Automatically or manually switch one of two HDMI inputs to an HDMI output with the Kramer VS-211X, a 2x1 HDMI auto switcher with support for HDR signals up to 4K at 60 Hz (4:4:4). It provides options for automatic switching based on priority or the last-connected source. To ensure plug-and-play operation with your HDMI sources and display, the VS-211X utilizes Kramer's I-EDIDPro algorithm, which executes EDID handling, processing, locking, and pass-through functions.
This auto switcher is HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 compliant, plus it supports 32 channels of uncompressed digital audio to allow high-quality surround sound. There's also a 3.5mm stereo analog audio output that outputs a de-embedded audio signal in parallel with the HDMI output. The compact and durable DigiTOOLS aluminum enclosure features LED indicators for active output and power status and uses convection cooling to avoid fan noise. It also provides a barrel input for powering via a 5 VDC source.

Kramer VS-211X Overview
Plug-and-Play Auto Switcher
The VS-211X automatically plays the switched source signal on the connected display according to user-configured preferences, such as priority or last-connected input. When the user manually switches, by pressing a button, the auto switching is overridden.
HDMI Signal Switching
The switcher is HDCP 2.2 compliant, supporting deep color, x.v.Color, CEC, lip sync, HDMI uncompressed audio channels, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, 2K, 4K, and 3D as specified in HDMI 2.0.
Multichannel Audio Switching
The VS-211X handles up to 32 channels of digital stereo uncompressed signals for supporting studio-grade surround sound.
I-EDIDPro Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing
Intelligent EDID handling, processing, locking, and pass-through algorithm ensures plug-and-play operation for HDMI source and display systems.
Audio De-Embedding
The digital audio signal passing through to the HDMI output is de-embedded and converted to an analog signal and sent to the 3.5mm stereo unbalanced analog audio output. This enables playing the audio on locally connected speakers, in parallel to playing it on the speakers connected to the AV acceptor device (such as TVs with speakers).
Simple Switching Operation
Use the local buttons or remotely connected contact-closure buttons (via the 3-pin terminal block) for flexible user input selection and switching control.
Cost-Effective Maintenance
Status LED indicators for HDMI ports facilitate easy local maintenance and troubleshooting. Local firmware upgrade ensures lasting, field-proven deployment.
Easy Installation
The compact DigiTOOLS fanless enclosure enables user-reachable table mounting, or side-by-side mounting of three units in a 1 RU rack space with an optional rack adapter.

Hi.
We have the VGA version of this unit, with the second input used for 'guest' laptops. When a guest laptop is connected, the switcher automatically defaults to that laptop. Otherwise, it displays the #1 input, which is a room computer.
I'd just like to confirm that this unit does the same thing?
This unit would be connected to an 82" Samsung display.
Thanks.
Yes, The Kramer VS-211X automatically switches according to the selected switching scheme based on active video signal detection.
