2VS-5x5 - 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

•Use Kramer high performance high resolution cables

•Use only the power cord that is supplied with this machine

Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com 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 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

•Position your Kramer VS-5x5 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and

dust

2.2 Firmware Upgrade

For instructions on upgrading the firmware, see the document: Upgrading the

VS-5x5 Firmware.

The latest version of firmware and installation instructions can be downloaded

from the Kramer Web site at www.kramerelectronics.com.

VS-5x5 - Overview 3

3 Overview

The VS-5x5 is a true 5x5 matrix switcher for composite video signals and

balanced stereo audio signals. The VS-5x5 lets you simultaneously route any or

all of the 5 inputs to any or all of the 5 outputs.

The VS-5x5 5x5 Video Audio Matrix Switcher includes:

•Video bandwidth of 70MHz that ensures transparent performance

•Easy-to-connect detachable terminal block connectors for the audio signals

•Glitch-free transitions, which are produced when sources share a common

reference sync, as switching occurs during the vertical interval. Any input or

special external sync input may be selected as the vertical interval source

•DC coupled inputs and outputs

•Audio-follow-video and breakaway options

•The storing and recalling of setups

•A “Take” button for precise switch control

•A “Lock” button to prevent tampering with the front panel

•Gain control for all inputs and all outputs

Control the VS-5x5 via:

•The front panel buttons, infrared remote control transmitter, and remotely by

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

PC, RC-IR3 or other serial controller

The VS-5x5 is housed in a 19” 1U rack mountable enclosure, with rack “ears”

included and is fed from a 100-240V AC universal switching power supply.

3.1 Defining the VS-5x5 5x5 Video Audio Matrix Switcher

This section defines the VS-5x5 5x5 Video Audio Matrix Switcher:

Figure 1: VS-5x5 Video Audio Matrix Switcher - Front Panel

# Feature Function

1 IR Receiver The yellow LED is illuminated when receiving signals from the infrared remote control transmitter

2 POWER Switch Illuminated switch for turning the unit ON or OFF

3 OUT Buttons Select the output to which the input is switched

4 IN Buttons Select the input to switch to the output

5 ALL Button Pressing ALL followed by an INPUT button, connects that input to all outputs

For example, press ALL and then Input button # 2 to connect input # 2 to all the outputs

6 OFF Button An OFF-OUT combination disconnects that output from the inputs; an OFF-ALL combination disconnects all the outputs

7 7-segment display Displays the selected audio or video input switched to the output (marked above each input). When audio breakaway mode

is selected the Audio button illuminates. When the video breakaway mode is selected the Video button illuminates.

Also displays the number of IN and OUT ports, the firmware version number, and the MACHINE #. Refer to Section 7.1

8 VIDEO Button When pressed actions relate to video. When the video breakaway mode is selected the VIDEO button illuminates

9 AFV Button When pressed actions relate to video and audio channels. Audio channels follow the video channels. When the AFV mode

is selected the AFV button illuminates

10 AUDIO Button When pressed actions relate to audio. When the audio breakaway mode is selected the AUDIO button illuminates

11 STO (STORE) Button Pressing STO followed by an output button stores the current setting

For example, press STO and then the Output button # 3 to store in Setup # 3

12 RCL (RECALL) Button Pressing the RCL button and the corresponding OUTPUT key recalls a setup from the non-volatile memory. The stored

status flashes. Pressing a different OUTPUT button lets you view another setup. After making your choice, pressing the

RCL button again implements the new status

Only view, nothing is implemented at this stage

13 TAKE Button Pressing TAKE toggles the mode between the CONFIRM mode and the AT ONCE mode (user confirmation per action is

unnecessary). When in Confirm mode, the TAKE button illuminates

14 LOCK Button Disengages the front panel switches

Matrix Switcher

Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your

VS-5x5. After connecting your VS-5x5, connect its power and then

switch on the power to each device.

This section describes how to connect the VS-5x5. In particular, how to:

•Connect the VS-5x5 rear panel (see Section 5.1)

•Control via RS-232, for example, using a PC (see Section 5.2)

•Control via RS-485 (see Section 5.3)

•Connect the audio inputs/outputs (see Section 5.4)

•Set the DIP-switches (see Section 5.5)

5.1 Connecting the VS-5x5 Rear Panel

To connect the VS-5x5, do the following:

Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VS-5x5. After connecting your VS-5x5,

switch on its power and then switch on the power on each device. DO NOT push in the rear panel Flash

Program “Program” button and DO NOT push in the underside Flash Program “Reset” button. These are only

used for upgrade to the latest Kramer firmware.

1. Connect up to 5 composite video sources (for example, composite video

recorders) to the 5 BNC input connectors, and connect up to 5 balanced

stereo audio sources to the “AUDIO INPUTS” terminal block connectors.

See Section 5.4 for a description of how to connect a balanced/unbalanced stereo audio input/output

2. Connect the 5 composite video output connectors to up to 5 composite video

acceptors and connect the corresponding “AUDIO OUTPUTS” terminal

block connectors to the balanced stereo audio acceptors.

When less than five outputs are required, connect only those outputs that are required, and leave the

other outputs unconnected

3. Set the DIP-switches (see Section 5.5).

4. Connect a PC and/or controller (if required) to the RS-232 port (see Section

5.2) and/or RS-485 port (see Section 5.3).
