The Kramer VS-88H2 is a high-quality 8×8 HDMI matrix switcher designed for professional AV environments requiring reliable distribution of 4K/60 UHD video with full 4:4:4 color sampling.

Flexible Switching, Audio Breakaway & EDID Management
Clean and safe switching between inputs ensures smooth transitions between content on connected displays, enhancing the end-user presentation experience. Auto-switching functionality automatically plays the active source based on user-defined priorities or last-connected input selection.
I-EDIDPro™ Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing™ provides individual EDID management per input, allowing EDID capture from connected displays or the use of custom EDID files. This ensures reliable plug-and-play operation across a wide range of HDMI sources and display devices.
Control, Security & Installation
The VS-88H2 supports local control via front panel buttons and indicators, as well as remote control through a secured web-based interface, IP control, or RS-232 commands. Built-in test video patterns assist with output and display diagnostics, while firmware upgrades and system management can be performed remotely.
Housed in a compact 19” 1U aluminum rack-mount enclosure with universal AC power support, the VS-88H2 is an ideal solution for professional AV installations requiring dependable 4K HDMI matrix switching with advanced audio handling.
