Kramer has announced the release of the VP-558, a powerful 11×4 ProScale presentation scaler/matrix switcher that can output four independent scaled images with embedded audio via both HDMI and HDBaseT. The VP-558 offers the best price performance of its kind in the industry.

Featuring Kramer’s renowned scaling technology, VP-558’s four independent scaled outputs are perfect for applications that require multiple screens of various sizes and resolutions at different distances from the cabinet or rack. The product’s HDBaseT inputs and scaled outputs offer the flexibility to use a variety of input and output devices that are far away from the switching unit.

The versatile VP-558 features 6 HDMI and 4 HDBaseT inputs along with an analogue VGA input. The unit includes a 4×1 USB switcher, independent stereo audio outputs and a line output. VP-558 also has a microphone input, an amplified speaker output and audio DSP.

This product is an ideal matrix switcher solution for meeting rooms with video conferencing systems. With its integrated 4X1 USB switcher, the VP-558 is also an outstanding choice for setups that require USB switching with video and audio (e.g., a Smart Board).

VP-558’s control options include extensive built-in Web pages, OSD and RS-232. The presentation scaler/matrix switcher’s unique combination of features makes it flexible and cost-effective for a wide variety of installations.

The VP-558 is currently available and shipping worldwide.
