Reliable signal transmission for hybrid meeting rooms
In an increasingly networked world, where hybrid meetings, high-resolution content and flexible working environments are part of everyday life, high-performance AV solutions are more in demand than ever. With the new HDMI/USB-HDBT3 Extender 4K60 Set², Kindermann presents a future-proof solution that meets all the requirements of modern signal transmission - over impressive distances.
Uncompressed 4K transmission over 100 meters
The extender set is based on the latest HDBaseT 3.0 technology and enables the transmission of uncompressed HDMI 2.0 signals with up to 4K60 (4:4:4) over up to 100 meters - via a single CAT6A/CAT7 cable. This makes the system ideal for large conference rooms, educational institutions or venues where quality and range are crucial.
One cable, all signals
In addition to HDMI, USB 2.0, Gigabit Ethernet, IR and RS232 signals are also transmitted via the same cable. This integration significantly reduces the cabling effort and ensures a tidy, efficient infrastructure - a clear advantage for installers and system integrators.
Power supply via a power supply unit
Thanks to PoC (Power over Cable), a single power supply unit is all that is needed to power the transmitter and receiver. This simplifies installation and saves space - especially in environments with limited access to power sources.
Audio de-embedding for more flexibility
Another highlight is the integrated audio de-embedding on the transmitter or receiver. This allows audio signals to be output separately, for example for connection to external speaker systems - without additional hardware.
Ideal for hybrid working environments
The set is particularly suitable for BYOM (Bring Your Own Meeting) concepts. It makes it easy to connect (touch) displays and professional USB video conferencing equipment to your own notebook - without any loss of quality, even with long cable runs.

Clear, bright, sustainable - projectors for the future
Anyone who wants to present convincingly in education, business or culture today needs technology that is flexible, efficient and future-proof. Panasonic delivers exactly that with the new PT-VMZ82 series - a projector line that is characterized by high light output, sustainable design and clever features. And all this in a format that remains surprisingly compact.
One series, many possibilities
The VMZ82 series consists of three models that differ in brightness and projection ratio:
- PT-VMZ82 - 8,000 lumens
- PT-VMZ72 - 7,300 lumens
- PT-VMZ62 - 6,500 lumens
All models work with WUXGA resolution (1920 × 1200), use 3LCD technology and rely on a maintenance-free laser light source that lasts up to 24,000 hours.
Compact, lightweight, flexible
Despite their power, the devices are surprisingly handy. This makes them not only mobile, but also versatile - whether on the ceiling, on the table or mobile in a case. The 1.6x zoom, lens shift and geometry correction ensure that the image is perfect even in difficult room conditions.
A clever detail: the integrated angle monitor shows the tilt angle and alignment directly on the screen - so the projector can also be set up quickly and precisely on its own.
VMZ7ST series: Big picture in a small space
The two new short throw models PT-VMZ7ST (7,000 lumens) and PT-VMZ6ST (6,200 lumens) with a projection ratio of 0.797 to 1.01:1 are particularly exciting. They project a large image from a short distance - ideal for confined spaces or interactive applications where the projector is mounted close to the wall. At the same time, they reduce shadows and glare, which is a real advantage, especially in classrooms or workshops.
Sustainability that can be seen
Panasonic has also thought about the environment when developing the VMZ82 series. The housings are largely made of recycled plastic and the packaging does not use polystyrene. Compared to the previous series, power consumption has been reduced by up to 27% - a plus point for the environment and operating costs.
Technology that thinks for itself
The projectors support 4K/30p input signals, which are scaled internally to WUXGA - ideal for modern content. Devices can be connected quickly via HDMI, Digital Link or optionally wirelessly via QR code. If you want, you can even present directly from a USB stick.
Whether large auditorium or small classroom, mobile setup or fixed installation - the Panasonic VMZ82 series offers the right model for every situation. It is bright, quiet, efficient and easy to operate. And it shows that modern projection can not only look good, but also work sustainably.

Kindermann is expanding its portfolio with the currently most powerful OPS PC with Android 13 and EDLA certification. It not only impresses with its computing power, but also enables access to all Google services, including driver and security updates.
When touch displays are getting on in years, it is usually due to an old Android version that can no longer keep up with modern applications. However, integrated chips and drivers prevent the operating system from being updated easily. With the new attractively priced OPS-PC, Kindermann extends the service life of these touch displays and thus secures the investment. In addition, the OPS-PC offers a whole range of improved functions and a higher security standard.
Powerful and EDLA-certified
The new Kindermann OPS-PC MT8195 is equipped with an Android 13 operating system and state-of-the-art hardware. In addition to a powerful Mediatek Octacore SoC, 8 GB DDR4 RAM, a fast 128 GB SSD hard disk and WiFi 6 module, the device's EDLA certification is a particular plus point. EDLA stands for Enterprise Devices Licensing Agreement, a new program that Google introduced at the end of 2022. This enables unrestricted use of the operating system and all Google services, which brings many advantages. For example, official access to the Google Play Store is guaranteed and apps and tools can be seamlessly integrated. On the other hand, certification also increases device security as it makes the Google Play Protect service available. Android 13 also ensures greater security, for example by improving control over which apps can access which information. For example, access to certain photos, videos and clipboard history can be blocked.
Perfect for the education sector: The Kindermann Education Box
Kindermann offers the OPS PC as an "Education Box" with a five-year license for SOTI's MobiControl device management system especially for the education sector. This makes the data protection-compliant use of Google accounts child's play. The use of Google services is particularly problematic in the education sector, as it requires a Google account. However, these must not be personalized for data protection reasons and generic accounts without access restrictions are simply unsuitable for schools. With MobiControl from SOTI, all necessary accounts can be created and managed centrally and made available to teaching staff via automated one-click setup. The apps that are to be available for download can be defined in advance in the profiles, which enables secure and data protection-compliant use.
