Kramer VM-3H2: 1x3 4K60 HDMI Distribution Amplifier (4:4:4, HDCP 2.2, HDMI 2.0)

The Kramer VM-3H2 is a professional-grade HDMI distribution amplifier designed to deliver pristine 4K UHD video to multiple displays from a single high-performance HDMI source. Built for demanding AV deployments, this 1×3 device ensures a consistent, high-quality signal across three identical outputs, making it ideal for classrooms, conference rooms, control rooms, retail signage, and home theater setups that demand reliability and color accuracy. With HDCP 2.2 protection and HDMI 2.0 compatibility, the VM-3H2 preserves content protection while preserving full 4K60 capability and 4:4:4 color fidelity.

• 1 input, 3 outputs — Take a single HDMI source and split it into three identical HDMI outputs with full signal integrity. The VM-3H2 is purpose-built for multi-display configurations, ensuring that each connected display receives the same high-quality 4K signal without degradation or delay, so your presentations, dashboards, and media walls stay perfectly synchronized.
• 4K60Hz at 4:4:4 with HDMI 2.0 — Supports resolutions up to 4K at 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma subsampling, providing rich color, sharp text, and accurate gradients across all outputs. This makes it suitable for professional applications that require maximum image fidelity, such as digital signage, medical imaging previews, and corporate presentations where color precision matters.
• HDCP 2.2 compliant — Protects digital content while providing compatibility with the latest 4K sources. Whether you’re distributing Blu-ray, streaming, or broadcast-quality media, the VM-3H2 maintains the necessary copyright protections across every output so you can deploy with confidence in a production or educational environment.
• Signal integrity with equalization and reclocking — The VM-3H2 actively equalizes and reclocks the HDMI signal to compensate for cable length and potential transmission loss. This technology helps minimize artifacts such as image dropouts or color skew when wiring to multiple displays at varied distances, delivering stable performance in real-world installations.
• Compact, reliable distribution amplifier for versatile setups — Ideal for wall mounts, AV racks, or under-table installations, the VM-3H2 is designed to blend into professional environments. Its robust performance supports a wide range of display types and room layouts, enabling flexible, scalable deployments as your AV needs evolve.

how to install Kramer VM-3H2

• Connect your HDMI source to the VM-3H2 input using a high-quality HDMI cable rated for 4K60.
• Attach three HDMI cables from the VM-3H2 outputs to the three displays or screens you want to drive in your installation.
• Power on your source and all connected displays. Ensure each display is set to the corresponding HDMI input and that the displays can accept 4K60 signals if you are using 4K sources.
• If you encounter issues such as no image or color artifacts, verify cable quality and length, then confirm that all devices are HDCP 2.2 compliant and configured to support 4K60 4:4:4 signals. In some setups, adjusting the EDID behavior on the source or displays can improve compatibility.
• Test the system under typical usage, checking for synchronization across all three outputs and confirming that the image remains stable as you move content between displays or switch sources.
