An integrated 16x16 audio matrix allows independent audio breakaway, ARC extraction, insertion and routing between any HDMI ports. It is the core routing matrix for multi-display AV systems in boardrooms, training centers and venues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the Kramer VS-88H2 work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAny of the eight HDMI sources can be sent to any combination of the eight outputs, with HDCP 2.2 compliance and Kramer I-EDIDPro intelligent EDID processing for plug-and-play compatibility. Flexible and safe matrix routing keeps protected content on compliant displays, and auto switcher modes give ease of use in rooms that rely on automatic source selection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe built-in audio matrix routes forward and ARC audio signals independently of video, so audio from one source can accompany video from another, or ARC audio from a display can be sent back to an audio system. The VS-88H2 is managed through a secured web UI, RS-232, Ethernet and front-panel buttons, with a mini USB port and a 5V\/2A USB port. The 19-inch aluminum enclosure uses fan ventilation and universal 100-240V AC power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor analog audio outputs, see the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/kramer-vs-88h2a-8x8-4k-hdr-hdcp-2-2-matrix-switcher-with-analog-digital-audio-routing\"\u003eKramer VS-88H2A 8x8 matrix with analog and digital audio\u003c\/a\u003e; for HDBaseT outputs, see the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/kramer-vs-88ut-8x8-hdmi-hdbt-matrix-switcher\"\u003eKramer VS-88UT 8x8 HDMI\/HDBaseT matrix\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the key features of the Kramer VS-88H2?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8x8 4K60 matrix\u003c\/strong\u003e — Eight HDMI inputs independently routable to eight outputs at 18Gbps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e16x16 audio matrix\u003c\/strong\u003e — Independent audio breakaway and ARC routing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHDCP 2.2\u003c\/strong\u003e — Flexible and safe routing of protected content.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eI-EDIDPro\u003c\/strong\u003e — Intelligent EDID processing for plug-and-play operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuto switcher modes\u003c\/strong\u003e — Ease of use in automated rooms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecured web UI\u003c\/strong\u003e — Protected browser-based operation and management.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSimple control\u003c\/strong\u003e — Front panel, RS-232 and Ethernet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere is the Kramer VS-88H2 typically used?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoardroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraining room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuditorium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroadcast studio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernment space\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\u003e8 HDMI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 HDMI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePorts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 mini USB; 1 RS-232; 1 Ethernet; 1 5V\/2A USB\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\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\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAudio Matrix\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16x16; breakaway forward and ARC signals\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100–240V AC, 50\/60Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnclosure\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19\", aluminum, fan ventilation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43.6cm x 18.3cm x 4.4cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.2 lbs (2.4 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 audio be routed separately from video?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
