The Kramer DGKat-IN4-F32 receives four DGKat video and RS232 links in a compatible VS-3232 modular matrix. It connects remote sources through compatible DGKat twisted-pair transmitters.
DGKat-IN4-F32 Detailed Features
- Add four DGKat input channels. The card expands a compatible VS-3232-series modular matrix with four twisted-pair source links. It supports extending the matrix system beyond equipment located directly beside the chassis.
- Receive remote sources. Compatible DGKat transmitters send source signals to the card over twisted-pair cable. This lets a source be located away from the central switching chassis.
- Carry control with the video. RS-232 support provides a control path alongside compatible AV signals. Integrators can include serially controlled equipment in the same distributed installation.
- Choose cabling for the required reach. DGKat performance depends on the paired devices, signal resolution, and cable installation. Use the recommended Kramer cable and observe the model’s resolution-dependent distance limits.
- Support compatible HDMI and protected signals. The manufacturer lists HDMI and HDCP compliance along with 3D pass-through. Check compatibility across the complete source, matrix, endpoint, and display chain.
- Condition the transmitted signal. Equalization and reclocking are part of the documented DGKat signal path. These functions support suitable signal delivery within the system’s specified limits.
- Install in the supported matrix chassis. This is a modular expansion card, not a standalone extender. Confirm the exact matrix and endpoint compatibility before ordering, including the required power arrangement for remote devices.
