Kramer VS-84H2 8×4 4K60 HDMI Matrix Switcher

The Kramer VS-84H2 is a high-quality 8×4 HDMI matrix switcher designed for professional AV environments that require reliable 4K signal distribution. It allows eight HDMI sources to be independently routed to four HDMI displays, supporting full 4K@60Hz (4:4:4) video performance.

With an integrated audio matrix, the VS-84H2 enables independent audio breakaway and ARC extraction, insertion, and routing between any HDMI ports. This makes it suitable for systems that integrate external audio processing, amplification, or distributed speaker setups.

Control, Management & Installation

Control options include front-panel buttons, RS-232, and Ethernet with a secured web-based user interface. The unit supports multiple preset configurations, built-in test video patterns for diagnostics, and remote firmware upgrades for long-term system reliability.

Housed in a compact 19” 1U aluminum rack-mount enclosure and powered by a universal 100–240V AC supply, the VS-84H2 integrates easily into professional AV racks.
