It routes any of four HDMI sources to any or all four outputs and extracts each output's audio to balanced analog and S\/PDIF digital outputs with separate volume control. That makes it a 4K HDMI matrix with audio breakout for rooms that need to feed DSPs, amplifiers or zone audio alongside multiple displays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the Kramer VS-44H2A work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach of the four HDMI outputs can show any input, and the VS-44H2A de-embeds that output's audio to a balanced stereo terminal block and an S\/PDIF RCA connector, each with its own volume control. Signals are HDCP 2.2\/1.4 compliant and support HDR10, xvYCC color, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, and 3D as specified in HDMI 2.0. Kramer Equalization and reKlocking technology rebuilds the signal, and per-input EDID management and selectable per-input HDCP keep sources and displays compatible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn Easy Step-In collaboration function works with Kramer Step-In enabled switchers so a presenter can plug in and press Step-In to take the main display. Up to four presets can be recalled from the front panel. Control is available from front-panel buttons and the input\/output LED display, an IR input, embedded web pages over Ethernet, Kramer Protocol 3000 and RS-232. Firmware updates run over Ethernet or USB. The 19-inch 1U enclosure includes rack ears and a universal 100-240V AC power connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor larger systems, 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 audio routing\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 matrix\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the key features of the Kramer VS-44H2A?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4x4 18G 4K HDR matrix\u003c\/strong\u003e — 4K60 4:4:4 HDR HDMI routing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnalog and digital audio de-embedding\u003c\/strong\u003e — Balanced stereo and S\/PDIF on every output with separate volume.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHDCP 2.2\/1.4\u003c\/strong\u003e — Selectable HDCP per input.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced audio formats\u003c\/strong\u003e — Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio support.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStep-In collaboration\u003c\/strong\u003e — Works with Kramer Step-In enabled switchers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePer-input EDID\u003c\/strong\u003e — Captures and stores display EDID.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible control\u003c\/strong\u003e — Front panel, IR, web pages, Protocol 3000, RS-232 and Ethernet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1U rack chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e — Rack ears and universal AC power included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere is the Kramer VS-44H2A typically used?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoardroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConference room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraining room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouse of worship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuditorium\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\u003e4 HDMI;
