Getting Started

2.1 Quick Start

This quick start chart summarizes the basic setup and operation steps.

Overview

3 Overview

The 88 Series is a group of 8x8 vertical interval matrix switchers for

video/stereo audio/data signals that support the simultaneous connection of

one or more inputs to several outputs

The major innovation with the 88 Series is the ability to switch different

kinds of signals simultaneously. Vertical interval switching ensures an

undisturbed picture transition. Switching is implemented according to the

SMPTE RP-168 standard, when using synchronized SDI sources.

The 88 Series includes the following items:

VS-88A 8 x 8 Balanced Audio Matrix Switcher

VS-88V 8 x 8 Video Matrix Switcher

SD-7588V 8 x 8 SDI Matrix Switcher

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 and position your Kramer

products away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

4 Your Matrix Switchers

This section describes the products

in the 88 Series range that can function

separately

or switch together in the same manner in the In System mode

1 However, you cannot connect two or more inputs to a single output

2 Available from Kramer Electronics on our Web site at http://www.kramerelectronics.com

3 Switchers in the 88 Series share identical front panel controls. The VS-88V and SD-7588V have rear panel BNC

connectors. The VS-88A has rear panel detachable terminal block connectors

4 Standalone

5 Section 7.1 describes the different modes

KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

Your Matrix Switchers

4.1 Your VS-88A 8 x 8 Balanced Audio Matrix Switcher

The VS-88A is a high-performance 8x8 stereo audio matrix switcher for

balanced audio stereo signals using detachable terminal block connectors. In

addition, the VS-88A:

Is a true matrix switcher, enabling the user to simultaneously route

any input to any or all outputs

Delivers excellent audio performance ensuring that it remains

transparent in almost any audio application

Is controllable via the front panel buttons as well as the built-in

RS-232 and RS-485 interfaces

Includes 15 preset memory locations for quickly and easily

accessing the most frequently used configurations

Functions as a standalone unit as well as part of a Kramer multi-

signal switcher system

Figure 1 and Table 1 define the VS-88A:

1 Which includes digital and analog video, digital and analog audio and RS-422 control switchers. When integrated in a

system, it switches together with the video during the vertical interval, thus supporting true IN SYSTEM mode

Table 1: VS-88A 8x8 Balanced Audio Matrix Switcher Features

# Feature Function

1 POWER Switch Illuminated switch supplying power to the unit

2 ALL Button Pressing ALL before pressing an IN button, connects that input to all outputs

3 OFF Button Pressing OFF after pressing an OUT button disconnects that output from the

inputs. To turn off the connections, press the ALL button and then the OFF

button

4 OUT Select the output to which the input is switched (from 1 to 8)

SELECT

Buttons IN Select the input to switch to the output (from 1 to 8)

5 STO Button Pressing STO (Store) followed by an output button stores the current setting

(see section 7.3.1)

6 RCL Button Pressing the RCL (Recall) button and the corresponding OUT key recalls a

setup. Press the RCL button again to implement the new status (see section

7.3.2)

7 IN SYSTEM Button Pressing IN SYSTEM twice

, switches between the Standalone mode (in which

the switcher implements any action independently from the others) and the In

System mode (in which all switchers implement the same action simultaneously)

8 TAKE Button

(TAKE = CONFIRM)

Pressing TAKE toggles the mode between the CONFIRM mode

and the AT

ONCE mode (user confirmation per action is unnecessary)

9 OUTPUT labels Identifies a connection between the output and the input shown below it

INPUT Status Display Displays the selected input switched to the output (marked above each input)

10 INPUT Terminal Block

Connectors Connect to balanced stereo audio sources (from 1 to 8)

11 OUTPUT Terminal

Block Connectors Connect to balanced stereo audio acceptors (from 1 to 8)

12 MACHINE # DIP-switches setup (see section 7.2.1)

13 RS-485 Connector RS-485 detachable terminal block port. Pins # 1 to # 3 are for RS 485 and pin #

4 is for vertical sync distribution

14 Power Connector with

Fuse AC connector enabling power supply to the unit

15 RS-232 OUT 9-pin

D-sub Connector Connects to the RS-232 IN 9-pin D-sub port of the next unit in the daisy-chain

connection

16 RS-232 IN 9-pin

D-sub Connector Connects to PC

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

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

3 After pressing IN SYSTEM once, it blinks

4 When in Confirm mode, the TAKE button illuminates

5 The 88 Series RS-485 connector has 4 pins, and the Remote Controller RS-485 connector has just 3 pins

6 If the unit is the final unit in the daisy-chain connection, no termination is required

4.2 Your VS-88V 8x8 Video Matrix Switcher

The VS-88V is a high-performance 8x8 Video Matrix Switcher for

composite video signals. In addition, the VS-88V:

Is a true matrix switcher, enabling the user to simultaneously route

any input to any or all outputs

Supports more than 200MHz video bandwidth

Switches during the vertical interval

Accepts analog video as the external source for its vertical interval

trigger

Is controllable via the front panel buttons as well as the built-in

RS-232 and RS-485 interfaces

Includes 15 preset memory locations for quickly and easily

accessing the most frequently used configurations

Functions as a standalone unit as well as part of a Kramer multi-

signal switcher system

Can be combined as part of a group of VS-88V switchers that

comprise a component switcher

Figure 2 and Table 2 define the VS-88V:

1 Transitions are glitch-free when sources share a common reference sync

2 Which includes digital and analog video, digital and analog audio, and RS-422 control switchers. When integrated into a

system, it can provide the rest of switchers with the vertical interval trigger
