Kramer VM-8UX 1:8 4K 12G SDI Distribution Amplifier
Product Overview
The Kramer VM-8UX is a 1:8 4K 12G-SDI distribution amplifier that accepts a single 12G-SDI input and provides eight identical reclocked outputs, designed for broadcast studios, live production environments, and commercial AV systems requiring SDI signal distribution to multiple destinations. It supports 12G, 6G, 3G, HD, and SD-SDI formats with automatic format detection, making it suitable for mixed-format SDI installations.
Product Description
The VM-8UX distributes a single SDI source to eight destinations simultaneously, each with signal reclock to maintain signal integrity over long cable runs in broadcast racks and production environments. Automatic format detection eliminates the need to manually configure the DA when switching between SD, HD, 3G, 6G, or 12G-SDI sources. This makes the VM-8UX practical in live production environments where source format may change between events. All eight outputs are buffered and reclocked independently, ensuring consistent signal quality at each destination. BNC connectors on all ports meet broadcast-grade connectivity standards.
Key Features
- 1:8 SDI Distribution — Distributes one SDI input to eight independent reclocked outputs.
- 12G-SDI Support — Handles 4K UHD 12G-SDI and backward-compatible 6G/3G/HD/SD-SDI formats.
- Automatic Format Detection — No manual configuration needed when switching SDI source formats.
- Reclocked Outputs — All eight outputs reclocked for clean signal delivery over long broadcast cable runs.
- BNC Connectors — Industry-standard 75Ω BNC connectors throughout.
Typical Applications
- Broadcast studio 12G-SDI signal distribution
- Live event production signal routing to multiple destinations
- House of worship video production SDI infrastructure
- Government broadcast facility signal distribution
- Post-production SDI signal routing
