3 Overview 

The 

VS-211HDxl 

is a high-performance automatic standby switcher for 

SD/HD-SDI and 3G HD-SDI video signals. The 

VS-211HDxl 

automatically switches to the secondary input whenever the primary video 
signal is interrupted. If the primary signal reappears, the unit automatically 
switches back to the primary input. 

In addition, the 

VS-211HDxl 

features: 

 

Maximum data rate of up to 2.97Gbps 

 

Multi-standard operation – SMPTE 259M, 292M and 424M 
compliance and support for data rates of 270Mbps, 1483.5Mbps, 
1485Mbps and 2970Mbps 

 

A DEFAULT INPUT switch for selecting the default SDI master 
source signal 

 

Contact closure remote control for forced operation 

 

Active switching and has flexible sync detection and 
reconstruction circuitry 

To achieve the best performance: 

 

Use only good quality connection cables

1

 to avoid interference, 

deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated 
noise levels (often associated with low quality cables) 

 

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that 
may adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer 

VS-211HDxl 

away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
