3 Overview
The Kramer VS-606xl, VS-804xl and VS-808xl are high performance matrix
switchers for composite video and unbalanced stereo audio signals (via RCA
connectors). The Kramer VS-646 and VS-848 are high performance matrix
switchers for composite video and balanced stereo audio signals (via terminal
block connectors). Switching during the vertical interval ensures glitch-free
switching with genlocked sources.
The matrix switchers feature:
A bandwidth of 200MHz that ensures transparency even in the
most critical applications
A TAKE button, which allows you to place multiple switches in a
queue and then activate them simultaneously with one touch of
this button
Memory locations, letting you store multiple switches as presets
(salvos) to be recalled and executed when needed
Audio-follow-video or audio breakaway option (to switch audio
independently from video)
Vertical interval switching
An external Sync/Genlock input that may be programmed to
switch according to the timing of either this input or of source
number 1
Selectable sync signal termination
The matrix switcher is dependable, rugged and fits into two vertical spaces
(2U) of a standard 19" rack. 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 and
position your Kramer matrix switcher away from moisture,
excessive sunlight and dust
