INSTALLATION 

6.1 

Rack Mounting 

The 

VS-41AV

 and 

VS-4X

 switchers may be rack-mounted in a standard 19” (1U) EIA rack assembly. The VS-

101AV has rack “ears” at the ends of the front panel. To mount the 

VS-101AV

 switcher, simply place the rack 

ears against the rack rails of your rack, and insert standard screws through each of the four corner holes in the 
rack ears. The 

VS-41AV

 and 

VS-4X

 require special rack adapters (see section 4.1). For installation procedure, 

follow the instructions in the installation guide enclosed with the adapter. The switchers in this manual do not 
require any spacing above or below them for ventilation. 

7. 

CONNECTING to VIDEO DEVICES 

Video sources and output devices (such as monitors or recorders) may be connected to the switchers through the 
BNC type connectors located on the back of the machines (models 

VS-41AV

 and 

VS-101AV

.) 

8. 

CONNECTING to AUDIO DEVICES 

Audio sources and output devices, such as amplifiers or recorders, may be connected to all the switchers 
through the RCA type connectors, or through the female/male XLR type connectors (

VS-4X

), located on the 

back panels of the machines.  

9. 

USING the VIDEO /AUDIO SWITCHERS 

9.1 

 Controlling the Switcher 

The switchers in this manual do not need to be activated, since they do not require any external power.  

 

NOTE 

 The operation of all the switchers described in this manual 
is similar. The 

VS-41AV

 operation is described and may 

be applied accordingly to the others. 

 

Operation of the 

VS-41AV

 switcher is as follows: 

1)  Connect up to four video/stereo-audio sources to the input sockets of the switcher. 
2)  Connect a video/ stereo-audio acceptor to the output socket of the switcher. 
3)  Press one of the buttons marked “1”, “2” etc. on the front panel to select the required input to be switched 

to the output. These buttons correspond to the input connections as marked on the back panel. 

4)  Operate sources and acceptors.
