INSTALLATION
Rack Mounting
The VS-41AV and VS-4X switchers may be rack-mounted in a standard 19” (1U) EIA rack assembly. The
VS-101AV has rack “ ears” at the ends of the front panel. To mount the VS-101AV switcher, simply place the
rack ears against the rack rails of your rack, and insert standard screws through each of the four corner holes in
the rack ears. The VS-41AV and VS-4X require special rack adapters (see section 4.1). For installation
procedure, follow the instructions in the installation guide enclosed with the adapter. The switchers in this
manual do not require any spacing above or below them for ventilation.
CONNECTING to VIDEO DEVICES
Video sources and output devices (such as monitors or recorders) may be connected to the switchers through the
BNC type connectors located on the back of the machines (models VS-41AV and VS-101AV.)
CONNECTING to AUDIO DEVICES
Audio sources and output devices, such as amplifiers or recorders, may be connected to all the switchers
through the RCA type connectors, or through the female/male XLR type connectors (VS-4X), located on the
back panels of the machines.
USING the VIDEO /AUDIO SWITCHERS
Controlling the Switcher
The switchers in this manual do not need to be activated, since they do not require any external power.
The operation of all the switchers described in this manual
is similar. The VS-41AV operation is described and may
be applied accordingly to the others.
Operation of the VS-41AV switcher is as follows:
1) Connect up to four video/stereo-audio sources to the input sockets of the switcher.
2) Connect a video/ stereo-audio acceptor to the output socket of the switcher.
3) Press one of the buttons marked “ 1” , “ 2” etc. on the front panel to select the required input to be switched
to the output. These buttons correspond to the input connections as marked on the back panel.
4) Operate sources and acceptors.
