Kramer Electronics Kramer MegaTOOLS VM-2DT - HDBaseT Distribution Amplifier

The Kramer Electronics Kramer MegaTOOLS VM-2DT is a professional HDBaseT distribution amplifier designed to extend and distribute HDMI signals over long distances using standard CAT6 cabling. This device accepts one HDBaseT input and provides two HDBaseT outputs, allowing you to split and extend a single source to two displays or receivers. With support for 4K@60Hz (4:2:0) resolution and HDCP 2.2 compliance, it ensures high-quality video distribution for modern AV systems. The VM-2DT features Power over Cable (PoC) to power compatible receivers, advanced EDID management for seamless integration, and control via RS-232 or USB for firmware upgrades. Housed in the compact Kramer MegaTOOLS form factor, it is ideal for rack-mount or standalone use.
