Overview
The Kramer
VS-1616D
is a high performance matrix switcher chassis for AV
signals. The unit is modular and populated from 2 x 2 to 16 x 16 ports in increments
of two inputs and/or two outputs. The unit supports various signals, depending on
the type of cards installed and includes a power supply, control module and a test
module that can monitor and test any input and output in the matrix. It features a
very high bandwidth of up to 3.2Gbps (for the chassis only, effective bandwidth of
the system depends on the input / output cards, see
Section 9
) that ensures
transparent performance even in the most critical applications. The cards re-clock
and equalize the signals and the chassis can route any or all inputs to any or all
outputs simultaneously.
The
VS-1616D
is highly configurable–you can add or remove inputs and outputs
independently in groups of two and mix different types of input/output cards in the
same chassis. For example, you can configure a device as a 4 x 12 or a 16 x 8
matrix switcher to exactly suit your needs.
The
VS-1616D
features:
•
Full 16 x 16 non-blocking matrix array to switch any of the 16 input digital
signals to any or all outputs (see
Section 5
•
Easy access to 60 pre-set memory locations for quick access to user-defined
setups
•
Fast switching on outputs to reduce or remove switching delay
•
The Kramer 2000 Protocol for serial control
•
A 40 character by 2 line LCD that shows the operational status or the
configuration menu
•
A lock function to prevent tampering with the front panel
•
A default EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) for each input
•
EDID Capture – Copies and stores the EDID from a display device
•
EDID PassThru – Passes EDID/HDCP signals from source to display
•
Non-volatile EDID storage
