Getting Started

Overview

3 Overview

The VS-44HD is a true 4x4 matrix switcher

for standard definition / high

definition SDI signals that lets you simultaneously route any of the four

inputs to any or all of the four outputs. It can be used as a 4x4 SD/HD-SDI

matrix switcher or as a dual-link 2x2 SD/HD-SDI Matrix switcher. The

VS-44HD features:

Input and output signals on BNC connectors and selector buttons that

automatically light up in different colors—green, when the VS-44HD

detects a ‘standard definition’ signal, or blue, when it detects a ‘high

definition’ signal

Reclocking and equalization on each input

The ability to switch genlocked video signals according to timing of the

GENLOCK reference input. Switching according to the Bi-level or

Tri-level Genlock input according to SMPTE RP-168

Factory reset that lets you reset the machine to its original default state

The storing and recalling of setups, a Take button for the execution of

multiple switches all at once, and a front panel lock

The VS-44HD is housed in a 19" 1U rack mountable enclosure and is fed

from a 100-240 VAC universal switching power supply. Control is via the

front panel buttons, infrared remote control transmitter, and/or remotely, by

RS 232 or RS 485 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system, PC,

or other serial controller, as well as ETHERNET or remote contact closure for

forced operation.

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-44HD

away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

4 Your VS-44HD 4x4 SD/HD-SDI Matrix Switcher

Figure 1, Table 1, and Table 2 define the VS-44HD 4x4 SD/HD-SDI Matrix

Switcher.

1 Switching is implemented during the vertical interval period according to the SMPTE RP-168 standard, when using

synchronized SDI sources

The sources must be genlocked to the GENLOCK input in order to switch cleanly

Installing on a Rack

5 Installing on a Rack

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

mount.

Before Installing in a Rack How to Rack Mount

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

within the recommended range:

Operating temperature range +5°to +45°C (41°to 113°F)

Operating humidity range 10 to 90% RHL, non-condensing

Storage temperature range -20°to +70°C (-4°to 158°F)

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



CAUTION!!

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

care that:

1. 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.

2. Once rack mounted, enough air will still flow around

the machine.

3. The machine is placed straight in the correct

horizontal position.

4. 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.

5. The machine is earthed (grounded) in a reliable way

and is connected only to an electricity socket with

grounding. Pay particular attention to situations where

electricity is supplied indirectly (when the power cord

is not plugged directly into the socket in the wall), for

example, when using an extension cable or a power

strip, and that you use only the power cord that is

supplied with the machine.

To rack-mount a machine:

1. 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.

2. 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

Connecting Your VS-44HD

6 Connecting Your VS-44HD

This section describes how to connect the VS-44HD as a:

4x4 SD/HD SDI Matrix Switcher, see section 6.1

Dual-Link 2x2 SD/HD-SDI Matrix Switcher, see section 6.2

6.1 Connecting Your VS-44HD 4x4 SD/HD-SDI Matrix Switcher

You can use your VS-44HD to switch one of the four standard definition / high

definition SDI inputs to any or all of the four standard definition / high

definition SDI outputs, as the example in Figure 2 shows.

To connect the VS-44HD 4x4 SD/HD-SDI Matrix Switcher, do the following

1. Connect up to four SDI sources to the SDI INPUT BNC connectors (for

example, an HD/SD SDI camera to input 1 and an HD video player to input 4).

2. Connect the SDI OUTPUT BNC connectors to up to

four SDI acceptors

(for example, output 1 to a Preview monitor, and output 4 to an HD SDI

mixer).

3. Set the dipswitches (see section 6.4).

4. As an option

, connect:

A Genlock source to the GENLOCK BNC connector

The LOOP BNC connector to the GENLOCK connector of the next

unit in the line, and release the TERM button for looping

5. Connect a PC and/or controller (if required), to the:

RS-232 port (see section 6.5), and/or

RS-485 port (see section 6.6), and/or

ETHERNET connector (see section 6.9)

6. As an option

, connect a remote contact closure switch (refer to section 6.10)

7. Connect the power cord

1 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VS-44HD. After connecting your VS-44HD, switch on

its power and then switch on the power on each device

2 When only one output is required, connect that output, and leave the other outputs unconnected

3 Not illustrated in Figure 2

4 Pushed in terminates the input. Release when the input extends to another unit

5 We recommend that you use only the power cord that is supplied with this machine
