3 Overview
The VS-5x5 is a true 5x5 matrix switcher for composite video signals and
balanced stereo audio signals. The VS-5x5 lets you simultaneously route any or
all of the 5 inputs to any or all of the 5 outputs.
The VS-5x5 5x5 Video Audio Matrix Switcher includes:
• Video bandwidth of 70MHz that ensures transparent performance
• Easy-to-connect detachable terminal block connectors for the audio signals
• Glitch-free transitions, which are produced when sources share a common
reference sync, as switching occurs during the vertical interval. Any input or
special external sync input may be selected as the vertical interval source
• DC coupled inputs and outputs
• Audio-follow-video and breakaway options
• The storing and recalling of setups
• A “Take” button for precise switch control
• A “Lock” button to prevent tampering with the front panel
• Gain control for all inputs and all outputs
Control the VS-5x5 via:
• The front panel buttons, infrared remote control transmitter, and remotely by
RS-485 or RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system,
PC, RC-IR3 or other serial controller
The VS-5x5 is housed in a 19” 1U rack mountable enclosure, with rack “ears”
included and is fed from a 100-240V AC universal switching power supply.
