Getting Started

Overview

3 Overview

The Kramer VS-162V is a high-performance 16x16 vertical interval matrix

switcher for composite video signals on BNC connectors. In addition to its

typical 16x16 operation, the VS-162V can be configured as follows:

•8x8 for s-Video (Y/C)

•5x5 for YUV or RGB (with the sync on the green signal - RGSB)

•4x4 for RGBS signals

A main advantage of the VS-162V is that it forms part of the series of

16x16 matrix switchers that includes, but is not limited to, VS-1616A (a

16x16 analog balanced stereo audio matrix switcher), VS-1616SDI (a

16x16 digital video matrix switcher), VS-1616AD (a 16x16 digital audio

matrix switcher), and VS-1616RS (an RS-422 control signal matrix

switcher).

In particular, the VS-162V:

•Produces glitch-free transitions, when sources share a common

reference sync1

•Offers excellent video performance, which ensures that it remains

transparent in almost any video application

In addition the VS-162V:

•May be used as a single unit, or expanded to up to 96 x 96

inputs/outputs

•Can be configured into a Kramer multi-signal switcher system

including digital and analog video, digital and analog audio, and

RS-422 control switchers

•When integrated in a system, all units switch in true audio-follow-

video mode

•Recalls up to 99 configuration setups via the non-volatile memory

and provides for an unlimited quantity of setups when using the

Kramer control software on your PC

•Includes a user-friendly LCD display (making operation even

easier)

•With its FLASH memory, lets you upgrade to the latest Kramer

firmware version via Internet download

•Comes with a choice of protocol format: hexadecimal or ASCII

1 As it switches during the vertical interval

KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

Your Video Matrix Switcher

You can control the VS-162V:

•Using the front panel buttons

•Remotely, by RS-485 or RS-232 serial commands transmitted by

a touch screen system, PC, or other serial controller

•Remotely, from the Kramer RC-IR2Infrared Remote Control

Transmitter

•An external remote IR receiver (optional), see section 4.1

•Via external dry-contact push buttons

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-162V in a location free from moisture and away from

excessive sunlight and dust
