Getting Started

Overview

3 Overview

The VS-88HD is an HDTV compatible high performance matrix switcher

for HD-SDI and SDI digital video signals. It lets you simultaneously route

any of the eight inputs to any or all of the eight outputs. In particular, the

VS-88HD features:

Input and output signals on BNC connectors

A looping analog sync input with selectable sync signal termination

Switching synchronization, letting you synchronize to either the external

reference or incoming video

Equalization on each input

Each input button on the front panel automatically lights up when the

VS-88HD detects a video signal on that input

Switching according to the Bi-level or Tri-level Genlock input

The storing and recalling of setups

A Take button for the execution of multiple switches all at once

A 7-segment display

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

fed from a 90-240 VAC universal switching power supply, can be controlled

via the:

Front panel buttons

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

screen system, PC, or other serial controller

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-88HD

away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

Figure 1, Table 1, and Table 2 define the VS-88HD 8x8 SD/HD-SDI Matrix

Switcher.

1 Switching is implemented during the vertical interval period according to the SMPTE RP-168 standard, when using

synchronized SDI sources

Installing on a Rack

5 Installing on a Rack

This section describes what to do before installing in a rack and how to rack

mount.

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 +5°to +45°C (41°to 113°F)

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

Storage temperature range -20°to +70°C (-4°to 158°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

http://www.kramerelectronics.com)

Connecting Your VS-88HD 8x8 SD/HD-SDI Matrix Switcher

6 Connecting Your VS-88HD 8x8 SD/HD-SDI Matrix Switcher

You can use your VS-88HD to switch one of the eight standard definition /

high definition SDI inputs to any or all of the eight standard definition / high

definition SDI outputs, as the example in Figure 2 shows.

To connect the VS-88HD 8x8 SD/HD-SDI Matrix Switcher, do the following

1. Connect up to eight SDI sources to the SDI INPUT BNC connectors (for

example, an HD/SD SDI camera to input 1 and an SDI player to input 8).

2. Connect the SDI OUTPUT BNC connectors to up to

eight SDI acceptors

(for example, output 1 to a non linear editor, and output 8 to an HD SDI

display).

3. Set the DIP-switches (see section 6.1).

4. As an option

, connect:

A Genlock source to the SYNC BNC connector

The LOOP BNC connector to the GENLOCK connector of the next

unit in the line, and release the TERM button for looping

5. Connect a PC and/or controller (if required), to the:

RS-232 port (see section 6.2), and/or

RS-485 port (see section 6.3), and/or

6. Connect the power cord

1 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VS-88HD. After connecting your VS-88HD, switch on

its power and then switch on the power on each device

2 When only one output is required, connect that output, and leave the other outputs unconnected

3 Not illustrated in Figure 2

4 Pushed in terminates the input. Release when the input extends to another unit (see section 6.4)

5 We recommend that you use only the power cord that is supplied with this machine

6.1 DIP-switch Settings

By default, DIP-switches 2, 3 and 4 are set to ON (for setting the machine

number to 1) and the other DIP-switches are set to OFF. Figure 3 illustrates

the VS-88HD DIP-switches:
