Overview
3 Overview
The VS-6EIII is a high quality 4x4 Video Audio Matrix Swit c her for
composite video and audio stereo signals. It is a true matrix switcher, letting
you simultaneously route any input to any or all outputs. In particular, the
VS-6EIII 4x4 Video Audio Matrix Switcher features:
• 4 rotary input selector knobs
• Automatic switching of the stereo audio signals with the video
signals (audio-follow-video), when switching an input to an output
To achieve the best performance:
1
• Use only good quality connection cables
to avoid 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-6EIII away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
