3 Overview
The
VS-42HC
is a true 4x2 matrix switcher for YUV (Y, Pb/Cb, Pr/Cr) component
video and digital audio (S/PDIF) signals. The high quality
VS-42HC
lets you
simultaneously route any of the 4 inputs to either one or both of the outputs. The
component video and S/PDIF input and output signals are on RCA connectors, and
the S/PDIF channel 2 is also available on optical (TOSLINK
1
) input/output
connectors.
The
VS-42HC
4x2 Home Entertainment Matrix Switcher
features:
A video bandwidth of 200MHz that ensures transparent performance
An audio channel sampling rate of up to 192kHz, including multi-
channel audio (suitable for multi-channel applications, like AC3)
A built-in digital audio delay time, which corrects lip sync errors so that the
audio delay will match the video delay
DC coupled video inputs and outputs
A LOCK button to prevent tampering with the front panel
Control the
VS-42HC
using the front panel buttons, or remotely via:
RS-232 and RS-485 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen
system, PC, or other serial controller
The Kramer infra-red remote control transmitter
The ETHERNET
To achieve the best performance:
Connect 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)
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may
adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer
VS-42HC
away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
