3 Overview
The 88 Series is a group of 8x8 vertical interval matrix switchers for
video/stereo audio/data signals that support the simultaneous connection of
one or more inputs to several outputs 1 .
The major innovation with the 88 Series is the ability to switch different
kinds of signals simultaneously. Vertical interval switching ensures an
undisturbed picture transition. Switching is implemented according to the
SMPTE RP-168 standard, when using synchronized SDI sources.
The 88 Series includes the following items:
VS-88A 8 x 8 Balanced Audio Matrix Switcher
VS-88V 8 x 8 Video Matrix Switcher
SD-7588V 8 x 8 SDI Matrix Switcher
To achieve the best performance:
Use only good quality connection cables 2 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
products away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
