatible DGKat receiver, carrying both signal and power (PoC) so the remote receivers need no local power. Reach is up to 60m (200ft) at 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 using shielded UNIKAT cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe HDMI loop output mirrors the content for local monitoring or cascading to other components. HDMI support includes HDR10, HDCP 2.3, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, 2K and 4K as specified in HDMI 2.0, with up to 8 channels of uncompressed digital audio. EDID can use a default or connected-display EDID with a locking option, and an RS-232 port supports control. The half-19-inch 1U aluminum enclosure mounts under a table or two side-by-side in 1U.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible DGKat 2.0 receivers include models such as the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/kramer-pt-872xr-long-reach-dgkat%E2%84%A2-2-0-receiver\"\u003eKramer PT-872XR DGKat 2.0 receiver\u003c\/a\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/kramer-tp-874xr-4k-hdr-hdmi-poc-receiver-with-rs-232-ir-over-long-reach-dgkat-2-0\"\u003eKramer TP-874XR DGKat 2.0 receiver\u003c\/a\u003e; confirm the pairing with our team.
