What is the Kramer SWT3-41-H HDMI switcher?
The Kramer SWT3-41-H is an intelligent 4x1 automatic HDMI switcher for 4K60 4:4:4 video, with priority or last-connected auto-switching and remote IP-driven management. It gives conference rooms and classrooms four HDMI inputs to one display with plug-and-play operation, and it can be powered over PoE for a tidy under-table or rack installation.
How does the Kramer SWT3-41-H work?
The SWT3-41-H watches all four HDMI inputs for active video and automatically plays the selected source on the display according to the configured preference, such as input priority or last connected. Switching is HDCP 2.2 compliant at up to 18Gbps and supports deep color, x.v.Color, CEC, lip sync, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD and 3D as specified in HDMI 2.0. Kramer I-EDIDPro intelligent EDID processing keeps sources and displays compatible without manual setup.
Up to 32 channels of uncompressed audio pass through, and the output audio is de-embedded to a balanced stereo analog output for a room amplifier or DSP. The switcher can turn a CEC-enabled or serially controlled display on or off as sources are connected or removed, with a user-defined shutdown delay. A built-in control gateway lets an IP controller drive connected devices via RS-232 or I/O, and remote contact-closure buttons on the GPIO pins can trigger configurable functions. Local volume and mute buttons, a web page and 802.1x authentication round out the control and security options, all in a fan-less DemiTOOLS enclosure.
