Using the Front Panel Controls | Kramer Electronics VS-4X4 guide

12.USING the VS-4X4YC

12.1Turning on the Matrix

The matrix should only be turned on after all connections are completed, and all source devices have been turned on. Do not attempt to connect or disconnect any video, audio or control signals to the switcher while it is turned on. Pressing the toggle switch on the far-left front panel to the up position . turns on the matrix. In the up position, the toggle switch glows.

12.2Using the Front Panel Controls

The front panels of Kramer switchers and matrices are designed to be simple to operate, and accomplish the basic function of selecting an input source and output device.

12.2.1Keystrokes

1.Press the appropriate output key followed by the appropriate input key in order to switch an input to an output.

2.Press "ALL" followed by the appropriate input key to connect an input to all the outputs.

3.Press "ALL" followed by the appropriate output key to connect all the outputs according to the way the selected one is connected.

4.Pressing "OFF" instead of an input key will disconnect an output.

5.Any of the above instructions may be executed by pressing the two keys simultaneously rather than pressing them consecutively. When using two keys, the display will flash the appropriate output(s) while waiting for the second keystroke (if the second key is not pressed within a period of one minute, the pending operation is canceled).

6.Pressing input keys 1, 2 and 3 simultaneously will reset the machine.

12.3DIP SWITCH Settings

1.If only one machine is used in the system, it must be set up as the master.

2.If more than one machine is used, setup one as file master, and the others as slaves, each slave having its own unique "slave number" - except for file case where machines are hooked up in parallel (see below).

3.The VS-4x4YConly reads the dip-switch setting on initialization, so if the switch settings are changed while the machine is on, the machine must be turned off and then on again, (or input keys 1, 2 and 3 pressed together) in order that the new switch settings are realized.

4.If several machines are to be used "in parallel" to switch together, e.g. when using 4 machines together to make a 4X4 RGBS switcher, then all the parallel machines should be set up to have the same slave number.

5.If the VS-4x4YCis to be used as a VIS-4x4, then dip-switch 2 should be OFF. Note that when simulating a VIS-4x4, the "OFF" key is not relevant, and is ignored.

6.The dip-switch settings are as follows:

	1	2*	3	4	5	6	7	8
UNIT 1 (master)	ON	ON	ON	OFF	OFF	OFF	OFF	OFF
UNIT 2 (slave 1)	OFF	ON	OFF	OFF	OFF	OFF	OFF	ON
UNIT 3 (slave 2)	OFF	ON	OFF	OFF	OFF	OFF	ON	OFF
UNIT 4 (slave 3)	OFF	ON	OFF	OFF	OFF	OFF	ON	ON
UNIT 5 (slave 4)	OFF	ON	OFF	OFF	OFF	ON	OFF	OFF
UNIT 6 (slave 5)	OFF	ON	OFF	OFF	OFF	ON	OFF	ON
UNIT 7 (slave 6)	OFF	ON	OFF	OFF	OFF	ON	ON	OFF
UNIT 8 (slave 7)	OFF	ON	OFF	OFF	OFF	ON	ON	ON*
