KRAMER NETWORK 1.0 is an IP-based enterprise management software platform for AV networks. Using any
laptop, PC or tablet, KRAMER NETWORK lets IT managers to easily and remotely configure, route, control, and
manage Kramer Pro-AV devices, room environments, and IP streaming devices from a single point in the network via
a user-friendly Web-based interface.
Using KRAMER NETWORK you can easily manage a room in a floor of a building which is part of a network site. One
way of doing this is by using a KRAMER NETWORK Virtual Master room controller that is created in K-CONFIG . The
KRAMER NETWORK Virtual Master control configuration is saved in K-CONFIG and is then uploaded to a room
defined in KRAMER NETWORK .
