Getting Started

2.1 Quick Start

This quick start chart summarizes the basic setup and operation:

Overview

3 Overview

The VS-88SDI is a high-performance matrix switcher for SDI signals. The

unit can switch up to 8 inputs to any or all of 8 outputs.

In particular, the VS-88SDI features:

•Operation of up to 540Mbps – enabling it to be used for standard

definition serial digital video signals (SDI)

•SMPTE 259M, 344M, compliance and support for data rates of

540Mbps

•Cable equalization up to 350m for SD1

•Reclocking and equalization on each input, storing and recalling

setups, and a TAKE button for the execution of multiple switches

all at once

signals

•The ability to switch genlocked video signals according to the

timing of the genlock reference input. Switching according to the

bi-level or tri-level genlock input2

The VS-88SDI is housed in a 19" 1U rack-mountable enclosure, and is fed

from a 100-240 VAC universal switching power supply. The unit can be

controlled via the front panel buttons or via:

according to SMPTE RP-168

•An infrared remote control transmitter

•An infrared remote extension cable transmitter

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

PC, touch screen system, or other serial controller

•The Ethernet

•By default, the VS-88SDI is operated using the Kramer 3000

protocol (see section 7.1.9 for details of how to switch to Protocol

2000 and section 10.2 for the relevant protocol commands)

1 Standard Definition (SD) means an NTSC or PAL compatible video format, consisting of 480 (for NTSC) or 576 (for PAL)

lines of interlaced video

2 The sources must be genlocked to the GENLOCK input in order to switch clearly

KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

Your VS-88SDI

To achieve the best performance:

•Use only good quality connection cables1

•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may

adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer

VS-88SDI 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)

Function

1 IR Receiver The yellow LED is illuminates when receiving signals from the infrared remote

control transmitter

2 POWER LED Illuminates when the unit is ON

3 ALL Button Pressing ALL followed by an INPUT button, connects that input to all outputs

4 OFF Button Pressing OFF+OUT disconnects that output from the inputs;

pressing OFF+ALL disconnects all the outputs

5 IN SELECT Buttons Select the input to switch to the output;

long presses on buttons IN1 to IN5 change the genlock timing (see Table 5)

6 OUT SELECT Buttons Select the output to which the input is switched

7 STO (STORE) Button Pressing STO followed by an IN / OUT button stores the current setting

8 RCL (RECALL) Button Pressing the RCL button and the corresponding INPUT / OUTPUT key recalls a

setup from the non-volatile memory

9 LOCK Button A long press toggles activation/inactivation of the front panel buttons;

pressing LOCK+OUT2 selects Protocol 2000; pressing LOCK+OUT3 selects

Protocol 3000

10 TAKE Button Pressing TAKE toggles the mode between the CONFIRM mode and the AT

ONCE mode (user confirmation per action is unnecessary)

11 7-segment Display Displays the selected input switched to the output (marked above each input)

RS-485 TERM DIP-switch terminates the RS-485 line with a 120Ω load

18 RS-485 Terminal Block Port Pins B (-) and A (+) are for RS-485;

Pin G may be connected to the shield (if required)

19 ETHERNET RJ-45 Connector Connects to the PC or other Serial Controller through computer networking

LAN

20 MACH # DIP-switches DIP-switches 1-4 for setting the Machine Address of the unit

21 ETH RESET Button Press to reset to factory default definitions

IP number −192.168.1.39, Mask – 255.255.0.0, Gateway – 0.0.0.0

OUTPUT BNC Connectors Connect to the serial digital video acceptors

23 REMOTE IR 3.5mm Mini Jack Connect to an external IR receiver unit for controlling the machine via an IR

remote controller (instead of using the front panel IR receiver)2

Power Connector with Fuse AC connector enabling power supply to the unit

25 Power Switch Turns the power to the unit ON and OFF

1 First disconnect the power cord and then connect it again while pressing the ETH Factory Reset button. The unit powers up

and loads its memory with the factory default definitions and erases all stored presets

2 Optional. Can be used instead of the front panel (built-in) IR receiver to remotely control the VS-88SDI (only if the internal

IR connection cable has been installed) (See section 4.1)
