VM-4UX 

– Overview

 

 

Overview 

The 

VM-4UX

 is a 

compact and 

high performance 1:4 

4K 

distributor for 

standard 

broadcast-grade SDI 

signals

 up to 12G transmitted data rate

. It 

auto-adapts to the 

data rate of 

the 

SDI 

input

 signal

, equalizes and re

-

clocks 

the signal

 

to improve 

transmitted signal reach, 

and distributes the signal to two identical 

SDI 

outputs

In particular, the 

VM-4UX

 features: 

 

Reliable Connectivity

 

– Coaxial broadcast-grade cables are reliably connected 

via 

lockable 

BNC connectors, preventing unintentional disconnection and 

resulting in fast and highly professional uncompressed SDI signal distribution 

deployments.  

 

Extended-reach

 

Input

 

Extension

 

– Input signal equalization and output signal 

reclocking to gain extended-reach signal extension. Using Kramer high-quality 

coaxial SDI cables, supports extension of up to 80m (260ft) for 12G 4K signals. 

 

 

 

Reach depends on signal resolution, and quality of copper cable used. For 
further details, go to our website a

www.kramerav.com/product/VM-4UX

Reach extension performance may vary while using non-Kramer coaxial 

cables. 

 

SDI Signal Transmission

 

– Auto-adapts to SDI, HD-SDI, 3G HD-SDI, 6G and 

12G SDI compliant signals, supporting pass-through of standard embedded 

audio channels with ancillary ID and metadata information. 

 

Easy Installation and Maintenance

 

– Compact TOOLS™ fan-less enclosure for 

small footprint spaces and over-ceiling mounting, or side-by-side mounting of 3 

units in a 1U rack space with the optional

 

RK-3T

 

rack adapter. Status 

indicators for transmitted SDI data rate of input and output connected signals, 

and power indicator, for ease of maintenance and troubleshooting.
