3. Overview
The VS-812 is a unique dual-format switcher and distribution amplifier for
composite and s-Video (Y/C) and balanced stereo audio signals. Each of the
eight inputs can be configured as either composite or s-Video (Y/C) and is
converted to produce composite and s-Video (Y/C) outputs simultaneously.
The VS-812 8x1 Composite / s-Video / Audio Switcher:
• Features high bandwidths of 370MHz (-3dB) for composite video, and
190MHz (-3dB) for s-Video (Y)
• Is a dual format 8x1 switcher with each input able to be selected as
composite or s-Video via the eight INPUT SETUP DIP-switches
• Includes built-in bidirectional format conversion: the two composite and
two s-Video (Y/C) outputs are live at all times regardless of input
configuration
• Features glitch-free transitions when the sources are genlocked
• Features vertical interval switching
• Is controlled via the eight front panel INPUT SELECTOR buttons or
remotely via RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen
system, PC, or other serial controller front panel RS-232 (K-Router™
Windows®-based software is included)
• Has a standard 1U 19” Rack Mount Size
To achieve the best performance:
• Use only good quality connection cables
• Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may
adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer VS-812
away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
to avoid interference,
deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise
levels (often associated with low quality cables).
