Kramer VP-427X 4K Auto–Switcher/Scaler Receiver over Long–Reach HDBaseT

Product Overview

The Kramer VP-427X is a 4K auto-switcher and scaler receiver over Long-Reach HDBaseT, designed for conference rooms and commercial AV installations where multiple HDMI sources need to be switched and extended over Cat cabling to a remote display. It functions as the receiver end of an HDBaseT signal run, integrating auto-switching between multiple inputs with built-in scaling to match the connected display’s native resolution. The VP-427X is suited for installations where simplicity at the display end is a priority.

Product Description

The VP-427X receives multiple HDMI and HDBaseT inputs at the display end of an AV system, selects the active source automatically, and scales the output for the connected display. This integrated approach reduces equipment at the display location — a single unit handles receiving, switching, and scaling without additional rack equipment at the display wall. Long-Reach HDBaseT extends the input signal from the AV equipment room over Cat 5e/6 at distances beyond standard HDBaseT. RS-232 and Ethernet control allow override and configuration from a room control system. This makes the VP-427X a practical solution for conference rooms where the display is mounted away from the main AV rack and multiple source inputs need to be managed locally.

Key Features
