Overview

3 Overview

The VS-808DS 8x8 Video Audio Matrix Switcher / Scaler is a high

performance matrix switcher for composite video and unbalanced stereo

audio signals. It lets you simultaneously route any or all of the eight inputs to

any or all of the eight outputs, plus one scaled output

(that is, output 8 also

goes to the Scaler). Switching during the vertical interval ensures glitch-free

switching with genlocked sources.

The VS-808DS features:

A video bandwidth of 200MHz that ensures transparent performance even

in the most critical applications

Switching synchronization that lets you synchronize either to the external

reference or to the incoming video

Both audio-follow-video and breakaway options

The storing of eight setups

(presets) to be recalled and executed when

needed

A TAKE button for executing multiple switches all at once

The ability to control via the front panel buttons, via the infra-red remote

control transmitter, via an external remote IR receiver (optional

) and

remotely by RS-485 or RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch

screen system, PC, or other serial controller

Scaled graphics output resolutions: VGA (640x480), SVGA (800x600),

XGA (1024x768), or WXGA (1366x768)

Acceptance of PAL-B/D/G/H/I, NTSC 3.58, and NTSC 4.43 video formats

The VS-808DS is housed in a 19" 2U rack-mountable enclosure and is fed

from a 100-240 VAC universal switching power supply.

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 and position

your VS-808DS away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

This section defines the front and rear panels of the VS-808DS 8x8 Video

Audio Matrix Switcher / Scaler:

1 The signal that is converted via the scaled output is the input signal that is routed to output 8

2 Note, that the saved setup does not include the scaler setup
