VS-4228 - Getting Started

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

Review the contents of this user manual

to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check

if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-

performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in

signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often

associated with low quality cables)

Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

Position your Kramer VS-4228 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and

dust

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be

connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

3.2 About RS-422

RS-422 control switchers differ substantially from video and audio switchers in

both design and in operation, as Sections 3.2.1 to 3.2.6 describe.

3.2.1 Signal Terminology

Connections are between master and slave or controller and controlled devices,

rather than the regular In and Out or source and destination devices. The

difference is not merely one of semantics but a vital distinction when trying to

understand the concept of RS-422 technology.

A regular In and Out switcher has separate input and output buttons on the front

panel and separate ports for input and output connectors on the rear panel.

A master and slave control switcher, has separate master and slave buttons on

the front panel but shared master/slave connectors on the rear panel.

3.2.2 Bi-directional Signals

By using a pair of conductors, each signal travels in both directions over a

balanced line between master/slave devices, as Figure 3 illustrates:

Figure 3: Bi-directional Signals I

When a master device changes position with a slave device, the pins automatically

change, as Section 3.2.4 describes and as Figure 4 illustrates:
