It handles 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 inputs and outputs, scaling, multi-view and custom screen layouts and audio management, so it can drive a 3x3 wall or other shapes such as 2x5 and 5x2. It suits both digital signage and large control room video walls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the Kramer VW-9 work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUp to four HDMI sources connect to the VW-9, and its processor scales them to any of the ten HDMI outputs, upscaling or downscaling as needed up to 4K@60Hz 4:4:4. A single source can be spread across the whole wall, or multiple sources can be combined on the wall at once using PiP, PoP, quad-view and other customized layouts. Switching between input channels is fast, so operators can change wall content quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VW-9 is controlled through an embedded web interface, RS-232\/Telnet, RS-485\/RS-422 and Ethernet, which lets the wall be managed locally or remotely and integrated with control systems. It is HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 compliant, with up to 18Gbps video bandwidth, and stereo unbalanced audio is output on a terminal block. Built-in dual redundant power supplies improve reliability for mission-critical spaces, and firmware upgrades run from a USB flash drive. The 19-inch 5RU aluminum enclosure is cooled by fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor smaller walls, the Kramer VW-4 4-output driver is an option; to preview multiple sources on one screen, see the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/kramer-mv-5-5-channel-multiviewer\"\u003eKramer MV-5 multiviewer\u003c\/a\u003e.
