KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

 

3  Overview 

The 

VS-41DVI-R

 is a technologically advanced, high quality 4x1 Switcher 

for DVI-D signals supporting the DDWG DVI 1.0 standard.  
With a bandwidth of 1.65GHz, the 

VS-41DVI-R

 can switch signals having 

resolutions up to UXGA, including all HDTV formats. Since high-resolution 

DVI signals are very sensitive to cable quality and to PCB layout, the 

VS-41DVI-R

 uses a carefully designed PCB, which includes all buffering, 

conditioning and amplifying circuitry to provide a re-clocked  

top-notch output signal. 
In addition the 

VS-41DVI-R

Includes a built-in reclocking block that re-generates the DVI signal, so 

that several units may be cascaded 
Can read and store, in non-volatile memory, the EDID

1

 block of the 

display device. It can then provide the EDID information to all of the DVI 

sources even if the display device is not connected 
Does not support HDCP (High Definition Digital Content Protection)  
Has five DVI-I connectors to make it compatible with all types of DVI 

cables  
Fits in one vertical space of a standard 19” professional rack enclosure 

Achieving the best performance means: 

Connecting only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding 

interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and 

elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables) 
Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances and positioning 

your 

VS-41DVI-R

 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
