Getting to Know Your VS-101AV Switcher
The Kramer
VS-101AV
is a high quality mechanical 10x1 switcher for composite video and stereo audio
signals. It is designed for applications requiring an unpowered rack mountable unit for routing of video and
stereo audio signals. 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. The
VS-101AV
is extremely rugged and dependable. Its unpowered, passive design can be an
advantage in applications where various regulatory compliances would otherwise be required. The “hard-wire”
signal path offers excellent bandwidth, and can also switch other signal formats. Due to the mechanical mode of
operation, the machine can be used “backwards” – functioning as a 1x10 switcher.
Front/rear panel features of the
VS-101AV
