Kramer’s lightning fast 4K presentation scaler/switcher with cutting-edge video
processing technology now features a 15W+15W RMS power amplifier. The new
built-in audio capability keeps users from having to attach an audio de-embedder
and external amp, simplifying installations. VP-796A is ideal for lecture halls,
boardrooms, meeting rooms, houses of worship, and more.
“We believe our customers will be excited about the VP-796A’s built-in power amp
as an added-value feature for saving cost and setup time,” said Aviv Ron, VP
Business Development & Strategy at Kramer. “With the VP-796A, we’re offering a
complete audio and video presentation scaler-switcher solution in one box,
preventing the hassle and headache of having to control products from various
manufacturers,” added Ron.
In addition to the product’s new power amplifier, the VP-796A includes analogue and
embedded audio switching, audio-follow-video switching, two microphone inputs
with a mixer, and balanced line-level outputs, all within a 1U enclosure.
Like its cousin, the VP-796, the VP-796A typically switches in a quarter of a second,
at least four to six times faster than any competitor in the market.
Based on Calibre’s proprietary class-leading HQUltra 4K video processing
technology, the VP-796A presentation scaler/switcher offers scaling capabilities far
superior to conventional scalers. The product can produce 4K-UHD images from HD
content without ugly scaling artefacts and with very low latency. This is crucial for
pro AV applications and not achievable with most 4K scaling solutions.
The VP-796A offers a wide range of video inputs for today’s digitally connected Pro
AV world, including HDMI, DisplayPort, HDBaseT, VGA, Composite, and DVI-U. The
product also features three identical outputs with 4K support: one HDBaseT and two
HDMI (one via a DVI connector). VP-796A supports legacy formats, all with
exceptional image quality.
