5.4 Getting to Know Your VS-55YC Switcher
The Kramer VS-55YC is a high performance 5x1 vertical interval switcher designed for s-Video (Y/C)
signals. One of up to five sources can be routed to one monitor, projector, or other receiving device.
Since it switches during the vertical interval, transitions are glitch-free when sources share common
reference sync. The LINK connector is designed to allow the use of a VS-55A to form “audio-follow-
video” systems.
The VS-55YC also provides an EXT connector, which allows units to be combined to form
larger switching systems. For example, two units will form a 10x1, three will form a 15x1, etc. A
12VDC-power supply is included for typical operation but the optional model VA-50P can power up to
six Kramer devices requiring 12VDC. All Kramer VM-50 and VS-55 series products can be rack-
mounted using the model RK-50R kit that holds two units in one or two vertical rack spaces.
