2 VS-82HDxl - Getting Started

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

•Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

•Review the contents of this user manual

Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com to check for up-to-date

user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware

upgrades are available (where appropriate).

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

•Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-

performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in

signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often

associated with low quality cables)

•Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils

•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

•Position your VS-82HDxl away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be

connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

Digital Video Broadcasting - Asynchronous Serial Interface

•Supports ANC data (embedded audio, Teletext, time code, and so on)

•Performs clean switching when the sources are genlocked to the selected

genlock input with a difference of no more than two lines of video

•Can use either an analog signal or any of the SDI input signals for

genlocking. If the selected genlock input signal is unavailable, the

VS-82HDxl automatically selects the best available SDI input for the genlock

signal

•Provides 16 presets for storing switching configurations

•Has a front panel lock button

The VS-82HDxl is housed in a 19" 1U rack-mountable enclosure and is fed from a
