Overview

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

) 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

3.1 Terminology Used in this User Manual

Table 1 defines some terms that are used in this user manual:

Table 1: Terminology Used in this User Manual

Term Definition

802.3 The standard specification for ETHERNET that is maintained by the Institute of Electrical

and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

Dynamic Host

Configuration

Protocol (DHCP)

Allows the network administrator to distribute IP addresses from a central point and

automatically send a new IP address when an Ethernet point is plugged into a different

network location

Gateway A network position serving as an entry to another network. On the Internet, a node or

stopping point can be either a gateway node or a host (end-point) node.

IP Address A 32-binary digit number that identifies each sender or receiver (within a network via a

particular server or workstation) of data (HTML pages or e-mails) that is sent in packets

across the Internet. Every device connected to an IP network must have a unique IP

address. This address is used to reference the specific unit.

Local Area Network

(LAN) Computers sharing a common communications line or wireless link, which often share a

server within a defined geographic area.

Media Access

Control (MAC)

Address

A computer's unique hardware number (or address) in a LAN or other network. On an

Ethernet LAN, the (MAC) address is identical to the Ethernet address.

Transmission

Control

Protocol/Internet

Protocol (TCP/IP)

The basic communication language or protocol of the Internet that breaks the message

into appropriately sized packets for the network, and can be used as a communications

protocol in an intranet or an extranet.

Installing the VS-42HC on a Rack

5 Installing the VS-42HC on a Rack

This section describes what to do before installing on a rack and how to rack

mount.

Before Installing on a Rack

Before installing on a rack, be sure that the environment is

within the recommended range:

Operating temperature range +5 to +45 Deg. Centigrade

Operating humidity range 5 to 65 % RHL, non-condensing

Storage temperature range -20 to +70 Deg. Centigrade

Storage humidity range 5 to 95% RHL, non-condensing

CAUTION!!

When installing on a 19" rack, avoid hazards by taking care

that:

It is located within the recommended environmental

conditions, as the operating ambient temperature of a

closed or multi unit rack assembly may exceed the room

ambient temperature.

Once rack mounted, enough air will still flow around the

machine.

The machine is placed straight in the correct horizontal

position.

You do not overload the circuit(s). When connecting the

machine to the supply circuit, overloading the circuits

might have a detrimental effect on overcurrent

protection and supply wiring. Refer to the appropriate

nameplate ratings for information. For example, for fuse

replacement, see the value printed on the product label.

The machine is earthed (grounded) in a reliable way

and is connected only to an electricity socket with

grounding. Pay particular attention to supply

connections other than direct connections to the branch

circuit (for example, the use of power strips), and that

you use only the power cord that is supplied with the

machine.

How to Rack Mount

To rack-mount the machine:

Attach both ear brackets to the

machine. To do so, remove the

screws from each side of the

machine (3 on each side), and

replace those screws through

the ear brackets.

Place the ears of the machine

against the rack rails, and

insert the proper screws (not

provided) through each of the

four holes in the rack ears.

Note that:

In some models, the front panel

may feature built-in rack ears

Detachable rack ears can be

removed for desktop use

Always mount the machine in the

rack before you attach any cables or

connect the machine to the power

If you are using a Kramer rack

adapter kit (for a machine that is not

19"), see the Rack Adapters user

manual for installation instructions
