Getting To Know Your VS-3000 Remote Controller
The Kramer
VS-3000
is a Master Programmable Remote Control System, designed for broadcast and
industrial studio applications. It can control the latest Kramer switchers and can be easily upgraded to
be used with future Kramer switchers. Using the built-in RS-232 and RS-485 interfaces, the
VS-3000
can create any configuration consisting of one PC, up to 15 remote controllers and up to 15 switchers.
It can control a stand-alone switcher or can be a part of a system, controlling and reflecting the status
of all connected devices. The
VS-3000
itself may be activated, or an internal pre-set recalled, using
dry contact-closure control. It can control up to 128 inputs/outputs combinations.
The
VS-3000
can address the individual functions of the connected devices, such as crosspoint
connections, audio follow video or breakaway, etc. It can internally store and recall various setups for
convenient and instant studio control. The unit may be rack or desktop mounted due to its shallow-
profile and 19 inch design. It is operated by a 12VDC power source, qualifying it for field operation.
Front/rear panel features of the VS-3000 are described in Figure 1 and Table 1.
