• Using the front panel buttons
• Remotely, by RS-485 or RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a
touch screen system, PC, or other serial controller
• Remotely, from the Kramer RC-IR1 Infra-Red Remote Control
Transmitter 1
• Via external dry-contact push buttons
Note: From here onward, “unit” refers to the “VS-162AV / VS-162AVRCA”.
On the VS-162AV, the audio signals are balanced stereo signals on
detachable terminal block connectors. On the VS 162AVRCA, the audio
signals are unbalanced stereo signals on RCA connectors.
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 unit in a location
free from moisture and away from excessive sunlight and dust
4 Summary of how to Operate a Single Machine
By default, the 16x16 Audio-Video Matrix Switcher is setup for use as a
single machine. This means that it is:
• A 16x16 composite video switcher and a 16x16 balanced stereo audio
switcher (VS-162AV)/16x16 unbalanced stereo audio switcher
(VS-162AVRCA), set to function by default, in the audio-follow-video
mode
• Switched during the vertical interval of the external reference
In particular, be sure that the dipswitches are set as Figure 1 illustrates (see
section 6.3 for further details):
