Getting Started

2.1 Quick Start

This quick start chart summarizes the basic setup and operation:

Overview

3 Overview

The VS-88HDxl is a high-performance matrix switcher for 3G HD-SDI and

HD-SDI dual link signals. The unit can switch up to eight single link inputs

to any or all of eight single link outputs or four dual link inputs to any or all

of four dual link outputs.

In particular, the VS-88HDxl features:

•Operation of up to 2.97Gbps – enabling it to be used for standard

definition, high-definition and 3G high-definition serial digital

video signals (SD/HD/3G HD-SDI)

•SMPTE 259M, 292M, 424M, and 372M (dual link) compliance

and support for data rates of 270Mbps, 1483.5Mbps, 1485Mbps

and 2970Mbps

•Cable equalization up to 350m for SD1signals, 140m for 1.5GHz

HD2

•Reclocking and equalization on each input, storing and recalling

setups, and a TAKE button for the execution of multiple switches

all at once

signals, and 120m for 3GHz HD signals

•The ability to switch genlocked video signals according to the

timing of the genlock reference input. Switching according to the

bi-level or tri-level genlock3

The VS-88HDxl is housed in a 19" 1U rack-mountable enclosure, and is fed

from a 100-240 VAC universal switching power supply. The unit can be

controlled via the front panel buttons or via:

input according to SMPTE RP-168

•An infrared remote control transmitter

•An infrared remote extension cable transmitter

•Remotely, by RS-232 or RS-485 serial commands transmitted by a

PC, touch screen system, or other serial controller

•The Ethernet

•By default, the VS-88HDxl is operated using the Kramer 3000

protocol (see section 7.1.9 for details of how to switch to Protocol

2000 and section 9.2 for the relevant protocol commands)

1 Standard Definition (SD) means an NTSC or PAL compatible video format, consisting of 480 (for NTSC) or 576 (for PAL)

lines of interlaced video

2 High Definition (HD) means a video format, consisting of 720 active lines of progressive video or 1080 lines of progressive

or interlaced video

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

KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

Your VS-88HDxl 8x8 3G SD/HD-SDI Matrix Switcher

To achieve the best performance:

•Use only good quality connection cables1

•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may

adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer

VS-88HDxl away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

to avoid interference,

deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated

noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)

Function

1 IR Receiver The yellow LED illuminates when receiving signals from the infrared remote

control transmitter

2 POWER LED Illuminates when the unit is ON

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

4 OFF Button Pressing OFF+OUT disconnects that output from the inputs;

pressing OFF+ALL disconnects all the outputs;

a long press toggles between dual link and normal mode

5 IN SELECT Buttons Select the input to switch to the output;

long presses on buttons IN1 to IN5 change the genlock timing (see Table 5)

6 OUT SELECT Buttons Select the output to which the input is switched

7 STO (STORE) Button Pressing STO followed by an IN / OUT button stores the current setting

8 RCL (RECALL) Button Pressing the RCL button and the corresponding INPUT / OUTPUT key recalls a

setup from the non-volatile memory

9 LOCK Button A long press toggles activation/inactivation of the front panel buttons;

pressing LOCK+OUT2 selects Protocol 2000; pressing LOCK+OUT3 selects

Protocol 3000

10 TAKE Button Pressing TAKE toggles the mode between the CONFIRM mode and the AT

ONCE mode (user confirmation per action is unnecessary)

11 7-segment Display Displays the selected input switched to the output (marked above each input)
