KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

Overview

A main advantage of the VS-1616SDI is that it forms part of the series of

16x16 matrix switchers that includes, but is not limited to, VS-1616A (a

16x16 analog balanced stereo audio matrix switcher), VS-1616V (a 16x16

analog video matrix switcher), VS-1616AD (a 16x16 digital audio matrix

switcher), VS-162V (a 16x16 video matrix switcher), and VS-162AV (a

16x16 audio-video matrix switcher).

In particular, the VS-1616SDI:

Is a true matrix switcher, enabling the user to simultaneously route

any or all of the 16 inputs to any or all of the 16 outputs

Provides automatic equalization for losses on 75co-axial cable

Reclocks each output to provide 16 low-jitter serial digital outputs

Has automatic video standard recognition

Accepts either analog or serial video as the external source for its

vertical trigger. Alternately, input # 1 can be assigned as the sync

source

In addition the VS-1616SDI:

Can be configured into a Kramer multi-signal switcher system

including digital and analog video, digital and analog audio, and

RS-422 control switchers

When integrated in a system, all units switch in true audio-follow-

video mode

Recalls up to 99 configuration setups via the non-volatile memory

and provides for an unlimited quantity of setups when using the

Kramer control software on your PC

Includes a user-friendly LCD display (making operation even

easier)

With its FLASH memory, lets you upgrade to the latest Kramer

firmware version via Internet download

Comes with a choice of protocol format: hexadecimal or ASCII

You can control the VS-1616SDI using:

The front panel buttons

Remotely, by RS-485 or RS-232 serial commands transmitted by

a touch screen system, PC, or other serial controller

Remotely, from the Kramer RC-IR2 Infra-Red Remote Control

Transmitter

External dry-contact push-buttons

Operating a Single Machine

To achieve the best performance:

Use only good quality connection cables

to avoid 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

VS-1616SDI away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust.

4 Operating a Single Machine

By default, the VS-1616SDI is setup for use as a single machine. This

means that it is:

A 16x16 SDI video switcher

Switched during the vertical interval of the external analog reference

In particular, be sure that the dipswitches are set as shown in Figure 1 (see

section 6.3 for further details). To operate a single machine, see Table 1.

Figure 1: Default Dipswitch Setup on a Single Machine

Table 1: Quick Reference Operating Guide for a Single Machine

To perform this command: Press:

Connect an input with an output OUT #; IN #

Clear (disconnect) a specific output OUT #; OFF

Clear (disconnect) all outputs ALL; OFF

Connect all outputs to a specific input ALL; IN #

Store a setup STO; OUT #; TAKE

Recall a setup RCL; OUT #; TAKE

Lock front panel MENU; TAKE

Unlock front panel TAKE; TAKE

Change default setup Press the Menu button several times until you reach the

appropriate Menu setup command and follow the instructions
