8.INSTALLATION

8.1Rackmounting

The VS-5x4may be rackmounted in a standard 19” (1U) EIA rack assembly and includes rack “ears” at the ends of the front panel. The device does not require any specific spacing above or below the unit for ventilation. To rack mount the matrix, simply place the unit’s rack ears against the rack rails of the rack, and insert standard screws through each of the four corner holes in the rack ears.

9.CONNECTING TO VIDEO DEVICES

Video sources (such as cameras and VCRs) and output devices (such as monitors, projectors or recorders) may be connected to the switcher through the connectors located on the back of the unit.

10.CONNECTING to AUDIO DEVICES

Audio sources and output devices (such as amplifiers or recorders) may be connected to the VS-5x4switcher through the RCA type connectors located on the back of the unit. The VS-5x4supports unbalanced stereo audio signal types.

11.USING the VS-5X4

11.1Turning 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. Turn on the matrix by pressing the toggle switch on the far-left front panel to the up position. In the up position, the toggle switch glows.

11.2Using 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.

11.2.1Keystrokes

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

Press “ALL” followed by the appropriate input key to connect an input to all the outputs.

Pressing “OFF” instead of an input key will disconnect an output.

For the above instructions, the display will flash the appropriate output(s) while waiting for the second keystroke (if the second key is not pressed within one minute, the pending operation is canceled).

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

11.3DIP SWITCH Settings

The Dip switches are situated on the main board within the machine. These switches are used for control of several machines via one RS-232 controller or for operating machines in parallel. The factory default setting is for a “Master” machine, i.e., either the first in the chain or stand-alone operation.

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

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

The VS-5x4reads the dip-switch setting on initialization (only), so if the settings are changed, the new switch settings are realized when the machine is turned on. Do not change the DIP switch settings while the machine is powered on.
