6 Connecting the VS-88HC
This section describes how to connect the VS-88HC. In particular, how to:
Connect the VS-88HC rear panel (see section 6.1)
Connect the audio signals (see section 6.2)
Set the dipswitches (see section 6.3)
6.1 Connecting the VS-88HC Rear Panel
To connect the VS-88HC, as the example in Figure 4 illustrates, do the
following 1 :
1. Connect up to eight component video sources 2 (for example, eight DVD
players) to the three INPUT RCA connectors Y, U/Cb/Pb and V/Cr/Pr
(from INPUT 1 to INPUT 8) and connect the corresponding digital
audio sources to the S/PDIF 3 RCA connectors 4 (see section 6.2).
2. Connect 5 the eight sets of three OUTPUT RCA connectors Y, U/Cb/Pb
and V/Cr/Pr (from OUTPUT 1 to OUTPUT 8) to up to eight video
acceptors (for example, eight plasma displays), and connect the
corresponding S/PDIF 6 RCA and/or ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUTS
LEFT and RIGHT RCA connectors to the eight digital and/or analog
audio acceptors 7 respectively (see section 6.2)
3. Set the dipswitches (see section 6.3).
4. If required, connect a PC and/or controller to the RS-232 port (see
section 7.1) and/or the RS-485 port (see section 7.2) and/or the
ETHERNET port (see section 7.3).
5. Connect the power cord 8 (not shown in Figure 4).
1 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VS-88HC. After connecting your VS-88HC, switch on
its power and then switch on the power on each device. DO NOT push in the rear panel Flash Program “FLASH PROG”
button (see Table 3) and/or the ETH PROG switch. These are only used for upgrading to the latest Kramer firmware (see
section 9)
2 Although in this example eight inputs are connected, you can connect less inputs
3 Or alternatively, a TOSLINK connector on channel 2 (IN)
4 Simultaneously, you can also connect analog audio sources to the ANALOG AUDIO INPUTS LEFT and RIGHT RCA
connectors. The analog sources switch only to the analog outputs and the digital inputs switch only to the digital outputs
(including the optical input and output)
5 When less than eight outputs are required, connect only those outputs of the VS-88HC that are required, and leave the other
outputs unconnected
6 And/or a TOSLINK connector on channel 2 (OUT)
7 For example, an AV receiver or the audio connector of the plasma display
8 We recommend that you use only the power cord that is supplied with this machine
