Kramer VS-62DT 6x2 4K60 4:2:0 HDMI/HDBaseT Long-Reach PoE Matrix Switcher

The Kramer VS-62DT is a professional-grade 6x2 matrix switcher designed to simplify AV distribution in modern conference rooms, classrooms, control rooms, and digital signage installations. By combining HDMI and HDBaseT output transmitters, this compact, rack-mountable matrix enables seamless routing of multiple sources to both near-field displays and distant receivers, all over a single cable run when using HDBaseT. With support for 4K@60Hz at 4:2:0, plus WUXGA, the VS-62DT delivers sharp video and rich audio across diverse devices, while its built-in PoE capability reduces wiring clutter by powering compatible remote receivers over Ethernet. Whether you’re delivering a polished presentation in a boardroom, streaming content to multiple rooms in a university building, or powering a sophisticated control room, this matrix provides flexible, reliable distribution with enterprise‑grade reliability and easy control. It’s engineered to integrate with existing HDMI sources like laptops, Blu-ray players, and media players, while providing a robust pathway to distant displays and projectors without sacrificing signal quality or timing.

• Flexible 6x2 routing: Route six HDMI inputs to two outputs (HDMI and HDBaseT) for versatile distribution to local displays and remote receivers without rearranging cabling.
• 4K60 4:2:0 and WUXGA support: Delivers high-resolution video up to 4K@60Hz with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling, alongside traditional WUXGA for legacy displays, ensuring compatibility across a wide range of content and screens.
• Long‑reach HDBaseT output: Transmits video, audio, and control signals to distant displays or receivers via a single Cat5e/6/7 cable, reducing cable clutter and simplifying installations.
• PoE-enabled matrix: Powers compatible remote receivers and extenders over Ethernet, minimizing power adapters and simplifying installation in rooms where power outlets are limited.
• Reliable performance and compatibility: Designed for professional environments with robust HDMI/HDBaseT compatibility, EDID management, and secure, straightforward switching between sources.

How to install Kramer VS-62DT

To ensure a clean, reliable installation, follow these steps. Begin by planning your layout: place the VS-62DT in a rack or on a stable shelf, near convenient access to your sources and displays. Connect each of the six HDMI sources to the HDMI inputs on the matrix using high-quality HDMI cables. Attach your primary display or projector to the HDMI output, and connect any distant displays or receivers to the HDBaseT output via Cat5e/6/7 cables. If you intend to power remote receivers over Ethernet, connect a PoE switch or injector to the matrix’s PoE-enabled network port per your installation’s power design. Ensure all sources and displays are powered off before connections, then power up the matrix and connected devices. Use the front panel controls or the compatible remote/control interface to route the desired inputs to the HDMI and HDBaseT outputs. Configure EDID settings if needed to match the displays’ native resolution and preferred timing, so you get the best picture quality and audio performance from every source. Finally, test each routing path by selecting each input and verifying video and audio on both the HDMI and HDBaseT outputs.
