General
The Model VS-4 is a versatile, compact, high performance, solid-state,
4 input x 1 output, VGA video switch that can operate at resolutions of
up to 1600x1200.
The unit allows one monitor to be switched between 4 video sources.
The unit is housed in a small RFI shielded enclosure and is supplied
with an AC power adapter and a Serial (RS-232) control cable for
connecting to a PC or other serial control device.
The device terminates all video inputs and buffers the output to protect
signal integrity. The Model VS-4 can drive video cables to 150 feet or
more. The input and output connectors are all HD15 Female.
There are several ways to control the VS-4. There are 4 buttons on the
front of the VS-4, each corresponding to a VGA input signal and there
is a serial port on the back of the VS-4. The serial port is used to
control the VS-4 via a hyper terminal application on a PC. The unit
features Auto and Scan modes that can be invoked either from front
panel or by serial commands as well.
