Key Product Advantages
The VS-611DT combines high-performance switching with PoE provisioning, reducing installation complexity and hardware costs in extended AV setups. Its support for 4K@60Hz over twisted pair ensures future-proof compatibility with modern displays and sources, while the dual-display output enables versatile multi-screen applications.
Extended Range Capability
Transmits 4K signals up to 328 feet over standard twisted pair cabling, eliminating the need for expensive HDMI fiber extenders in medium-distance deployments.
- 100m @4K support
- Uses Cat5e/6/6a cabling
Integrated PoE Provisioning
Powers HDBaseT receivers directly through the network cable, removing separate power adapters at the display end and streamlining rack power management.
- Reduces cable clutter
- Simplifies receiver setup
Deployment / Use Cases
This switcher is ideal for environments requiring centralized source management and signal extension, such as corporate boardrooms, education facilities, retail digital signage networks, and broadcast control rooms. Its 6x1:2 configuration allows multiple input devices—like media players, computers, or cameras—to be switched between two displays seamlessly.
In digital signage deployments, the VS-611DT can drive dual displays from a single content source, with PoE supporting remote receivers for flexible screen placement. For command and control rooms, the fast auto-switching and remote management capabilities enable quick source selection and monitoring across multiple operator stations.
Conference Room AV
Switch between presentation laptops, video conferencing systems, and Blu-ray players to dual displays or projectors, with HDBaseT extension to wall-mounted screens.
Digital Signage Distribution
Distribute 4K content from a media server to two displays over long distances, using PoE to power receivers without local outlets.
Physical Profile
The VS-611DT features a compact rack-mountable design with dimensions of 1.72" (43.69 mm) height, 8.45" (214.63 mm) width, and 6.42" (163.07 mm) depth, fitting standard 19-inch racks. Its lightweight construction (approximately 1 kg) and included rack ears facilitate easy installation in AV racks, server rooms, or equipment closets, with a durable finish suited for professional environments.

FAQ
How many displays can the VS-611DT support simultaneously?
This switcher supports two displays simultaneously from its 6x1:2 configuration, allowing dual-screen setups in environments like conference rooms, digital signage, or control centers. It can switch between six input sources to either or both displays, offering flexibility in multi-display deployments.
What type of cabling does the VS-611DT use for signal extension?
The VS-611DT uses twisted pair cabling (such as Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat6a) for HDBaseT signal extension, supporting distances up to 328 feet (100 meters) at 4K resolution. This eliminates the need for expensive HDMI fiber extenders and leverages existing network infrastructure for cost-effective AV distribution.
Does the VS-611DT provide Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, the VS-611DT acts as a PoE provider for compatible HDBaseT receivers, delivering power over the same twisted pair cable used for signal transmission. This simplifies installation by removing the need for separate power adapters at the receiver end, reducing cable clutter and improving rack management.
What control options are available for the VS-611DT?
Control options include RS-232 and Ethernet for both local and remote management over HDBaseT. The switcher can be integrated into the Kramer Network ecosystem for centralized monitoring and configuration, allowing administrators to adjust settings, switch sources, and monitor status from a single interface.
