3 Overview
The Kramer VS-162V is a high-performance 16x16 vertical interval matrix
switcher for composite video signals on BNC connectors. In addition to its
typical 16x16 operation, the VS-162V can be configured as follows:
• 8x8 for s-Video (Y/C)
• 5x5 for YUV or RGB (with the sync on the green signal - RG
S
B)
• 4x4 for RGBS signals
A main advantage of the VS-162V is that it forms part of the series of
16x16 matrix switchers that includes, but is not limited to, VS-1616A (a
16x16 analog balanced stereo audio matrix switcher), VS-1616SDI (a
16x16 digital video matrix switcher), VS-1616AD (a 16x16 digital audio
matrix switcher), and VS-1616RS (an RS-422 control signal matrix
switcher).
In particular, the VS-162V:
• Produces glitch-free transitions, when sources share a common
reference sync

transparent in almost any video application
