3 Overview

The

VS-42HC is a true 4x2 matrix switcher for YUV (Y, Pb/Cb, Pr/Cr) component

video and digital audio (S/PDIF) signals. The high quality

VS-42HC lets you

simultaneously route any of the 4 inputs to either one or both of the outputs. The

component video and S/PDIF input and output signals are on RCA connectors, and

the S/PDIF channel 2 is also available on optical (TOSLINK

) input/output

connectors.
The

VS-42HC 4x2 Home Entertainment Matrix Switcher features:
A video bandwidth of 200MHz that ensures transparent performance
An audio channel sampling rate of up to 192kHz, including multi-

channel audio (suitable for multi-channel applications, like AC3)

A built-in digital audio delay time, which corrects lip sync errors so that the

audio delay will match the video delay

DC coupled video inputs and outputs
A LOCK button to prevent tampering with the front panel

Control the

VS-42HC using the front panel buttons, or remotely via:

RS-232 and RS-485 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen

system, PC, or other serial controller

The Kramer infra-red remote control transmitter
The ETHERNET

To achieve the best performance:

Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference,

deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise

levels (often associated with low quality cables)

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may

adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer

VS-42HC

away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
