Recycling Kramer Products
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC aims to reduce
the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration by requiring it to be collected
and recycled. To comply with the WEEE Directive, Kramer Electronics has made
arrangements with the European Advanced Recycling Network (EARN) and will cover any
costs of treatment, recycling and recovery of waste Kramer Electronics branded equipment on
arrival at the EARN facility. For details of Kramer’s recycling arrangements in your particular
country go to our recycling pages at www.kramerav.com/support/recycling.
Overview
The VM-214DT HDMI/HDBT Switcher/DA is a switcher/distribution amplifier for HDMI and
HDBT signals. It reclocks and equalizes one of two selectable input signals (HDMI or HDBT)
and distributes it to one HDMI and four HDBT outputs.
In particular, the VM-214DT features:
• Support for 4K UHD (maximum data rate of 10.2Gbps)
• Non-volatile memory that stores the default EDID so it can then provide the EDID
information to the source even if the display device is not connected
• I-EDIDPro™ Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing™, an intelligent EDID handling &
processing algorithm that ensures Plug and Play operation for HDMI systems
• HDMI support for 3D, Deep Color, x.v.Color™ and 7.1 uncompressed audio channels
(Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD)
• HDCP compliance
• LEDs indicating the selected input and active output
• IR remote control support and a remote IR 3.5mm mini jack
• A 1U rack mount enclosure
• Support for up to 130m (430ft) in normal mode for 1080p @60Hz @36bpp, and up to
100m (328ft) for 4K UHD @30Hz when using BC−HDKat6a cables
Using Twisted Pair Cable
Kramer engineers have developed special twisted pair cables to best match our digital twisted
pair products; the Kramer: BC-HDKat6a (CAT 6 23 AWG cable), and the Kramer:
BC-DGKat7a23 (CAT 7a 23 AWG cable). These specially built cables significantly outperform
regular CAT 6 / CAT 7a cables.
About HDBaseT™ Technology
HDBaseT™ is an advanced, all-in-one connectivity technology (supported by the HDBaseT
Alliance). It is particularly suitable in the ProAV – and also the home – environment as a
digital networking alternative, where it enables you to replace numerous cables and
connectors by a single LAN cable used to transmit, for example, uncompressed, full
high-definition video, audio, IR, as well as various control signals.
The products described in this user manual are HDBaseT certified.
