6.SOLUTIONS PROVIDED WITH THE VS-5X4

￿￿Video recording and playback frequently involving the use of several devices such as Video Cassette Recorders, Video Disc Players, Cameras, Video monitors, Video processors, Special Effects Generators, Live or Satellite Feeds or any combination of the above.

￿￿Hooking up a complex setup of several devices may result in a maze of wires, which is difficult to manage, cumbersome and possibly dangerous.

￿￿The VS-5x4 Vertical Interval Switcher offers an innovative solution to many of the problems arising from switching, editing and signal distribution.

￿￿The VS-5x4 Vertical Interval Switcher is simple-to-operate having five Composite video and five stereo audio inputs; and four Composite video and four stereo audio outputs. This allows you to simultaneously connect five sources and four acceptors efficiently and safely.

7.APPLICATIONS OF THE VS-5X4

a.A fully buffered and amplified matrix switching system.

b.A four output Composite video and stereo-audio distribution amplifier with selectable inputs.

c.A production, routing and program/preview switcher.

In the VS-5x4,video signals are switched by means of digital control pulses during the Vertical Interval.
