Getting Started

2.1 Quick Start

This quick start chart summarizes the basic setup and operation:

Overview

3 Overview

The VS-88HD is a high-performance matrix switcher for HD-SDI and dual

link HD-SDI signals. The unit can switch up to 8 single link inputs to any or

all of 8 single link outputs or 4 dual link inputs to any or all of 4 dual link

outputs.

In particular, the VS-88HD features:

Operation of up to 1.5Gbps – enabling it to be used for standard

definition and high-definition serial digital video signals

(SDI/HD-SDI)

SMPTE 259M, 344M, 292M, and 372M (dual link) compliance

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

1485Mbps

Cable equalization up to 350m for SD

signals and 140m for

1.5GHz HD

signals

Reclocking and equalization on each input, storing and recalling

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

all at once

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 genlock

input according to SMPTE RP-168

The VS-88HD 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:

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-88HD is operated using the Kramer 3000

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

2000 and section 10.2 for the relevant protocol commands)

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

lines of interlaced video

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

or interlaced video

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

KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

Your VS-88HD 8x8 HD-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

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