3 Overview

The Kramer

VS-88HC is a matrix switcher designed for high quality home

entertainment. It is a true 8x8 matrix switcher for HDTV compatible,

component video (Y, Pb/Cb, Pr/Cr), digital audio (S/PDIF) and analog

unbalanced stereo audio signals, letting you simultaneously route any of the

eight inputs to any or all of the eight outputs. The component video, S/PDIF

and analog audio signals are on RCA connectors. The S/PDIF

INPUT/OUTPUT 2 is also available on optical (TOSlink) input/output

connectors.
The

VS-88HC features:

A resolution of up to 1080p, fully loaded
An audio channel sampling rate of up to 192kHz, including

multi-channel audio (suitable for multi-channel applications,

like AC3)

A built-in digital audio delay line on OUTPUT 2, which corrects

lip sync errors, so that the audio delay will match the video delay

DC coupled video inputs and outputs
Audio-follow-video and breakaway options, as well as input

and output analog audio level control

Storing and recalling of 16 setups
A TAKE button for precise switch control
A LOCK button to prevent tampering with the front panel
A 7-segment display showing the status

Control the

VS-88HC using the front panel buttons, or remotely via:

RS-232 and RS-485 serial commands transmitted by a touch

screen system, PC, or other serial controller

The Kramer infra-red remote control transmitter
The ETHERNET
An external remote IR Receiver (optional)

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 Kramer

VS-88HC away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
