5. KRAMER VS-5X4 MATRIX
This section shows you all of the controls and connections of your switcher. Understanding these helps
you realize its full power. The switcher is equipped with RS-232 Connector (for PC Control) and the
connector wiring is described later on.
The Kramer VS-5x4 is a high performance 5x4 vertical interval matrix switch for composite video and
stereo audio signals. It is a true matrix, allowing the user to route any input to any or all outputs
simultaneously. Since the VS-5x4 switches during the vertical interval, transitions are glitch-free
when sources share common reference sync. Audio signals are always switched together with the
corresponding video signal, and the large LED display makes it easy to see the current settings. Each
audio output may be configured to have 0, 2, 4 or 6dB gain by using the front panel switches or RS-
232.
Like most Kramer switchers, front panel buttons or RS-232 serial commands can control the VS-5x4.
For applications requiring remote control via a Windows-based personal computer, Kramer’s new K-
Switch software is provided at no additional cost. It is easy to use, dependable, rugged, and fits in one
vertical space of a standard 19” rack.
