5.1 

Getting to Know Your VS-41AV Switcher 

 The Kramer 

VS-41AV 

is a high quality, mechanical 4x1 Video / Audio stereo switcher in a compact desktop 

enclosure. Audio is always switched together with the corresponding video signal, and unselected video inputs 
terminate into a 75-ohm resistor.  High quality switching components provide excellent isolation between 
inputs. Due to the mechanical mode of operation, the machine can be used “backwards” – functioning as a 1x4 
switcher. Front/rear panel features of the 

VS-41AV

 are described in Figure 1 and Table 1.
