Kramer VS-411X 4x1 4K HDR HDMI Auto Switcher Review
Kramer VS-411X 4x1 automatic HDMI switcher supporting 4K@60Hz (4:4:4) HDR video across 4 inputs, with 32-channel embedded audio, 3.5mm analog audio output, HDCP 2.2 compliance, and automatic or pushbutton switching.
The 4-input big sibling of the VS-211X, for rooms with more than two source devices - a laptop, a room PC, a wireless presentation box, a Blu-ray player - that all need to land on one display without a matrix switcher's cost or complexity.
Overview
The VS-411X automatically selects among four HDMI sources based on priority or last-connected detection, supporting 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 HDR video, HDCP 2.2, and multichannel embedded audio with a de-embedded 3.5mm analog output.
