VS-88DVI - Overview 

 

Overview 

The 

VS

−88DVI

 is a high

−performance matrix

 switcher for DVI signals. The unit 

reclocks and equalizes the signal and can route any or all inputs to any or all 

outputs simultaneously. 

DVI-D (Digital). Note that only the digital signal (DVI-D) is available on the DVI connector. 

The 

VS-88DVI

 features: 

 

A maximum data rate of 6.75Gbps (2.25Gbps per graphic channel) 

 

HDTV compatibility

 

 

Kramer Equalization & re-Klocking™ Technology that rebuilds the digital 

signal integrity to travel longer distances 

 

I-EDIDPro™ Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing™ an intelligent EDID 

handling & processing algorithm that ensures Plug and Play operation for 

DVI systems 

 

Flexible control options: front panel, IR remote, RS

−232, Ethernet 

 

 

Output disconnect for each output 

 

Front panel lockout

 

 

16 memory locations that store multiple switches as presets  

 

A 100

−240V AC 

worldwide power supply  

 

A standard 19” rack mount size, 2U with rack “ears” included 

Control the 

VS-88DVI

 using the front panel buttons, or remotely via: 

 

RS-232 serial commands  

 

The Kramer infrared remote control transmitter 

 

The Ethernet 

 

An optional external remote IR receiver
