Overview
3 Overview
The Kramer VS-6YC s-Video 4x4 Matrix Switcher is a high quality 4x4
matrix switcher for composite and/or s-Video and stereo audio signals, letting
you route any input to any or all outputs simultaneously.
The VS-6YC features:
Composite video and s-Video connectors for use with either format1
Four router knobs, one for each of the four outputs
The VS-6YC is easy to use, dependable, rugged, and fits into one vertical
space of a standard 19” rack.
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-6YC
away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

Figure 1 and Table 1 define the VS-6YC s-Video 4x4 Matrix Switcher:
1 However, although a mixing of formats is possible the VS-6YC does not perform any signal format conversion. Thus
composite video sources need to be routed to composite video outputs and likewise, s-Video sources must be routed to
s-Video outputs
