Getting Started

2.1 Quick Start

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

Overview

3 Overview

The VS-120 20 x 1 Sequential Video Audio Switcher is a programmable

scanning video switcher that accepts up to 20 inputs when operating as a

standalone unit, sequentially cycling the 20 video and audio stereo sources.

In manual mode it operates as a switcher and in automatic mode it operates

as a scanner. The fully programmable EEPROM/NOVRAM memory saves

and recalls all user-defined setups. Specifically, the VS-120 20 x 1

Sequential Video Audio Switcher features:

Support for connecting up to 99 VS-120 units to form a

switcher/scanner with up to 1980 inputs

Control via the front panel buttons or by RS-232 or RS-485

commands transmitted by a PC, touch screen system, or other

serial controller

Switching during the vertical interval, to ensure glitch-free

transitions between genlocked sources

Fully microprocessor controlled operation

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

VS-120 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

Installing the VS-120 in a Rack

4 Installing the VS-120 in a Rack

This section describes how to install the VS-120 in a rack.

Before Installing in a rack How to Rack Mount

Before installing in a rack, be sure that the environment is

within the recommended range:

Operating temperature range 5º to 45º C (41º to 113º F)

Operating humidity range 10 to 90% RHL, non-condensing

Storage temperature range -20º to +70º C (-4º to +158º F)

Storage humidity range 5 to 95% RHL, non-condensing



CAUTION!!

When installing on a 19" rack, avoid hazards by taking

care that:

1. It is located within the recommended environmental

conditions, as the operating ambient temperature of a

closed or multi unit rack assembly may exceed the

room ambient temperature.

2. Once rack mounted, enough air will still flow around

the machine.

3. The machine is placed straight in the correct

horizontal position.

4. You do not overload the circuit(s). When connecting

the machine to the supply circuit, overloading the

circuits might have a detrimental effect on overcurrent

protection and supply wiring. Refer to the appropriate

nameplate ratings for information. For example, for

fuse replacement, see the value printed on the

product label.

5. The machine is earthed (grounded) in a reliable way

and is connected only to an electricity socket with

grounding. Pay particular attention to situations where

electricity is supplied indirectly (when the power cord

is not plugged directly into the socket in the wall), for

example, when using an extension cable or a power

strip, and that you use only the power cord that is

supplied with the machine.

To rack-mount a machine:

1. Attach both ear brackets to the

machine. To do so, remove the

screws from each side of the

machine (3 on each side), and

replace those screws through the

ear brackets.

2. Place the ears of the machine

against the rack rails, and insert the

proper screws (not provided)

through each of the four holes in the

rack ears.

Note that:

In some models, the front panel

may feature built-in rack ears

Detachable rack ears can be

removed for desktop use

Always mount the machine in the

rack before you attach any cables

or connect the machine to the

power

If you are using a Kramer rack

adapter kit (for a machine that is not

19"), see the Rack Adapters user

manual for installation instructions

Connecting the VS-120

5 Connecting the VS-120

To connect the VS-120, as shown in Figure 2, do the following

1. Connect up to 20 video-audio stereo sources to the appropriate input video

BNC connectors and input AUDIO L and AUDIO R RCA connectors (for

example, video players 1 to 20).

2. Connect the output video BNC connectors (for example, to one or two

displays) and output AUDIO L and AUDIO R RCA connectors to up to

two audio stereo acceptors (for example, the amplifier).

3. If required, you can connect a PC and/or controller to the RS-232 or RS-485

ports (as shown below). To combine multiple units, connect them using the

RS-485 ports.

4. Connect the power cord to the mains electricity (not shown in

Figure 2).

1 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VS-120. After connecting your VS-120, switch on its

power and then switch on the power on each device
