performance even in the most critical applications. Three SYNC switching

options make the VS-3232Vxl appropriate for a wide range of glitch-free

transition applications. The VS-3232Vxl can be used as a standalone unit, or

configured as a part of a multi-signal Kramer switcher system, in which all

units switch simultaneously.

The VS-3232Vxl features:

Full 32x32 non-blocking matrix array to switch any of the 32 input video

signals to any or all outputs

A video bandwidth of over 500MHz at 3dB along with 0.1dB flatness to

50MHz

Four switching options, one for immediate switching and three for SYNC

switching

59 preset memory locations for quick access to user-defined special

configurations

Fast access to a preprogrammed default preset configuration (UNITY setting)

Two communication protocols – the Kramer 2000 and the limited Sierra

ASCII

Easy upgrading of the firmware via the Internet

An 80x2 symbol LCD panel with user-friendly information and a

configuration menu

Optional connection to several switchers in one multi-signal video-audio

control system

A LOCK button/remote function to prevent tampering with the front panel

Control the VS-3232Vxl via the front panel buttons, or:

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

screen system, PC, or other serial controller

Via the ETHERNET

Via the infra-red remote control transmitter

KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

Your Video Matrix Switcher

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-3232Vxl

in a location free from moisture and away from excessive sunlight and

dust
