It switches between two HDMI sources using priority or last-connected rules based on active signal detection, and sends the selected signal over HDBaseT up to 40m at 4K60 4:2:0. It is a compact HDMI to HDBaseT auto switcher for classrooms, huddle rooms and training rooms where the display or projector is across the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the Kramer VS-21DT work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo HDMI sources connect to the VS-21DT. When a source becomes active, the switcher selects it according to the chosen scheme, either input priority or last connected, and outputs it on the HDBaseT 1.0 port to a compatible HDBaseT receiver at the display. This combines a switcher and transmitter in one device, which reduces equipment at the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VS-21DT handles up to 4K@60Hz 4:2:0 at 8.91Gbps and is HDCP 2.2 compliant; Kramer notes it does not convert HDCP 2.2 content to HDCP 1.4. Kramer equalization and re-klocking technology rebuilds the digital signal, and 3D pass-through is supported. It runs on 5V DC.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the display, pair it with a compatible receiver such as the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/kramer-tp-580r-4k60-4-2-0-hdmi-hdcp-2-2-receiver-with-rs232-ir-over-longreach-hdbaset\"\u003eKramer TP-580R HDBaseT receiver\u003c\/a\u003e.
