Kramer VP-558 11x4:2 Presentation Boardroom Router / Scaler System

Product Overview

The Kramer VP-558 is an 11x4:2 presentation boardroom router and scaler system designed for large boardrooms, conference centers, and executive meeting rooms requiring comprehensive multi-source AV management with integrated scaling and audio routing. It handles up to eleven input signals and routes them to four scaled outputs with two sub-outputs, making it one of Kramer’s most capable presentation routing platforms for complex AV environments. The VP-558 is designed for permanent installation in high-use boardrooms where reliable, professional-grade signal management is required.

Product Description

The VP-558’s 11x4:2 matrix combines input switching, built-in scaling, and audio management for boardrooms and conference centers with demanding AV requirements. Each output can display any of the eleven input sources at a consistent scaled output resolution, ensuring that switching between a laptop, video conferencing codec, document camera, media player, and other sources does not cause display compatibility issues. The audio routing capability allows audio signals to follow video or be independently managed for room audio systems and recording. RS-232 and Ethernet control integrate with Crestron, AMX, and other commercial control systems. The VP-558 is a purpose-built solution for high-density AV environments where multiple rooms or display zones share a centralized routing system.
