Kramer VM-2HDT 1:2 HDBaseT Extender Distributor
Product Overview
The Kramer VM-2HDT is a 1:2+1 HDBaseT extender distributor that takes one HDMI input with RS-232 and IR control signals, converts it to an HDBaseT extension signal, and distributes it to two HDBaseT outputs that connect to compatible HDBaseT receivers — plus an additional HDMI loop output for a local display or daisy-chaining to another unit. AV integrators deploy the VM-2HDT in installations where one HDMI source needs to feed two remote displays over structured Cat cabling, with RS-232 and IR control reach at each display location, and a local display connection maintained directly from the unit. It is HDBaseT standards-compliant and compatible with any market-available HDBaseT receiver, not just Kramer models.

Frequently Asked Questions
