Getting Started

Overview

3 Overview

The VS-808YC is a true 8x8 matrix switcher for s-Video signals and balanced

stereo audio signals. The high quality VS-808YC lets you simultaneously

route any or all of the 8 inputs to any or all of the 8 outputs.

The VS-808YC 8x8 s-Video / Audio Matrix Switcher features:

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

DC coupled inputs and outputs

Both audio-follow-video and breakaway options

The storing and recalling of 16 setups

A TAKE button for precise switch control

A LOCK button to prevent tampering with the front panel

Control the VS-808YC using the front panel buttons, or remotely via:

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

PC, or other serial controller

The Kramer infrared remote control transmitter or infrared remote extension

cable transmitter (optional), see section 4.1

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-808YC

away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

4.1 Using the IR Transmitter

You can use the RC-IR3 IR transmitter to control the machine via the built-in IR

receiver on the front panel or, instead, via an optional external IR receiver

. The

external IR receiver can be located 15 meters away from the machine. This distance

can be extended to up to 60 meters when used with three extension cables

Before using the external IR receiver, be sure to arrange for your Kramer

dealer to insert the internal IR connection cable

with the 3.5mm connector

that fits into the REMOTE IR opening on the rear panel.

Connect the external IRreceiver to the REMOTE IR 3.5mm connector.
