Kramer VP-428H2 4K HDBT Transmitter/Scaler

Product Overview

The Kramer VP-428H2 is a 4K HDBT transmitter and scaler that converts HDMI input to HDBaseT output while scaling the signal to a consistent output resolution, designed for conference rooms and commercial AV installations requiring long-distance 4K signal delivery over Cat cabling. It accepts an HDMI source, scales it to the required output resolution, and transmits the scaled signal over a single Cat cable to a compatible HDBaseT receiver. This makes it suitable for installations where source resolution must be matched to display resolution before the signal is extended over Cat infrastructure.

Product Description

The VP-428H2 addresses the common AV installation challenge of matching source and display resolutions before HDBaseT distribution. By integrating a scaler with the HDBaseT transmitter, it ensures that whatever source is connected — regardless of native resolution — the HDBaseT output carries a consistent, display-appropriate signal. This is valuable in conference rooms and training rooms where HDMI sources vary in resolution and the display at the end of the HDBaseT run has a fixed native resolution. RS-232 and Ethernet control allow integration with room control systems for scaler configuration and input management.

Key Features

• 4K HDBT Transmitter with Scaling — Scales HDMI input to the required resolution before transmitting over HDBaseT.
• Single Cat Cable Output — Transmits video, audio, and control signals over Cat 5e/6 to a compatible HDBaseT receiver.
• 4K Resolution Support — Handles 4K UHD signals for current commercial display systems.
• RS-232 & Ethernet Control — Integration with room control systems for configuration and management.

Typical Applications

• Conference room HDMI to HDBaseT extension with scaling
• Training room long-distance 4K signal distribution
• Corporate AV systems with mixed-resolution sources
• Boardroom HDBaseT infrastructure
