• High-performance modular matrix switcher: professional, 8K-ready matrix for switching multi-format AV signals. Features Kramer Equalization & re-Klocking Technology that rebuilds the digital signal to travel longer distances. For optimum range and performance, use recommended Kramer cables.
• Modular & easily configurable platform: input and output module types can be mixed and added in increments of 2, creating a matrix of 2 x 32, 32 x 2, or any configuration in between. Select from a full array of popular and legacy formats to populate the chassis. This matrix is compatible with some existing modular matrix modules.
• Flexible infrastructure conversion: Kramer Core technology enables copper or twisted pair to be used at the same time, according to input/output module selection. The matrix receives signals from compatible Kramer transmitters, automatically converts between available infrastructure options and sends the signals to compatible Kramer receivers.
• Build-in independent analog audio matrix: allows audio independent routing through the VS-34FD.
• Integrated Ethernet switch: enables a single Ethernet cable connection to allow network distribution to all HDBaseT far end extender devices.
• Quick and efficient management: compatible with Kramer network enterprise management platform providing automatic discovery through the network, FW upgrade management for matrix and cards, identification of card type and location and indication of card status (module ID, actual firmware versions), matrix switching, specific card features configuration (for example, volume levels on audio cards), store and recall of predefined switching scenarios, and more.
• Content protection support: HDCP 2.2 compliant, with compatible DVI, HDMI, and HDBaseT modules. Supports disabling HDCP when needed.
• Fast switching support on outputs configuration: reduces or removes switching delay. EDID Management: individual
• EDID management per input. Captures and stores the EDID from a display device.
• Second power supply: redundant, hot–swappable (purchased separately).
• Flexible control options: local control from the front panel, including: switching, executing multiple switches simultaneously, storage, and recall of multiple switching configurations, front-panel lockout. Distance control with user-friendly web GUI via Ethernet and Protocol 3000 API via Ethernet or RS-232.
• Modular cooling system: 2 easily replaceable, low-noise, hot-swappable fan racks.
• Cost-effective maintenance: power and error LED and LCD display facilitate easy local maintenance and troubleshooting. Local FW upgrade via mini USB port, in/out audio jacks for unit testing, and reset button for convenient unit reset (for future use) ensure lasting, field-proven deployment.
• Easy installation: 19” enclosure for rack mounting in a 4 RU rack space with included rack ears and universal 100–240 VAC power supply.

Q: 2. Please what is the difference between Avmatrix VS0605U and VS0605 video switcher?

A: VS0605U has a USB Streaming output (via USB-C) and the VS0605 does not.

Q: 3. How many 4K cameras can you run at one time?

A: It can run up to 3 4K inputs simultaneously.

Q: 4. does this machine compress the video to H264/ H265 ?

A: Yes it does. it records H.264 to a .MP4 file.

Q: 5. Do I need a video capture card for this model?

A: Yes, you will need a capture device to stream with this product. The Magewell USB Capture HDMI Gen 2 is a great option for this, BH #MA32060. https://bhpho.to/2CgWqPa

Q: 6. Where does the SD card go and How do I record. I don't see a record button on the system?

A: There are no SD card slots on the AVMATRIX Portable 6-Ch SDI/HDMI Multi-Format Streaming Switcher.

Q: 7. Does the switcher use third party software like OBS or it stands alone?

A: This switcher does not have a streaming output. It would require an HDMI capture device for OBS.

Q: 8. Does the switch use third party hardware like OBS or it works alone? Does it use the hardware for transition ? How many signals can it send simultaneously:

A: This switcher does not need OBS or any other software to switch between video signals, however, many customers prefer to use it with software like OBS because OBS makes it easier to add titles, graphics, and stream to various destinations. Yes, it uses hardware for transitions. It can accept up to 6 signals simultaneously.

Q: 9. What type of media can be input through USB?

A: The manufacturer has not explicitly defined this application and because this is a brand new product, which we do not yet stock, we cannot physically verify this information.

Q: 10. Will firmware update be provided in future for it to run 4K over SDI?

A: No, the physical connectors on this unit are 3G-SDI. You need 6 or 12G-SDI for 4K--with some exceptions that don't apply to this switcher.
