It is HDCP 2.2\/1.4 compliant and reclocks and equalizes each signal. This compact 4K HDMI matrix suits meeting rooms and presentation spaces with a main display and a confidence monitor or second display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the Kramer VS-42H2 work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach output can independently show any of the four HDMI inputs, so a room can present one source on the projector while another plays on a side display, or mirror the same source to both. Kramer Equalization and reKlocking technology rebuilds the digital signal so it can travel longer distances, and individual EDID management per input captures and stores the EDID of a display for reliable source compatibility. HDCP can be selected per input.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUp to six preset configurations can be saved for quick recall. Local control is available from front-panel switching, mute, lock and EDID buttons and an IR remote; remote control runs through embedded web pages over Ethernet, Kramer Protocol 3000 commands, RS-232 and eight remote contact-closure switches. Firmware upgrades are done locally via USB or RS-232. The half-19-inch, 1U aluminum enclosure mounts in a rack with the recommended rack adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor larger rooms, see the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/kramer-vs-48h2-4x8-4k-hdmi2-0-matrix-switcher\"\u003eKramer VS-48H2 4x8 HDMI matrix\u003c\/a\u003e or the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/kramer-vs-84h2-8x4-4k-hdr-hdcp-2-2-matrix-switcher-with-digital-audio-routing\"\u003eKramer VS-84H2 8x4 HDMI matrix\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the key features of the Kramer VS-42H2?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4x2 4K HDR matrix\u003c\/strong\u003e — Routes four 4K60 4:4:4 HDR HDMI inputs to two outputs at up to 18Gbps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHDCP 2.2\/1.4 compliant\u003c\/strong\u003e — Selectable HDCP per input.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEqualization and reKlocking\u003c\/strong\u003e — Rebuilds the digital signal for longer cable runs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePer-input EDID management\u003c\/strong\u003e — Captures and stores display EDID.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSix presets\u003c\/strong\u003e — Save and recall common routing configurations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible control\u003c\/strong\u003e — Front panel, IR, web pages, Protocol 3000, RS-232 and contact closures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHalf-rack 1U enclosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — Rack mounts with the recommended adapter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere is the Kramer VS-42H2 typically used?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConference room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoardroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraining room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouse of worship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;max-width:100%;table-layout:fixed;border-collapse:collapse\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:38%\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:62%\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 HDMI (female HDMI connectors)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 HDMI (female HDMI connectors)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePorts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 Ethernet (RJ-45); 1 RS-232 (3-pin terminal block); 1 mini USB; 8 remote contact-closure switches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax Resolution\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4K@60Hz 4:4:4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax Data Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18Gbps (6Gbps per graphic channel)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContent Protection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHDCP 2.2\/1.4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5V DC; consumption 2.5A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnclosure\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHalf-19\" 1U, aluminum, convection ventilation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.1 lbs (1.0 kg) approx.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan both outputs show different sources?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
