VS-88FO – Getting Started

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

Review the contents of this user manual

Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/product_downloads.asp

to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if

firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-

performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in

signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often

associated with low quality cables)

Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

Position your Kramer VS-88FO away from moisture, excessive sunlight and

dust

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be

connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

2.2 Safety Instructions

Caution:

There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit

Warning:

Use only the power cord that is supplied with the unit

Warning:

Do not open the unit. High voltages can cause

electrical shock! Servicing by qualified personnel only

Warning:

Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall

before installing

2.3 Recycling Kramer Products

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC

aims to reduce the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration by

requiring it to be collected and recycled. To comply with the WEEE Directive,

Kramer Electronics has made arrangements with the European Advanced

Recycling Network (EARN) and will cover any costs of treatment, recycling and

recovery of waste Kramer Electronics branded equipment on arrival at the EARN

facility. For details of Kramer’s recycling arrangements in your particular country

go to our recycling pages at http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/recycling/.

VS-88FO – Overview

3 Overview

The VS-88FO is a high-performance matrix switcher for fiber optic signals. It can

switch any or all inputs to any or all outputs simultaneously.

In particular, the VS-88FO features:

A maximum data rate of up to 3Gbps, enabling it to be used for standard

definition, high-definition and the new 3G high definition serial digital video

signals (3G HD-SDI)

A range of up to 40km (depending on the SFP module used)

HDTV compatibility

A single mode SFP (small form-factor pluggable) SDI fiber optic connector

for the input and the output

A looping analog sync for genlock –bi-level and tri-level sync compatible

Selectable sync signal termination

Automatic reclocking and equalization

Active input reporting where each input LED on the front panel automatically

lights when the unit detects a video signal on that input

Multiple memory locations that store multiple switches as presets (salvos) to

be recalled and executed when needed

A Take button that executes multiple switches all at once

Vertical interval switching that synchronizes either to an external reference

or to the incoming video in compliance with SMPTE RP-168

Flexible control options including front panel, RS-232 (K-router™

Windows®-based software is included), RS-485, Ethernet and IR

Laser Class I acc. 21 CFR 1040 and Class 1 per IEC 60825-1 compliance

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

100-240V AC universal switching power supply.

VS-88FO - Overview

The unit can be controlled using the front panel buttons or using:

An RC-IR3 infrared remote control transmitter (included)

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-88FO is controlled using the Kramer 3000 protocol (see

Section 6.1.9 for details of how to switch to Protocol 2000 and Section 9for the

relevant protocol commands).

3.1 Defining the SFP

An SFP is a small form-factor pluggable transceiver that is a compact, hot-

swappable, input/output transceiver used in data communication and

telecommunications networks. The SFP interfaces between communication

devices like switches, routers and fiber optic cables, and performs conversions

between optical and electrical signals.

The SFP transceiver is specified by the SFP Transceiver Multisource Agreement

(MSA), which was developed and is followed by different transceiver

manufacturers. SFP transceivers have a wide range of detachable interfaces to

multimode/single-mode fiber optics that allows users to select the appropriate

transceiver according to the required optical range for the network. The VS-88FO

supports use of non-MSA (SFP Transceiver Multisource Agreement) video

modules and MSA communication modules.

The optical transceiver modules are engineered for exceptional performance in the

presence of SDI pathological patterns. The transceivers feature best-in-class

optical receiver sensitivity for SMPTE 259M, SMPTE 344M, SMPTE 292M and

SMPTE 424M serial rates, to provide superior optical link budget and robustness.
