4 VM-4UX
– Overview
3 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 at

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.
