Kramer VM-8H 1:8 HDMI Distribution Amplifier

The Kramer VM-8H is a distribution amplifier for HDMI signals. It reclocks and equalizes the signal and distributes it to 8 identical outputs, making it well suited for routing one HDMI source to multiple displays in conference rooms, classrooms, digital signage, and AV racks.

HDMI Signal Distribution with Reclocking and Equalization

Designed to help maintain signal integrity across multiple connected displays, the VM-8H regenerates the incoming HDMI signal before sending it to each output. It supports both HDMI and HDCP for compatibility with protected and unprotected content workflows.

EDID Management for Reliable Source-to-Display Negotiation

To simplify integration when mixing different displays or receivers, the VM-8H includes SELECT and READ buttons that let you select and store EDID information. This helps your source device detect the expected display capabilities and can reduce resolution or handshake issues during setup.
